AND NOW CCTV ‘TAKES CENTRE STAGE’ @ BBC's PROMS IN THE PARK

A 10,000-strong crowd who turned out to see the legendary Chris de Burgh perform for BBC’s Proms in the Park at Buile Hill Park in Salford, were kept safe like no other music fans ever before. Organisers from Salford City Council provided CCTV for the audience, to prevent and predict potential trouble spots in the crowd, using the advanced Intelligent Moving Camera known as IMC, from Viseum. The camera monitored an area the size of 14 football pitches to look out for potential incidents, all by itself, without human intervention.

The reaction of everyone was that of sheer astonishment; after seeing the camera moving around watching suspect activity, people learned it was completely automated and not being controlled by a person. Whilst providing a key benefit of not infringing anyone’s privacy, this camera’s performance provided reassurance for the audience that they were being actively protected, ensuring the ultimate deterrent to would-be-offenders. 
key to the camera’s success is in the fact that it can be pre-programmed to monitor particular activities in particular areas, but it will still look out for incidents in the many areas where random crimes could occur. At the Proms concert the camera was scheduled to look for any type of “crowd surge or kerfuffle”. Group 4, main show contractors, commented: “This system is extremely easy to use and significantly adds to crowd protection. Having any type of CCTV at these types of event is rare. This may now have changed with the introduction of this technology.” Local police present at the event commented: “Impressive”, “certainly very clever technology”, and “amazing!” 


“The BBC had never seen anything like it”, added Stuart Thompson. “It took us a while to explain that nobody was operating it, and there was no danger of us getting in their way as it was totally automated.”
