Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 20 January 2026


Dear *********
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REFERENCE FOI/7087.

Thank you for your request for information relating to CCTV cameras:

1. 
Please can you tell me how many CCTV cameras the local authority operates and how many of these are produced by Chinese companies. Please can you show this as two figures.

See table below.

Nottinghamshire County Council does not keep records regarding the countries that CCTV system manufacturers are based in. FOI legislation does not oblige authorities to conduct research or create new information. However, we can disclose details of which companies our camera systems have been purchased from, where the manufacturer’s name is on record, in order for you to check for yourself.

2. Please also provide the total number of the council’s CCTV cameras that use either live or retrospective facial recognition and how many of these are produced by Chinese companies.

There are no cameras in use by the Council that use facial recognition.

We trust this now satisfies your request and that you find this information to be helpful.
