Town centre gets CCTV upgrade

Baxall has supplied a range of control equipment to Street Cam for installation in Ellesmere Port and Neston town centres in Cheshire, UK, as part of a major upgrade.

The town centre CCTV system was originally installed in 1995, but wear and tear of VCRs and cameras, combined with the Council's desire to upgrade to the latest equipment available, has led to the decision to refurbish the system. The installation of Baxall's Pyramid - a matrix switching system specifically designed for medium-to-large-sized applications such as town centres - is the first port of call.

Pyramid links all the camera inputs (seven in Neston and 25 in Ellesmere Port) and monitor outputs, allowing any camera to be held and sequenced on any monitor. Control of the Pyramid matrix is obtained through the use of Baxall ZKX keyboards which have been ergonomically designed for ease of use by the operator and feature an LCD display for instant camera/monitor identification.

All images are fed back to a monitoring station operated by the Council 24 h/day in Ellesmere Port police station.

The installation of the Pyramid system is the first part of the upgrade which will take place over the next five years.
