Talking CCTV – Anti Social Behaviour Just Got a Talking To


One of the most important jobs when underwriting an insurance policy is assessing the likelihood of a loss occuring.
Therefore the new Talking CCTV Camera schemes that are making news across the UK could be good news for businesses and local communities if as expected their introduction leads to a reduction in vandalism and crime.

“You, Yes you, Stand still Laddie!”

What does the line above (a lyric from Pink Floyd’s classic album The Wall) and anti-social behaviour have in common?

Well the answer lies in the newest crime prevention tool to hit UK streets in the form of Talking CCTV Camera (closed circuit television) systems.

The new Talking CCTV Camera system gives businesses and local authorities the opportunity to take advantage of a simple yet highly effective tool in the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour.

Drunkenness, drinking in the street, shouting abuse at passers by, theft, drug taking, vandalism and assaults are just some of the issues facing business owners, the police and the general public so any system which could prevent this is likely to be welcomed.

So what exactly is Talking CCTV?

Well Talking CCTV allows a central CCTV monitoring station to issue instructions and/or warnings via a loudspeaker system that is easily installed with CCTV cameras. The result being that potential trouble can be averted.

If potential trouble makers are told they are being watched and that police are on their way then issues such as vandalism and assaults could well be averted before they begin.

And whilst there is certain to be concern from some that “Big Brother” is watching the fact is that there are already over 4.2 million CCTV camera’s in the UK alone (one for every 14 people) so this method of security is already common place.

Therefore the new Talking CCTV Camera system which uses modern Two Way Radio technology means there is now a new simple to use, easy to install and wireless solution to tackling anti-social behaviour on the streets of the UK.
