Decision details

In consultation with Cabinet Member for Communications and Communities, consideration has been given to replacing internal building CCTV cameras for Bath and North East Somerset Council owned buildings, updating the Council's current camera estate to a more modern, efficient camera system.
The newer modern cameras will offer high-definition footage & will consume less power, reducing operational costs. The newer cameras will also need fewer repairs compared to outdated equipment and will future proof against technological advancements.
The project will reduce the risk of security and procurement concerns in respect of the council’s reliance on the previous supplier.

To fully approve £356,000 of capital budget, fully funded by Corporate Supported Borrowing

The alternative option is to do nothing. This was not considered an option as would not reduce the Councils reliance on the former provider and replacements will introduce an updated technical solution for the CCTV infrastructure.
This approach offers a robust solution for current needs while remaining adaptable to future technological advancements in the industry
