A mobile CCTV unit will be used to cut crime in an East Sussex resort.
A Transit van with three digital cameras will go to crime hot spots in Hastings.
A similar unit proved to be so successful in Thanet that Hastings Borough Council allocated money from the Neighbourhood Renewal fund to buy its own.
The unit should be operational by early summer.
Trevor Webb, borough council Cabinet member responsible for community, said: "This unit will undoubtedly have a marked effect on crime because you can take it to the trouble spots.
"The police, street wardens and community wardens will all have access to the unit and I hope that, like Thanet, its use will result in a drop in anti-social behaviour and crime."
