Within the Commercial and operational portfolio, we operate a number of fixed CCTV cameras located on assets across the borough. These include sites owned and managed by the council, leased properties, and locations managed by our appointed managing agents. The total number is high and varies by site, but the current estimate of fixed CCTV cameras is approximately 50 cameras. We do not hold information on supplier origin.
The ASB team have 3 sets of cameras, these were purchased from Idefigo so I am unable to say where they where they originated from
2. Please also provide the total number of the council’s CCTV cameras that use either live or retrospective facial recognition and how many of these are produced by Chinese companies.
None of our cameras have facial recognition features.
