i-COMPLY’s V-TAS Pro is key to combined CCTV Monitoring Centre

Consolidating two separate town centre CCTV systems into a single integrated control facility has produced many operational and economical benefits for Redditch and Bromsgrove. At the centre of the new control facility, is the latest   V-Tas Pro Integrated Security Application Platform from i-Comply.

Following a shared services review by Redditch and Bromsgrove councils in Summer 2010, a joint management structure was proposed that included the consolidation of the two towns’ CCTV camera systems, to be integrated into one network at a newly refurbished Redditch Monitoring Centre.
