CCTV TECHNOLOGY has been around for a while, as has broadband technology, but it wasn't until recently that both have come together in such a huge way. London is awash with cameras, digitally capturing everything from crime in high people traffic areas to the licence plates of speeding motorists. This has worked tremendously.
Hawkeye Electronic Security Ltd. and Flow have joined together to make that service readily available in Jamaica. This was introduced at a presentation made by Mr. Sean Clacken, Hawkeye's director of sales, on Thursday, July 20, at the Medallion Hall Hotel. "Our CCTV technology allows you to place high definition cameras in most places in Jamaica," he demonstrated, "and view those captured or moving images from anywhere in the world, including your bedroom." He also spoke about its use in the private home security business as well, particularly how it could significantly improve Hawkeye's own service and effectiveness with their clients.
OPENING REMARKS
Minister of Industry, Commerce and Technology, Hon. Phillip Paulwell gave the opening remarks. He congratulated both companies on working together to produce a product which would obviously be of vital service to public and private sector alike. Among the public sector, the constabulary forces and educational institutions were likely to benefit the most. He also spoke of the added benefit of its use in the justice system and the prosecution and identification of criminals.
Hawkeye CEO, Mr. Derrick 'Ricky' Mahfood gave the welcome and director of sales for Flow, Mr. Andrew Fazio, said his company was excited to be a part of something that helped fight crime, petty or violent, in Jamaica.
