CRITERIA FOR FUTURE CCTV

• Consideration will be given to crime ‘hot spot’ areas; that is schemes in areas deemed to be higher in crime than other areas within the Island
• Consideration will be given to schemes that address the fear of crime, which must be evidence based
• Funding for the ongoing revenue cost of any scheme must be established for a minimum three year period
• Is this the appropriate crime prevention tool to achieve the desired results

Initial enquires should be made to the Crime and Disorder Team and some assistance will be given to establish some of the points detailed below:

• Show the crime reduction and other benefits the applicant expects to be delivered by CCTV and what crime reduction targets
• Show how the CCTV system will contribute to achieving the current Isle of Wight Crime and Disorder Strategy targets
• Identify the proposed partners in the scheme and the financial or other supporting contribution contributed by each
• Indicate the public consultation undertaken or planned to ensure public support for the scheme

Additional information required if proposal is likely to proceed:

• Camera types; (monochrome/colour; fixed/mobile; dome; pan/tilt/zoom, etc)
• Housings for the cameras detailing arrangements for wash/wipe: heating/de-misting etc.
• Operational parameters of the cameras;
• Specification for all the proposed equipment;
• Type, method and frequency of recording;
• Lighting (in lux) required to produce images appropriate to the purpose of observation and how this will be achieved
