Contel: keeping high-value cargo safe with CCTV
Fleet safety specialist Contel has explained how investing in vehicle CCTV can prove a proactive means of enhancing security, including for transporters of valuable cargo such as cash in transit.
Not only can CCTV deter potential offenders from causing damage or stealing valuable assets, says Contel, but it can also facilitate a quicker resolution in the aftermath of an incident.
“The cash in transit industry is highly reliant on this technology,” said the company.
“Transporting high value cargo not only poses a risk to the vehicle safety, but drivers’ safety also. Contel Ltd work with some of Europe’s largest operators of cash in transit services and provide them with the latest high specification components such as High-Definition DVRs, along with Daylight HD IP 69K Cameras; the latest evolution in camera design technology providing daytime image quality, even in times of darkness.
“The Contel team were responsible for the first live cellular access Mobile DVR into the UK market in 2009, which is a testament to their vast and unrivalled experience.”
Some of these operators provide ATM cash withdrawal terminals, carrying out more than 15 transactions every second, says the company; therefore, safe, and secure services around the management of cash to these terminals is vital to communities that rely on them.
“The reliability of the on-board security and safety systems is therefore fundamental. Contel provides continuous uptime of data services, allowing these businesses to connect to their vehicle in real time, along with the most advanced and innovative technology, ensuring cash movements are protected.”
Commenting on Contel’s work within the cash in transit industry, managing director Andy Kelly (pictured, right) added: “our team is very experienced and we’re therefore able to work with our customers in a supportive and consultative capacity. They choose Contel because our solutions are reliable and cost effective and our aftersales service is our priority.”
