Many clubs in the UK regret installing cameras on their courts.

Yes, you read that right.

And it’s not just one or two.

If you're considering this for your club, you need to read this first.

In just 3 minutes, you can save months of hassle, money, and headaches.

And either way, you will make a much better decision.

Many clubs invest money on the cameras

Hoping it will make their club stand out from the rest

It isn't always achieved

Specifically, I see 3 decisions they regret:

The 3 decisions that make clubs regret installing cameras

Decision 1: AI Analytics and player statistics

Sounds like a great idea, right?

Having an AI analyze your game, count every shot, and tell you where you need to improve.

The reality is that by the third match, players realize their heat map looks pretty much the same as the previous ones.

And counting the exact number of double-sliced backhands doesn't actually add much value to their day.

It's especially painful to see in smaller local community clubs across towns and suburbs.

Paying huge monthly fees per court for that is crazy.

It’s common sense.

Just for the same 4 regular players to ever use it.

Decision 2: Free trial periods and long contracts

Beware of trial periods (free or heavily discounted) for a couple of months before locking into a long contract.

Be careful.

Here is the usual story:

1st During the first month, people use it because it's new and shiny

2nd Assuming it will always be like that, you don't mind signing a long lock-in contract

3rd When the initial hype fades, you are stuck paying every single month

Never tie yourself down with a lock-in contract.

Decision 3: Using CCTV / security cameras

Before going any further, here is a key question you should have asked yourself already:

And now comes the real question:

Do you really think a teenager would record TikToks using a CCTV security camera instead of the latest iPhone??

Well, some camera providers don't seem to realize that.

And neither do quite a few clubs.

If players want to share highlights on social media, it makes no sense to use security cameras to record them.

The image quality is terrible.

The court lines and angles look warped.

There is endless glare and reflection.

All it needs is black-and-white mode to look like CCTV bank robbery footage.

Conclusion:

Many clubs end up regretting the camera systems and services they sign up for.

Again, don't just rely on what people like me tell you.

Talk to other club managers and let them tell you their experience.
