Airports
"When it comes to flying, what is your biggest fear?.." If you asked that question not long ago, the answer may have been mechanical malfunction, an overall fear of heights or perhaps even missing the connecting flight. However, the events of September 11, 2001 put a different kind of fear at the top of the list for many travellers and airports are re-evaluating their security measures, taking new precautions and urging the British people to feel free to fly
Financial
Financial institutions paved the way in the use of CCTV surveillance in the early 1960s. Now, some 40 years later, this technology has not only stood the test of time but also it has made dramatic advances, and new benefits continue to be realized.
Initially, the sole purpose of CCTV was to capture a bank robber's face on camera so that the police could later play back the footage to identify the villain. Unfortunately, the video was often so fuzzy that the perpetrator couldn't be recognized. Even if the villain could be recognised, he was usually long gone by the time the police arrived. Today, things are much different. Quality cameras from VISION GUARD CCTV UK capture crisp, clear images and the recording capabilities are much more advanced. In addition, the police and security personnel are not limited to watching the events on tape. They can view live video and respond to alarms from central monitoring stations at remote locations. Accordingly, it is actually possible to identify the robber and apprehend him before he even leaves the premises.
However there are more uses for CCTV in banks than catching robbers. Studies have also revealed that CCTV has actually deterred attempts of criminal activity, including fraud. Banks also use CCTV cameras outside their buildings, located in weatherproof, vandal-resistant housings. These cameras monitor parking lots, after-hours depositories, ATMs, etc.
In addition to improving safety and security, major banks use video footage to evaluate peak hours of activity at their branches. This has assisted management to make the best use of tellers through optimum scheduling. The footage is also effective in training employees and improving overall performance.
Correctional
There are places where you can never let your guard down, and it's no surprise that correctional facilities rank at the top of the list. In these situations, quality makes all the difference. That's why so many prisons count on VISION GUARD CCTV UK.
Correctional facilities depend on CCTV technology to document events and the movement of inmates through the facility. Studies have shown that the presence of video surveillance actually deters confrontations because inmates realize their movements are being documented and they could face additional criminal charges with evidence provided by a key witness that's hard to dispute. Many prison officials have found CCTV to be their best defence against allegations that officers are mistreating inmates. This is particularly evident when Emergency Response Teams perform cell rushes to prevent an inmate from endangering himself, guards or the rest of the prison population.
Video footage is also an effective tool in training guards and other prison staff. By studying recorded incidents, they can spot any weaknesses and improve their overall performance.
VISION GUARD CCTV UK's state-of-the-art video surveillance components are highly reliable in capturing crisp, clear images. Using high-speed dome camera systems with programmable video guard tours, the institutions get maximum camera coverage of their facilities with fewer installed cameras. In addition, VISION GUARD CCTV UK offer tamper-resistant camera housings for both indoor and outdoor use, as well as changing light conditions.

VISION GUARD CCTV UK is helping retailers defend themselves against crime, with innovative electronic security and surveillance technology.

The cameras are engineered for performance and designed to blend with facility aesthetics. With weatherproof enclosures, cameras can also be placed around building perimeters and parking areas for maximum system efficiency, VISION GUARD CCTV UK's high-speed, pan-and-tilt domes allow retailers to get the same viewing coverage with fewer installed cameras. The entire system can be monitored and controlled from a single, user-friendly workstation located on site or at a remote location, or it can record images for later viewing.
The mere presence of CCTV can deter criminal activity and keep employees honest. However, if an incident does occur, it is caught on camera. Video footage has been effective in helping police solve and prosecute crimes including shoplifting, price tag switching, check and credit card fraud, counterfeiting, customer return fraud, employee and vendor theft, burglary, vandalism, arson, bomb threats, assaults, gang-related activity, kidnapping, armed robbery and more. It also is effective in fighting fraudulent slip-and-fall and workman's compensation claims
