Queen's Award win for TransVu mobile CCTV system
Leading edge CCTV manufacturer AD Group - the parent company of Traffic Safety Systems - has received the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, in the Innovation category, for its advanced TransVu system which is helping to tackle crime on the move.
The compact TransVu is a sophisticated multi-camera digital CCTV recorder, which can be fitted to a wide range of police and surveillance vehicles as well as trains, buses and taxis.
Its key features are the robust construction and high quality images, coupled with functionality and camera controls designed specifically for mobile security and surveillance operations.
TransVu has already been applied with impressive results in a wide range of worldwide applications, including an award winning railway project where it was able to dramatically reduce vandalism on trains for Netherlands Railways.
Another example of TransVu in action is helping to trap car thieves as part of a new Covert Capture Car initiative launched by Avon and Somerset Constabulary in the Bristol area, with the message that the next car that criminals break into could be a police car.
Large bus operators have also been able to use TransVu to identify fraudulent compensation claims, with an internal inertia circuit constantly logging acceleration, braking and turning of the vehicle providing a vital audit trail should the vehicle be involved in an accident.
To underline its ruggedness in a harsh environment, TransVu even made an appearance at last year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, where it was fitted to an MG Lola EX264 racing car which won the LMP2 class.
Said AD Group’s CEO Mike Newton: "The Queen’s Award is a great honour for AD Group and we are particularly delighted that it reflects our position as a real pioneer in the CCTV industry. Our business thrives by being ahead of the competition; when we innovate - with TransVu being a prime example - it’s not simply by adding a bell or whistle to a box but by introducing something genuinely new."
