The
quarry industry has employed the use of closed circuit television systems for
over 30years.
Back
then the main issue was cutting costs by installing cameras to survey conveyor
junctions and crusher hoppers. These areas were constantly patrolled checking
that the plant was working and the material flowing.
Quarries
being noisy, dusty and dangerous places, for someone to be walking around
checking the process was expensive and potentially fatal.
Closed
circuit television systems started to become an essential and are now designed
into new plants from the start.
Line
powered cameras are easily installed and provide high resolution images in
restricted areas.
Over
time security has become an issue with the rising prices for scrap metals and in
particular copper. The theft of armoured copper cables providing power to
remote machinery is now the target; we have systems that combat this problem.
We
use wireless technology to eliminate the requirement for cabling and transmit
video up to 5 miles where it is processed and transmitted of site to a cctv
monitoring station.
These
systems have proved outstanding and successful prosecutions have been the result.
