Samsung DVRs to record video of crowd activity during match days
The Kia Oval in South London regularly hosts international cricket matches, as well as being the home of Surrey County Cricket Club. It is understandably determined to maintain its reputation for being a safe and secure environment for its visitors and staff.
Four Samsung SRD-1670DC DVR’s have been installed to collectively record the video captured by 54 cameras, a mixture of PTZ and fixed dome cameras which are located in and around the cricket ground.
“It is essential we have a reliable and robust CCTV system operating at the Kia Oval in order to ensure that we comply with the rules and regulations specified by the Local Authority and that a match day licence can be issued,” said James Wagg of OCS Group UK Ltd, who are contracted to provide 24/7 security at the cricket ground. “The video surveillance system is at the heart of our security operation. It is an invaluable tool which allows our control room operators and the police, who are present on match days, to proactively use live or recorded images to identify potential problems and deal with them quickly and efficiently.”
