Incidents are being missed and evidence lost because of technical problems with Dunedin's ratepayer-funded CCTV system.

Police are backing a tendered closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) network as a means to combat growing late-night violent crime in Queenstown's central business district.

New CCTV cameras in the Octagon are making their mark on criminal behaviour, new figures show, with offenders identified on camera making their way through the court system.

Some minor technical issues with Dunedin's new CCTV system have not affected its operation, authorities say.

Dunedin's new CCTV cameras, officially switched on yesterday, have already proved their worth.

CCTV in Dunedin may be online sooner than initially planned.

Big Brother's watchful eye could turn on the volunteers monitoring 14 new CCTV cameras in Dunedin's Octagon if they abuse guidelines governing the cameras' use.

Contractors will have installed 14 CCTV cameras in Dunedin's Octagon by the end of next week.

Perceived delays in establishing closed circuit TV cameras in the centre of Queenstown have been criticised by Chamber of Commerce chairman Alastair Porter.

From November, activities in the Octagon will be screened live in the Dunedin Central police station watch house, on closed-circuit television.
