A CCTV system complete with Baxall鈥檚 ZMX CT10 multiplexer has been installed by Blick at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club鈥檚 HQ
Spectator safety at the 8,000-seater Royal & SUN Alliance County Ground in Bristol 鈥� home of Gloucestershire County Cricket Club 鈥� has been improved thanks to the installation of a six-camera CCTV system complete with ZMX CT10 multiplexers courtesy of Baxall.

The Baxall multiplexer has been supplied with joystick and keyboard, and is being deployed to display six cameras鈥� images on three separate monitors 鈥� two in the ground鈥檚 Control Room and one located in the Main Reception. During major match days (which can include international day-night fixtures) trained operators are brought in. At all other times, the system is monitored by ground operations manager Peter Hall.

While CCTV is now a prominent feature in football stadiums across the country, its use in cricket grounds is a relatively recent phenomena but, as Hall told SMT, the Baxall system is already providing many benefits.

鈥淔irst and foremost, it鈥檚 a deterrent,鈥� stressed Hall. 鈥淧eople can see the cameras and the highly visible warning signs. If anyone should misbehave or commit an act of criminality inside the ground, we can monitor that and share the information with the local police.鈥�

Hall feels that the system has been successful at least in part because of its simplicity. 鈥淭he ZMX CT10 is very easy to use,鈥� added Hall. 鈥淩ecently, we had to employ a replacement operator at the last minute who wasn鈥檛 familiar with the system. In under an hour he was fully up to speed with its operation.鈥�
