Should hopefully prevent stock from being stolen from the club shop

Based on the fuzzy picture they put of the fella nicking the shirts in the shop the All Bells & Whistles system they’ve got in the ground didn’t extend to the shop!!!

That's bull.The Ward transfer is worth around £1.5m to us.

By a "big portion" , that implies over half ?

So, what you're implying is we've spent over £750k on a CCTV system.

I think you're scaremongering, and that's coming from someone who's been bitterly critical of the board over the past 12 months

I’m only stating what I was told! Got to see it first hand in the control room & it’s very fancy in fairness! No corner inside the ground isn’t covered!

We've all been told stories that are clearly a crock of shit but the common sense in you stops you repeating it on here.

Stating that we've spent a significant amount of £1.5m on a CCTV system is your choice but it's not very clever in hindsight is it.

Don't know how extensive it is but probably £10-15k on CCTV System. Cameras are pretty cheap these days to what they were years ago and far better.

I'd imagine more like 60-75k to be honest, company I work for in Shropshire spent £40,000 last year on a 10,000metre square warehouse, 42 Wide Angle cameras at 1080p Res, including software and hardware support contracts (Those were £5k alone), network switches to supply PoE (Another £1000) and only 6 are Night Vision enabled, I imagine the club would have a lot more (Covering entrance/exits, night vision, probably remote monitoring, so forth)

If MrP had said 'We used a lot of the first installment of 200k on CCTV' then I wouldnt be at all surprised if that was true given figures above. Assuming what he says is actually true anyway.

They've been able to do that for years, I went in there with my son years ago when he was mascot and got the tour, the cctv then could pick faces out of the crowd anywhere in the ground.

And even if it has been upgraded I doubt it cost hundreds of thousands of pounds

2015 the cost of upgrading the cctv for wrexham and putting wifi into hotspots was put at 400k. Now I know that's 4 years ago but it isn't going to cost a fraction of that for the racecourse.
