The Public Order Surveillance Vehicle, also known as the 'Hoolivan', is one of three on trial with police forces around the UK. It offers the technology to watch and record with high definition photography and video in daylight and in the dark. The team try it out on the streets of Ipswich, Suffolk ahead of a football match. Andy Ford, Home Office scientist, is interviewed as the van siren sounds - it is intended to be conspicuous as a deterrent.

Inside the football ground, an Evidence Gathering Camera is demonstrated. This too will record day and night scenes in high definition. Chief Superintendent Terry Lambert of Suffolk Police says the images can be accepted as evidence in court, though this evening event was just an experiment. The Anglia Television camera is worth about £28,000 - its night images are compared with the remarkable images from the Hoolivan camera.

The reporter was Gerry Harrison for this video, made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television's early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.
