Zandar installs state of the art CCTV control centre

With the growing convergence of the broadcast and CCTV markets, Zandar Technologies, a leading technology innovator and pioneer in MultiViewer systems, is increasingly become the number one choice for organisations using high-level video display and monitoring solutions.
Following successful installations at many demanding security environments across the world, Zandar MultiViewer equipment has been selected for a new state of the art, high resolution CCTV monitoring system at Warrington Borough Council.
With the emphasis on safeguarding Warrington Borough and its public, the customer required a cutting edge control room facility to improve local surveillance and replace ageing CCTV monitoring feeds undertaken from an outdated control room. They decided to build a new 24-hour security monitoring control room facility to improve their continued commitment to combat crime, and which allows local police to regularly visit to obtain images for evidence. Central to this new facility is a command wall system which uses a Zandar MultiViewer system displaying real-time multi image views of pictures captured from all over the district.
The flexibility of the Zandar MultiViewer enables Warrington Borough Council to concentrate on their prime objectives by allowing them to combine, view and manipulate the various sources they need to monitor. This technology enables operators, with the simple click of a button on any area selected on the screen, to easily view all of the security cameras in that area. User macros have also been set up, enabling a group of cameras to be selected in specific areas of the borough, such as all of the popular nightspots in the town centre, in order to monitor the cluster of cameras in that location. "There are obvious technical benefits to using the command wall system," commented Deirdre Smith, CEO of Zandar Technologies. "It reduces the power consumption, reduces the air conditioning requirements and offers flexibility for the future control room and security monitoring expansions".
