Bosch keeps British Grand Prix on track
14 December 2009
Visitors to the 2009 Formula One Santander British Grand Prix at Silverstone were protected against the threat of crime by a CCTV system that includes the Dibos DVR recorders and Vipex IP encoders and decoders.
The Dibos recorders were specified by West Haddon-based Crimesecure Surveillance Services Ltd, to collate all CCTV images from 16 wireless remote cameras via a local area network (LAN) and monitored on a mobile monitoring centre as well as the local Police authority.This is the second consecutive year the DVRs have been used at the prestigious three day event and Chris Healey, Manager Director of Crimesecure Surveillance Services Ltd explains why:
"We have been using the Bosch Dibos and Vipex encoders for the last two years now and although we have had some teething problems when setting up, which you would expect from a site such as Silverstone, these have been resolved and we are extremely happy."
This year, a link was set up from the circuit to Northamptonshire Police so that officers could monitor the footage real time and access recordings.
Chris continues;
"The versatility of the Dibos is second to none, the police are impressed with how simply they can access footage. We are always asked questions as to what equipment we use at these events and we always respond that the Bosch Dibos does everything we require."
At the end of the event, images are exported from Dibos on to USB drives and stored in case it is needed for evidence.
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 reliable mobile CCTV coverage for crime operations and major events, which relies on Bosch technology.
