UK-based of traffic enforcement and management technology supplier Videalert has introduced a new civil enforcement as a service (CEaaS) solution, which provides the ability to purchase on-demand CCTV traffic services with installations taking place in days rather than months.

Using the company’s hosted platform, CEaaS allows councils to alter the process of specifying, procuring and deploying CCTV-based enforcement systems.

The new solution offers a cost-effective and secure CCTV enforcement solution that allows councils to quickly and easily introduce unattended operations to improve productivity and efficiency.

The company said that CEaaS eliminates the need to undertake major procurement exercises, as well as the projects to install hardware and software.

Available for a fixed monthly cost for each location or on a fee-per-penalty charge notice (PCN) basis, CEaaS is delivered as a fully managed service.

"CEaaS eliminates the need to undertake major procurement exercises, as well as the projects to install hardware and software."

The service includes the planning, supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance of all necessary on-street equipment with the latest digital cameras and related communications connectivity.

It also allows the equipment to be moved and relocated as required and, at the end of any agreed CEaaS term, it can continue in place or be removed as part of the service.

With this new solution, councils can now rapidly deploy enforcement of a wide range of moving traffic offences, including banned turns, yellow box junctions, bus lanes, weight limits and vehicle-restricted access areas.

CEaaS also provides a cost-effective solution to enforce parking offences on keep clears outside schools, one of the exemptions provided in the recent UK Deregulation Bill.

With the help of this solution, evidence packs can be remotely reviewed and processed by council staff using standard web browsers, before confirmed offences are sent to the council’s PCN back office system.

If there is no PCN Back office in place, the company can extend CEaaS to include the review and approval of evidence packs by fully trained CEOs and the despatch of PCNs to registered owners of vehicles.
