Telemetry equipment from Vicon Industries has recently been installed at a housing estate in Landport, Portsmouth. The Landport estate, known as ?Landport Courts? is in the heart of Portsmouth. The area has suffered from petty crime, anti-social behaviour, vandalism and drug-related issues but is now having investment from an urban regeneration programme. That includes the installation of CCTV systems. Fareham-based installer TM Security have installed Vicon?s V1466 video matrix unit. This microprocessor-controlled unit accommodates pre-configured systems with minimum 32 inputs and 16 outputs to maximum 256 inputs and 32 outputs. The matrix offers tour sequence support and there is also provision for titling and a built-in interface for control by a host computer which is achieved through a graphical PC configurator.
Vandal-resistant
The 50-camera system at Landport Courts includes vandal-resistant assemblies within the individual buildings and on stairwells. The installation features fibre-optic links to the main Portsmouth City Council control room, using bi-directional fibre-optics and RS422/RS485 protocol. The installation will soon be extended to cover car parking areas and recreational spaces. TM Security, a consultant and installer in the public and retail sectors and have achieved the ISO9002 quality standard award, have worked with Portsmouth City Council, and at London?s Dorchester Hotel.
