ROCHDALE, United Kingdom -- Wireless CCTV Ltd (WCCTV) has been presented with a Queen''s Award for Enterprise, in the category of Innovation for 2009. The continuous development of WCCTV’s high-tech Wireless Dome Camera systems and its socially responsible ethos have earned the Company recognition amongst the UK''s business elite.
The Queen''s Award is one of the most prestigious corporate awards in the UK and is conferred on organisations that demonstrate both exceptional performance in their field and a positive impact on society at large. In WCCTV''s case, the awards committee were impressed by the technological evolution of the Wireless Dome camera. In addition the overall performance of the product delivered enhanced community safety and crime prevention together with successful prosecution, while at the same time offering excellent value for both private and public sector.
The WCCTV Wireless Dome is a portable, rapidly deployable surveillance system which can be operated and monitored remotely by users anywhere in the world. The latest mobile phone, Wi-Fi and broadband technology allows WCCTV users to fully control their cameras and to capture faces and number plates without being anywhere near the site of the incident. Users are also able to download recorded, evidential quality footage from their Dome camera irrespective of their location. Field operatives with a hand-held device or laptop computer can monitor cameras as effectively as their control room colleagues, allowing for immediate action to be taken if required.
Wireless CCTV''s Dome camera systems have begun to play an important strategic role for a growing number of public sector clients in the UK. But customers from a wider audience are also increasingly recognising the flexibility and value that WCCTV offers within their surveillance plans. In this context the Company has built on its reputation and its successes to date in other sectors such as traffic management, construction and environmental protection.
WCCTV allows these organisations to provide an immediate response to the needs of their community by providing systems which are both portable and flexible. This is because unlike a traditional CCTV camera connected via fixed cable links, WCCTV''s Wireless Domes can be operational within a matter of minutes. This has made them an increasingly effective tool for short term deployments covering temporary events and problem hotspots. Furthermore technological improvements in both the equipment and transmission speed have cemented WCCTV''s status as a cost effective alternative to fixed CCTV systems.
David Gilbertson, Managing Director of Wireless CCTV Ltd commented: “It makes me immensely proud to see Wireless CCTV''s market leading innovation recognised in the grant of a Queen''s Award for Enterprise. Our team at WCCTV has consistently demonstrated its ability to provide our customers with the very latest products and the Queen''s Award is a tribute to that commitment.” David continued: “We firmly believe that this Award will be a springboard for WCCTV during the coming years as we seek to expand our business into overseas markets.”
