Wandsworth chooses Videalert to install unattended CCTV cameras

The London Borough of Wandsworth has chosen Videalert to install unattended CCTV enforcement cameras at what it calls ‘problem’ locations. The move is part of a shared parking drive to improve operational efficiency and achieve cost savings. Wandsworth’s parking team trialled Videalert’s Digital Video Platform which revealed high capture rates in busy traffic conditions through ONVIF-compliant cameras. In addition, the system also captured multiple contraventions from a single wide-area network unit.

The London Borough of Wandsworth has chosen 7513 Videalert to install unattended CCTV enforcement cameras at what it calls ‘problem’ locations. The move is part of a shared parking drive to improve operational efficiency and achieve cost savings.

Wandsworth’s parking team trialled Videalert’s Digital Video Platform which revealed high capture rates in busy traffic conditions through ONVIF-compliant cameras. In addition, the system also captured multiple contraventions from a single wide-area network unit.

Tim Daniels, sales and marketing director of Videalert, says the solution uses automatic number plate recognition and video analytics while minimising equipment infrastructure and communication costs at the enforcement location.

Following the trial, unattended cameras have already been installed at four locations as part of Wandsworth’s plan to transition to Videalert’s system.
