CCTV Coverage

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide information on the following:

i) The number of CCTV cameras installed in public areas which are
controlled, monitored or operated by City and County of Swansea and
the general capability of those cameras (i.e resolution, frames per
second, remote movement/focus control, infra-red
capabilities,viable range).

ii) How many staff are involved in the monitoring of the CCTV
feeds.

iii) If any of the Council's monitoring provisions include audio
capabilities.

iv) The location/address of the Council's main monitoring station.

v) If there is a database or list of locations of installed
cameras.

vi) If (v) exists does it contain information on the capabilities
of those cameras (i.e. resolution, frames per second and infra-red
capabilities) or the direction / target of those cameras.

vii) If (v) is true, for a copy of said database to be supplied.

viii) What is the data retention time of the images recorded.

ix) Is there any ancillary equipment being used that can
automatically track a single individual between cameras, or
automatically detect an individual within a number of camera feeds
based on a previous facial image (e.g. neural net software).

x) If the CCTV scheme is subcontracted, the names of the companies
subcontracted to and the approximate annual costs paid.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Louisa Herbs
