CHRIS Tech has beaten a number of non-local firms for a $170,000 contract to install CCTV cameras in Murwillumbah.
The contract will be funded by $70,000 from the Federal Government program promised in 2008, as well as $100,000 from the economic stimulus package.
The proposed closed-circuit television (CCTV) security cameras will cover large parts of the Murwillumbah CBD, including a park, a swimming pool and a car park complex. The CCTV camera system is expected to reduce vandalism and street fights, with the system monitored via a 32 inch LCD monitor at a police station.
According to Chris Tech, it will be using megapixel-rated digital cameras as opposed to the old style standard analogue cameras. The CCTV system will allow better identification and wider angles of view.
Chris Tech is planning to fast-track installation of the cameras, as the CCTV system needs to be installed before September to comply with the economic stimulus measures.
