"We are using the C-Allviews as an alternative to traditional PTZ cameras because they offer significant advantages at a competitive price," explains general manager Steve Craddock.
He says that because of the high image quality produced by the new cameras, TJW's local authority clients now see them as ideal options for town centre surveillance.
"A good practical demonstration of this is when operators follow a vehicle
Because the C-Allview features optically flat glass, which is distortion-free, it gives brighter, clearer images at higher zoom ranges.
Sealed to IP67, the C-Allviews can also be installed in harsh and challenging environments. In one of the Medway installations, in Rainham, two C-Allviews have been located in a car park behind the popular Cricketers pub, and will provide extra security for both motorists and pedestrians using the car park as a cut-through to the high street, and shoppers and traders using the site for the weekly market.
The C-Allview's neat, compact design means it is also suitable for use anywhere where a standard external dome might otherwise be used. In the case of Rainham, for example, the models are located close to a historic Norman church and have minimal impact on the character of the area.
