CCTV for Bradford

Optilan was contracted by Mason Communications, on behalf of Bradford Trident, to design, supply, install, and commission a CCTV system for the Park Lane, Marshfields and West Bowling areas of Bradford, and to upgrade and support the associated CCTV Control Centre.

Creating this 21 camera system involved the provision of::

• Civil Works duct extensions totaling over 3km


• Pole mounted cameras with Privacy Zone blackout


• A fibre network to transmit video and telemetry data to the new control room facility.


• Upgrading of existing Graphic User Interface


• Upgrading of existing Telecommand video matrix and controller to accommodate the new cameras.

The environment into which the new cameras were installed was one of
high traffic sensitivity, being mostly along an arterial road. During our time
on site, the road was being extensively re-developed to incorporate a
central two-lane Metro Bus system.

As a result, much of our work on site (both civil works and installation activities) was under close scrutiny from the Council Highways and Health and Safety departments.

The project was successfully completed on time and without disruption.
