Quarries and Security

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.
