FOUR peregrine falcon chicks have successfully fledged in the Medway area thanks to a nest protection project involving Natural England and Kent Police.
The covert surveillance operation was launched following the theft of two chicks from the same location back in 2010.
Last year’s theft was discovered by Natural England’s John Black, a wildlife management adviser who had been made aware of the nest by site workers.
On his arrival, the chicks had gone and only fragments of egg shells remained. The culprits have never been caught.
To prevent any repetition, the police consulted Natural England and installed hidden CCTV cameras to monitor the nest.

Changsha, the capital city of Central China’s Hunan province is going to install 26,000 CCTV cameras in order to improve the current video monitoring system and help police break criminal case.
26,000 cameras will be added to the current video monitoring system, which at present consists of 33,000 public and privately-installed cameras. New cameras will be mainly installed by the roadside, at intersections, along alleyways and in public vehicles.
According to statistics, monitoring cameras have helped police break more than 1200 cases since the video CCTV system started operations four years ago. Regulations will be introduced to standardize the layout, installation, application and maintenance of the cameras.
All of the 12 Citizen Representatives presiding over the hearing supported the policy. Some suggested that breast-feeding rooms, dormitories and other private places should not have cameras installed, in order to protect people’s legal rights to privacy.

While these tips will help to make your home more secure, the ultimate security is obviously a surveillance system. The most basic and perhaps most important system you should have to protect your home is an alarm system, so that if a burglar did actually manage to get into your house everyone will certainly hear about it when the alarm starts to shout.
Alarm sensors should be fitted to all exterior doors and windows. An alarm system should also only be fitted by a professional to ensure that the system is not by-passable by an experienced burglar. Another recommended feature of an alarm system is indoor motion sensors. So if a burglar does happen to delicately breach a door or window without setting off the alarm, then the sensors will absolutely catch them and set the alarm going.
For the indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras, these have several different features depending on brand, wireless digital live video, night vision, network streaming, motion detection, email alerts and so on and on. These act as a major discouragement for burglars, and can also provide evidence of burglary. As well as this, many of the brands also offer 2 way intercom systems with their surveillance systems and cameras from the monitor where the image is viewed to the camera recording the image so you can easily and safely talk to a stranger about their business before answering the door.

After the kidnapping incident of two US citizens in the city on Tuesday, the majority in the city council decided to pass a resolution thanking their party leader, Mayor Celso Lobregat for being open minded, and junked a resolution calling for the expansion of coverage and immediate installation of surveillance cameras to address the peace and order problem in the city.
Aldermen belonging to the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) of Lobregat lauded at first the proposed resolution of Councilor Cesar Jimenez urging Mayor Celso Lobregat to expand the coverage of the surveillance cameras in other strategic areas of the city, but killed the same resolution during the voting.
Instead, the majority councilors approved another resolution authored by Councilor Jimmy Cabato commending and thanking Mayor Lobregat for being open-minded to the idea of expanding the coverage of the surveillance cameras to other strategic areas in the city.
Jimenez said the recent kidnapping incident has again tarnished the image of Zamboanga and efforts to promote tourism have again gone futile, hence there is a need to immediately put up cameras in strategic areas and not only in City Hall, Paseo del Mar, Plaza del Pilar and Pettit Baracks as what the Mayor has long been intending to implement.
Jimenez questioned the majority councilors why they are already thanking the mayor when up to now, the plan to put up the surveillance cameras remain to be just a plan.
The installation of surveillance cameras in strategic areas in the city is being pushed by the minority even during the time of former Vice Mayor Mannix Dalipe. It is recalled that Dalipe caused the installation of surveillance cameras in the city council building before leaving office.

THE Education Department is set to trial surveillance cameras in schools after vandals caused more than $1.2 million worth of damage in the past financial year.
It wants to pilot cameras in schools that suffer repeat vandalism or break-ins.
Planning and infrastructure senior director Leanne Taylor said nearly half (70) of the NT’s 153 public schools incurred some cost as a result of vandalism during 2010-11. Eighty per cent of the vandalism happened in urban centers, she said.
Surveillance cameras have already been installed independently by some school councils, which manage their own systems. In 2010-11, the Education Department shelled out $718,561.16 in repairs for vandalism and break-ins.
Another $500,000 was spent by the Construction Department on damage caused by a fire that police believe was an act of vandalism.
The department would evaluate the pilot to see if it cut vandalism costs before deciding whether more schools should get surveillance cameras installed.

A MAN who helped steal security cameras worth £600 has been given a suspended jail sentence.
Ashley Dunn, aged 21, of Skyrrold Road, Malvern, had already admitted stealing the cameras as well as stealing lager on two occasions from the One Stop Shop in Pickersleigh Road.
But his solicitor Barry Newton urged magistrates to spare his client jail as he wanted to put his past behind him.
Dunn faced charges of stealing after he and another man stole a case of Carling beer and four cans of Stella worth £14.75 in November last year.
He then took 15 cans of Carling worth £9.99.
Then, while drunk and with two other accomplices, he took three security cameras from an address in Malvern.

THE parents of a young woman who was viciously raped on a footbridge in Leytonstone have accused transport bosses of putting other women at risk by refusing to install surveillance camera at the scene.
Their 24-year-old daughter was attacked on the walkway over the A12 by Norman Road in the early hours of a Saturday morning, and police had initially hoped to use security footage to help catch the man responsible.
But it emerged that Transport for London (TfL), which maintains the bridge and is responsible for its security, did not have any cameras in the area.
The family, none of whom can be identified for legal reasons, bombareded TfL with phone calls, emails and letters to raise the issue but it took nearly two months for the organisation to respond.
And when they did, it told the family surveillance camera was not “cost effective”.
The police then since revealed to the parents that another woman was sexually assaulted on the next footbridge along just a month after the rape.
