Sophisticated digital video recording solutions for customized town centre projects

For customised town centre projects where flexibility is key, Vigilant™ offers sophisticated digital video recording solutions.

As the bid to reduce crime in town and city centres around the world increases, CCTV in these areas is becoming a growing trend for the protection of the public, buildings and car parks. Equally, CCTV has a major part to play in reducing the fear of crime in these public spaces.

City and town centre CCTV schemes are one of the most demanding applications in terms of meeting the requirements of the various users (police, local authorities, local businesses and crime prevention groups) and the complexities of linking remote sites into one central control room. It is the recording system that users will look to when vital information is needed for inspection and evidential use.
City and town centre schemes are now replacing their analogue recorders with digital video recording systems because the digital option is so much more efficient in terms of retrieving, accessing and storing images, video quality and ease of use.

The Vigilant™ digital video recording system is ideal for town and city centre schemes because it meets the key requirements that help to make such a scheme efficient.
