Burnley-based video wall experts Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) have partnered with high-performance IT solutions provider Bedroq to complete control room installations for a UK police regional crime unit spanning five force areas.

 The control rooms are based across multiple sites, which can’t be identified for security reasons, and comprise five video walls using a total of 43 LCD video wall displays, ranging from 46-inch to 55-inch and controlled by UVS Lucidity WBC90 controllers with Lucidity software and touch panels.

 The project, which also included additional displays in multiple operation rooms, provides 24/7 operation in mission critical settings.

 Bedroq provide secure, resilient networks, and managed IT solutions for police forces, critical national infrastructure, and other customers across the UK where high performance is critical.

 UVS specialise in control room installations at prisons and other high-security establishments.

 Mike Cummins, senior technical architect at Bedroq, said: “We chose to partner with UVS because of their phenomenal reputation and vast experience within the law enforcement sector."

“Their tried and tested solutions have enabled police forces nationally and internationally to visualise important data and video information in mission critical environments.”

UVS and Bedroq worked closely throughout the tender process, using product demonstrations, technical evaluations, and site surveys.

 They are also working together as partners on a number of other UK police and government projects with equally complex and sensitive requirements.

Mike Cummins added: “Our customer base is mission critical, 24/7 operational organisations working on sensitive material and operations of national security.”

“Lucidity is a rock-solid platform built on tried and tested technologies and backed by an extensively knowledgeable team.”

Steve Murphy, UVS managing director, said: “Bedroq’s customers demand the highest in security capability as well as flexible integration and feature rich functionality, and we are delighted to be working with them on projects which ultimately help to protect people and property across the country.”

“Lucidity is designed with simplicity and ease of use for the customer in mind and we have had lots of positive feedback from operators who find it intuitive to use, particularly in those high-pressure situations where every second counts.”

It comes after Lancashire Business View reported in January that a wall installed by Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) at a major transport hub in the Midlands was approaching 50,000 hours of continuous 24/7 operation.

 UVS supplied and installed all equipment via its systems integrator partner TIS, which specialises in driving digital transformation and integration across the life safety, security and communications industry.  

 The Transport for West Midlands Regional Transport Coordination Centre (RTCC) in Birmingham uses live data feeds and CCTV to monitor the transport network.
