Since 2003 the Home Office has invested £170,000,000 on the Crime Reduction CCTV Initiative. A Home Office report on Police perceptions of CCTV states:

"88% (of Police Officers interviewed) said that CCTV had a positive impact on their job, and the same number felt that more money should be spent on CCTV. CCTV is seen as a vital part of the policing toolkit. Its preventative power allowing officers to pre-empt trouble, its use as an extra set of eyes or for intelligence gathering and the deterrent effect were all seen as benefits." Source: Home Office

Why install CCTV? The short answer is for security and crime prevention. CCTV is evident in all areas of our lives from city centres to residential properties, from banks to small businesses. CCTV:

• prevents crime
• reduces vandalism
• reduces anti-social behaviour
• monitors your property and vehicles
• can be used in prosecutions
• can record all persons entering and leaving your building

Site Survey

Trace Electricals 20 point site surveys are systematic assessments of the clients' needs and the problems to be addressed. Using the guidelines mentioned above, concerning operational requirements, we are able to deliver effective and economically viable systems.

Our surveys include:

• identifying performance goals
• identifying potential problem areas including weak spots, likely points of entry and alarmed areas
• asking what is to be observed and why
• identifying the clarity required. i.e. real-time, colour, extra lighting etc
• asking what area requires coverage
• questioning the purpose of the coverage. i.e. monitoring, detecting, recognition or identification
• defining operational requirements from technical requirements
• asking the desired security response
• addressing observational interface issues
• performing risk analysis including frequency and likelihood of activity

Once our survey is complete, a full and detailed report and quotation is forwarded to the client.

In summary, it is good business practice to pay the relatively small price of CCTV security.
