CCTVware digital recording technology from Loronix Information Systems is playing an integral part in a multi-million pound CCTV installation at Birmingham New Street station – one of the busiest railway 'hubs' in the UK.

The installation (completed by Cheshunt-based system house Fourway Communication) comprises some 250 cameras of varying kinds mounted at strategic points around the site and the surrounding area.

Images from the cameras are transmitted and digitally recorded onto CD using Loronix CCTVware, 24 hours a day at one frame per second and are kept for 31 days before automatically being rewritten. All information can be accessed via a standard PC.
