Powered by Excelerate’s Exstream video streaming connectivity technology, which allows multiple CCTV streams to be shared securely via the Milestone video stream sharing platform, this upgrade further enhances situational awareness, most notably at pre-planned and spontaneous events.

The Predator Ultra Cameras are equipped with SONY STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS image sensor technology and an optional ULTRA sensor technology and offer exceptional low light performance and the ability to operate at night.

“We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with South Wales Police. We worked with them in the summer of 2022 to equip the five CCTV vans, and now this upgrade to the Predator Ultra Cameras represents huge progress in enabling them greater situational awareness and surveillance, with failsafe ubiquitous connectivity via our Exstream video streaming technology,” said Callum Farrell, Excelerate sales manager. “Capturing live footage of incidents is becoming more vital to police forces, even in areas poorly served by terrestrial or cellular connectivity, or indeed when that connectivity has been severely compromised. These new cameras, twinned with our robust connectivity solutions, means that South Wales Police will leave no stone unturned when it comes to guaranteed live streaming.”

“This strategic upgrade signifies a significant advancement in the force's commitment to community safety and effective policing. These vehicles play a crucial role in keeping our force colleagues connected in planned and pre-planned events such as event security, local surveillance, and combating anti-social behaviour across the region. From monitoring sporting events to combating crime in towns and cities, these vehicles provide us with the versatility to meet our surveillance needs day or night,” said sergeant Chris Lawrence, digital service division.
