Security Design Centre use ANPR to secure The Business VillagePublished on 10 September 2008  | | The ANPR system has proven to be more effective than a manned guard |
Security Design Centre Ltd, the West Midlands based security installation company, has successfully used CCTV with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) to secure The Business Village, an industrial park in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire where tenants include the Porsche owners club.The ANPR system recognises and records the registrations of all vehicles entering or leaving the site, flashing the registration up on a large LED display above the on-site gate house. CCTV dome cameras record all other site activity, which can be viewed and controlled from the gate house and from The Corps remote monitoring station, a BS8418 compliant service giving 24/7 operator coverage. Site access is constantly monitored and any unwanted visitors are identified and asked to leave via speaker. Video evidence can also be provided for prosecution purposes. Should intruders remain on-site after a verbal warning, or if a key-holder response is required, The Corp instigate a site visit from Phoenix Security, a local patrol service- alternatively the police can be asked to respond initially. Security Design Centre director, Mike Paul explained, "The system has proven to be more effective than a manned guard and at a far less cost. Theft, vandalism, trespass, intrusion and false alarms are now rare and the lone worker and health and safety issues that can face manned guards are avoided. The Business Village is also able to offer improved services to its tenants including using ANPR data for monitoring staff and visitor time keeping." |
