CCTV
There shall be a CCTV system that complies with the Cheshire Constabulary CCTV Operational Requirements document (attached) and the images shall be made available on request to the police for crime prevention and detection purposes.
Digital Recording CCTV systems record images onto a computer hard-drive.

The software required for viewing proprietary recorded formats must also be made available to the investigating officer, together with the recorded images so that the images can be replayed on a standard windows operating system. It is therefore advisable that any replay software required is automatically copied onto the WORM recording to enable the correct viewing of the file.
