Dedicated Micros: CCTV for Manchester City Football Club. Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) has adopted the latest Netvu Connected Digital Sprite 2 (DS2) DVRs from Dedicated Micros – part of AD Group – for a new CCTV solution delivered by G4S Security Systems (UK) at the allseater City of Manchester Stadium.

An inherited system of 59 CCTV cameras linked to analogue multiplexers and video recorders was beginning to show the strain.

Peter Fletcher, MCFC‘s Stadium and Safety Manager, summarised the problem: “We may have been a state-of-the-art stadium but our CCTV system was clearly behind the times, still operating on outdated analogue videotape technology and unable even to record 24/7 – a key requirement for us.”

The new system incorporates 6Tb of hard disk capacity. The plug and play increase in storage capacity has allowed the club’s security team to enhance the record rate on the DVRs, add cameras without the worry of reaching maximum capacity and reduce the frequency of off-line archiving.
