OREANDA-NEWS. September 19, 2012. In September, the Palanga Town Municipality Administration signed a contract with TEO LT, AB, the largest provider of integrated telecommunication, IT and television services in Lithuania, for the installation of a video surveillance system and the provision of data communication services. The total value of the three-year contract is about LTL 250 thousand.

 
According to the contract, by the beginning of November TEO will install 15 high-definition CCTV cameras that will help police officers ensure security in the town by monitoring the main streets of Palanga from the headquarters of the police commissariat. Cameras will be installed in J.Basanaviciaus, Vytauto, Kretingos, S.Dariaus ir S.Girлno streets, Meiles aleja, Virbalishkes takas, approaches to the Palanga pier, and other places most frequented by holidaymakers.

 
The CCTV cameras installed in Palanga will operate 24 hours a day; they will turn round on their axes and record views around them. A control center for controlling CCTV cameras will be set up at the headquarters of the Palanga police commissariat. There will be video surveillance monitors, CCTV control panels, archive revision, video record processing and storage systems.


According to Akvile Kilijoniene, Director of the Palanga Town Municipality Administration, the remote video surveillance system will allow local residents and guests of the resort town to feel much safer. "Responses from the heads of other towns and police officers evidencing the effectiveness of such security measures were also important when choosing this solution", - A.Kilijoniene said.


By using TEO technical solutions, police officers protect the peace of residents in almost twenty cities and towns of Lithuania. TEO has installed the most extensive video surveillance systems in Visaginas – the town has 75 CCTV cameras, and in Druskininkai, where there are 34 CCTV cameras.
