Biffa Municipal has installed the latest CCTV hard disk recording technology and remote wi-fi download system to more than 50 refuse vehicles operating in Crawley, South Buckinghamshire and Epping Forest.

David Maidman, operations director at Biffa, said: 'Our primary reason for using camera recording systems is for health and safety. We use the information we gain from the cameras to monitor and supervise best practice, as well as for staff training and monitoring trends.

'The quality of the hardware and the usability of the software is excellent and we like the fact that the product is manufactured here in the UK.'

Biffa is also currently trialling the Cyclear cyclist Warning Display System from ISS with a view to considering installing the technology onto vehicles going forward.
