New CCTV camera installed on Dorset Road

A temporary petard CCTV camera has been put up on Dorset Road. The camera offers clears views of the shops, parts of the South Lambeth Estate and the stretch of Dorset Road towards Clapham Road.

Although the area has been quieter in previous years, partly thanks to the action in implementing a dispersal zone, this camera will provide the opportunity to record behaviour and gather intelligence on problematic individuals for further action.

Please contact the CCTV suite if you witness anti-social behaviour or any activity you feel should be monitored and recorded in the area. You can leave a voicemail message which will be picked up by monitoring officer. The number is 020 7926 0494.

The article would benefit from an explanation of what a "petard" CCTV camera is. Does it explode if it detects anti-social behaviour?

A petard camera is a relocateable camera, used for short periods in areas not protected by fixed cameras, where there is clear evidence of crime and disorder.

The camera is in high demand across the Borough, and there is a risk it will be moved to another location in the near future, hence it is important the community contact the CCTV suite if they experience or witness anti-social behaviour so we can gather as much evidence as possible for further action against problematic individuals/premises for a long term solution.

I am interested on the cause of the camera. I heard that the specs are quite top notch.

CCTV cameras are important to increase security alert level in a certain area or establishment. This will also serve as an evidence in case of crimes or accidents. CCTV Bristol

Having a CCTV camera in your area is very important, especially when your place is a residential area. Home is the place where you must feel most safe and these cameras could just help you with that. Conveyancing Baldivis
