Public CCTV
Community Safety at North Ayrshire Council has a network of public CCTV cameras located throughout North Ayrshire.
The cameras:
- enhance public confidence by preventing crime
- can be used to provide evidence in the event of a crime occurring
The location of these cameras are reviewed by Police Scotland and other services within the region, taking crime and incident levels into account.
We work in partnership with Police Scotland and council services.
CCTV cameras are monitored at all times from the CCTV control room purpose built within the Fullerton Concierge Station. This is staffed by fully trained employees.
CCTV camera images
Public CCTV images are recorded by the council for:
- the protection of the public
- the safety and security of council staff and council property

Concierge satisfaction surveys
