Cortech Developments and Vicon have collaborated to provide Cleveland Police with an integrated security system for their recently opened custody suite in Hartlepool. 

“A custody suite places demands on systems which are very different from most security applications.  It is a fast and frenetic atmosphere with the staff at the charge desk handling calls, requests, alerts, alarms, controlling points of entry and exit with the distraction of a potentially volatile and hostile environment,” said Denise Bonson, Security Access Control Administrator for Cleveland Police Headquarters. 

“We therefore needed a security solution which could transparently integrate our access control, intruder alarm, intercom and CCTV, to ensure that we gain maximum benefit from all the individual systems.”

The Datalog 4 SMS now offers full integration with the Visimetrics range of Digital Video Recorders, including FASTAR, OCTAR and VADER.

When an alarm occurs on Datalog up to four cameras can be associated with a circuit and switched to a preset. The alarm event can then be replayed on the Datalog screen to show pre and post video verification. Historic replay of events is also available together with manual camera selection for replay and live.
