Effective crowd control is a necessity at such events and SEC has designed the systems using Pelco equipment at two of this year’s highest profile events – the Epsom Derby and the Chelsea Flower Show, opened by HRH The Queen.
The security measures at these events incorporated a multi camera CCTV system using Pelco DX8000 with a wireless LAN network linked to a hand held HP2100 PDA for operation within the site compound.
The installer used 31 cameras at the Chelsea Flower Show including 14 domes linked to a DX8000.
The equipment was then used by Surrey Police at the Derby linked to a 16 dome camera system. Police commanders could access the CCTV on the hand held PDA anywhere within the control compound.
Pelco teamed up with Norbain to host a Golf Day at Sands Martins Golf Course. Wokingham, Bedfordshire, where players represented CCTV installers from all over the UK. Winner of the Stableford Competition was Garry Clayson from Nu-Cam Systems, winner of the Longest Drive was Tony Riding of Renard Systems and Nearest the Pin winner was Dave Lock, also of Renard.
