Trowbridge Town Council has completed an upgrade of the town’s CCTV network, upgrading all remaining analogue cameras to state-of-the-art digital High-Definition (HD) technology. This investment modernises the town’s public safety infrastructure, providing enhanced picture resolution, improved low-light performance, and expanded operational coverage across high-footfall areas, public parks, and key pedestrian routes throughout Trowbridge. The primary focus of the upgraded system is to proactively deter crime and anti-social behaviour, assist law enforcement with clear evidence to help solve incidents, and ensure that members of the public feel safe and supported in Trowbridge. To ensure maximum efficiency and oversight, the entire surveillance network is operated and monitored by trained, fully qualified staff working in accordance with professional standards. ‘’Investing in the completion of Trowbridge’s modern digital CCTV network marks a major step forward for community safety. By deploying state-of-the-art cameras alongside fully certified operators, we are providing the heightened protection and peace of mind our residents, workers, and visitors deserve.” — Trowbridge Town Council Spokesperson
