Dedicated Micros: US Water Authority uses their CCTV. The Western Virginia Water Authority, which provides a water service to 155,000 customers in Roanoke and Roanoke County, has adopted a Netvu Connected CCTV solution based around Dedicated Micros surveillance technology.

Since the events of 9/11, water authorities across the US have been dutybound to re-examine whether critical assets, such as dams, reservoirs, and water treatment facilities, are secure against threats.

The Western Virginia Water Authority which oversees assets, including four reservoirs and water treatment plants; two waste water treatment plants; 30-40 water storage tanks; 20-30 wells and pump stations; was looking for a digital CCTV solution that would support their existing analog cameras, but also utilise new technologies such as Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity and high-quality digital recording.
