Zandar MultiViewer equipment has been selected for a new CCTV monitoring system at Warrington Borough Council.
Warrington required a control room to improve local surveillance and replace ageing CCTV monitoring feeds, from an outdated control room. They decided to build a new 24-hour security monitoring control room, which allows local police to visit to obtain images for evidence. A command wall system uses a Zandar MultiViewer system displaying real-time multi image views of pictures captured from all over the district.
The MultiViewer product enables Warrington to combine, view and manipulate the various sources they need to monitor. Operators, with the click of a button on any area selected on the screen, can view all of the security cameras in that area. User macros have also been set up, enabling a group of cameras to be selected in specific areas of the borough, such as all of the popular nightspots in the town centre, in order to monitor the cluster of cameras in that location.
Deirdre Smith, CEO of Dublin-based Zandar Technologies, says: “There are obvious technical benefits to using the command wall system. It reduces the power consumption, reduces the air conditioning requirements and offers flexibility for the future control room and security monitoring expansions".
Increasingly, multi-image viewers are recognised as a more versatile alternative to the traditional video wall displays, Zandar claims.
