We will train operators who are required to sit in front of a bank of up to 15 screens, constantly monitoring the live pictures that come in from the surveillance cameras. This will involve operating the position of the cameras, for example if a cash machine is about to be emptied, you would focus the camera on the security guard monitoring anyone acting suspiciously, and alerting security staff or police if you see an act of theft, vandalism or any other crime. Monitoring cleaning staff working in large empty buildings for their safety and notifying the police of any anti-social behaviour, keeping a log of all incidents to pass onto police.
This might also involve teaching basic graphics manipulation to security personnel to be able to operate computer based surveillance equipment.
