Request

I am writing to find out the manufacturer and brand of the CCTV cameras installed (and planned to be installed) on Central Avenue, West Bridgford, as part of the Safer Streets Scheme. I would like confirmation that these cameras are not manufactured by Chinese state-owned companies or companies with any ties to the government of the People's Republic of China.

Additionally, I would like to know if these cameras are currently, or are planned to be used with features other than video recording/monitoring, including but not limited to; audio, facial or biometric recognition, ANPR, people counting (detects and records entries, exits, queues and waiting times), or any other Artificial Intelligence detection algorithms.

Wireless CCTV Ltd - Head Office

Charles Babbage House
