More than 170,000 festival-goers at Glastonbury have been protected from the threat of crime including theft thanks to a CCTV system that relies on Bosch DiBos DVRs.

Crime figures released by Avon and Somerset Police, showed that arrests for the 2008 festival stood at 134, down on 2007 and that 99.7 per cent of revelers did not experience any crime.West Haddon-based Crimesecure Surveillance Services Ltd has worked very closely with several police forces for many years, this partnership involves providing advice and support for local crime reduction initiatives, as well as providing mobile CCTV coverage for crime operations and major events.

"We have been working with organisers at Glastonbury for a few years now and it was clear from the start what was required. As soon as we became aware of the benefits of DiBos the ease of accessing images, the quality of those images and the speed of set up, we had to test it in the field. Since first trialing the equipment, it has become a mainstay in our systems I would not specify anything else."
