Hartlepool Borough Council CCTV service

CCTV control room

We operate a CCTV control room that monitors public space CCTV cameras across the borough.

The system is owned, managed, and operated by us. Cameras are installed in areas including:

  • the town centre (daytime and night-time economy areas)
  • shopping parades
  • public buildings
  • council car parks and parks
  • children’s play areas
  • residential streets
  • industrial estates
  • vulnerable or high-crime locations

CCTV cameras operate 24 hours a day. Footage is recorded and retained for 31 days, after which it is automatically overwritten.
