By Eoin Clarke
Currently we have an epidemic of street crime in London & many homes do not take advantage of their location, to protect their surroundings with CCTV security. My aim is to deter or catch criminals.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
A professionally installed CCTV does deter crime, especially if the right camera is installed in the right location. In the event of crime, CCTV can provide identification or number plate reg images which can be used by the Police as evidence in court. Home owners located at street entrances and other strategic locations can help protect the entire street. The footage can help the victims by providing images of the incidents. This can be done remotely with a password & all data is secure. Not all houses have to have CCTV on the street and other people can donate to the scheme to share the costs and benefits. Plus the quality & standard of CCTV has improved vastly, whilst the set up cost and maintenance can be low. If home owners or participants in the scheme use the same design, equipment selection and support procedures, the whole scheme is literally guaranteed to be efficient and effective. Once a few criminals get caught, the street will experience a big drop in crime & feel safe.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This project is a great idea because we already have very uccessful CCTV street schemes in operation around Fulham, Battersea and Chelsea right now. Our CCTV schemes reduce and prevent crime by 80%. Our CCTV systems have a 95% success rate in capturing identification images of offenders. Private CCTV are now very effective and affordable. Whereas, Council CCTV systems are very costly to install, maintain and do not have the same capability. HD Static cameras at low or eye level on homes can capture identification shots of pedrestrians or vehicle number plates registrations at speed. We think, plan and work together on community projects, to positively protect our streets & homes & this could be a solution.
Steps to get it done:

VolunteerI'm Eoin Clarke, Managing Director of CCTV Camera London Ltd. I'm committed to reducing crime in London using the latest CCTV and have been installing and maintaining the best CCTV security across London for 10 years. I've helped many business and home owners & assisted the police in numerous investigations. Now I feel is the time for residents to work together to protect their own streets to keep control. The Police and Goverment do not always have the resources to protect our streets like CCTV can. My company is NSI approved and I'm backed up by my full time engineers. Our service makes people feel safe, secure and in control. Knowing that they have a great CCTV gives them great peace of mind.
I have seen crime rise and police numbers reduced over the years in London. Particularly lately, I am concerned for my family, friends, neighbours and my own safety. I believe we can use CCTV technology to beat crime, if we work together and share the costs.
I have found trying to get neighbourhoods and communities to work together to protect themselves, can be very slow and reactive. Maybe, if there were government guidelines, sponsored schemes or a CCTV Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in action, progress could be faster, more effective and the crime rate would not be as serious or escalating.
