Avigilon PTZ and multisensor cameras

All images from the cameras are fed back to a secure, 24/7 monitoring suite control room based at Pershore

A range of Avigilon PTZ and multisensor cameras have been installed in strategic locations and trouble spots around Worcester city centre; all the cameras have infrared (IR) technology to provide exceptional image quality, even in low-light settings. 

All images from the cameras are fed back to a secure, 24/7 monitoring suite control room based at Pershore and equipped with the latest version of the ACC™ Video Management Software, for ease of use and future expansion as it can be used for monitoring multiple systems.

Avigilon Appearance Search™

Operators can also use Avigilon Self-Learning Video Analytics including Avigilon Appearance Search™, which enables them to quickly sort through hours of video to locate a specific person or vehicle by entering physical descriptions, and uploading a photo, or finding an example within the recorded video.

The Avigilon technology has provided system reliability and high image quality, as well as advanced analytics. The cameras have been deployed in such a way as to optimise and futureproof the City Council’s investment to keep our communities safe. We now literally and metaphorically have the bigger picture,” said Warwick Neale, Team Manager Community Services, Worcester City Council.
