Sony CCTV First for Newcastle City Council

Universal Systems Solutions, a security integrator from North East England, has been commissioned by Newcastle City Council to install the world's first Sony ultra-HD 4K CCTV camera at the Newcastle Rugby World Cup 2015 Fanzone in the city's Science Central development.

Universal Systems Solutions, a North East Security Integrator, has been commissioned by Newcastle City Council to install a Sony ultra-HD 4K camera to provide CCTV coverage of the Fanzone at Newcastle's Science Central. Newcastle City Council is the first organisation in the world to have installed this cutting-edge, revolutionary technology.

4K cameras provide better, higher quality coverage with fewer cameras. The installation at the Fanzone is part of an ongoing working relationship between Universal Systems Solutions and Newcastle City Council and has been commissioned to assist in managing public safety at the Science Central site, which has a capacity of 10,000. In addition, Universal Systems Solutions have provided two Rapid Deployment wireless CCTV cameras.

Working for both public sector and private sector companies, Universal Systems Solutions specialise in security and IT systems, including IT for schools, connectivity and CCTV design and maintenance. Their client base includes Cameron Hall Developments, Port of Tyne, Nissan UK, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue, several educational organisations and numerous oil and gas businesses across the North East of England.

Kevin Bruce, Director of Universal Systems Solutions, stated: "We are thrilled to have negotiated the first ever installation of Sony 4K cameras as part of our ongoing work with Newcastle City Council. The state-of-the-art technology we are using to cover the site will help in ensuring that public safety is of the highest levels during busy periods."

Paul Angus, Community Safety Officer at Newcastle City Council commented: "It's great to have Universal Systems Solutions as a North East based company providing support and safety to the Rugby World Cup Fanzone at such a busy time. We believe this latest, revolutionary technology, provided by Sony, will really help to improve safety and everyone's overall experience of the Fanzone and are excited to be the first organisation to utilise it."

Operating at the forefront of IP CCTV, Universal Systems Solutions has been awarded Gold Partner status by Sony Europe - the highest accolade available by the Japanese multinational. Additionally, they hold Platinum Partner status with Milestone Systems and are a Silver Partner with Microsoft.

Universal Systems Solutions will be showcasing these state-of-the-art Sony technologies used at the Newcastle Rugby World Cup Fanzone, and others, at its forthcoming Smarter Sharper Surveillance seminar at St James' Park on 12 November 2015.
