Estate Wide HD CCTV and ANPR

Security is a major priority for Halton BID and the businesses of Astmoor and Halebank. The estate wide HD CCTV and ANPR systems help to ensure you and your business are secure by acting as a major deterrent to crime. In addition when a crime is committed on the estate these systems will help to identify these individuals and help to push for prosecutions. When appropriate Halton BID will work with Cheshire Police by providing retrospective footage to help with investigations.

Automatic number-plate recognition is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data. Our Automatic Number Plate Recognition is state of the art and works in conjunction with our numerous CCTV cameras to keep BID properties safe.

The system has inbuilt extra capacity for future expansion and also includes privacy zones for cameras close to residential areas.
