Local Government

For over 15 years, Petards have offered a range of solutions to the Government sector. Unifying the control rooms of major cities, we have provided the visible equipment, back-office systems and mobile CCTV that drive an integrated and efficient operational system.

The UVMS video management system allows petabytes of analogue and digital (IP) video data to be instantly accessed, replayed and exported for use in court as evidence.

Rapid deployment of the Swift range of wireless CCTV cameras is now available over WiFi, WiMAX and Mesh networks alongside conventional FM and COFDM offerings. Over 1500 Swift cameras are used in the UK alone. Integrated video intelligence increases the benefits of these systems by creating a practical method of monitoring thousands of cameras to detect crime, unruly behaviour and terrorist threats.

Object and feature recognition is at the heart of these technologies, with reading of vehicle number plates (ANPR) being one of the most simple intelligent applications we offer.
