Eyevis UK completes £1m Commonwealth Games project

A Burnley company will help keep visitors and competitors at this year’s Commonwealth Games safe after installing a £1m video wall system in Glasgow’s new CCTV control centre.

They are housed in the brand new, multi-million pound Glasgow Operations Centre (GOC), which has pooled the use of community safety and traffic cameras throughout the city for the first time, providing controllers with access to the entire network of live and recorded CCTV footage.

Eyevis UK managing director Steve Murphy said: “The centre monitors hundreds of CCTV camera images and other important data to provide real time information to the operations personnel, allowing the planning of quicker corrective actions.

“Used on a management level they can also help to provide vast amounts of precise data and information at a glance, which helps in making quick and efficient decisions.”

Steve Murphy added: “I was fortunate to have enjoyed a fantastic five year technical apprenticeship with Michelin, and I am extremely proud that we have been able to bring two young local people, Danny Preston and Sophie Chaney into our business, who have both completed NVQ apprenticeships during the past few years. “We have always used local companies for services whenever we could, such as Cassons for business advice and accountancy and QHS Solutions for health and safety and quality assurance. The latter has been key to us being able to win business and install our systems in a wide range of industries including London Underground, police control centres, nuclear plants and counter terrorism units.”
