Chelmsford City Council

Project Description: Chelmsford is one of England’s newest cities and has a population of around 170,000.

Link CCTV Systems have been partnered with Chelmsford City Council for over 25 years, completing numerous installs and upgrades that utilise the very best technology, ensuring the safety of the local and surrounding areas.

In the latest upgrade, 200 new high-quality cameras were installed in various areas, including; public parks, shopping centres, high-streets, community centres and car-parks, increasing the surveillance area and taking the total camera count for the City to over 500. Each camera in the City was upgraded to HD and fed back to one central VMS system. This improved the quality of the pictures relayed back to the control room and have helped the operators navigate the platform with ease.

This complex system is made up of nearly 20 remote hubs which utilise powerful wireless transmission to connect back to the central monitoring station, overcoming the traditional challenges inherent in moving large quantities of video data at real time and without a drop in quality. This in turn has empowered operators to identify and respond to incidents faster, thus better protecting the public and providing superior quality of evidence for prosecutions.

Not only this, but the project was completed a month ahead of schedule!

Completion Date: July 2020
