The Challenge

High-Density Crowd Management – During matches, up to 20,500 spectators require constant monitoring and security teams need real-time situational awareness to prevent incidents.
Complex Video Surveillance Needs – As stadium usage changes, the system must handle seamless camera transitions from routine monitoring to event conditions with higher FPS and multiple streams.
Police cameras must stay separate for compliance but still work within the overall Video Management System.
System Redundancy and Reliability – Servers must guarantee uninterrupted operation during high-profile events.
Access Control Complexity – Multiple zones require differentiated access: employees, players, event staff, and special areas.
The need for instant, accurate alerts from intrusion detection.
Event days demand flexible access while keeping critical zones secure, which is difficult to manage.

The Solutions

Ensure full situational awareness: Security staff can monitor all areas in real time. One interactive interface gives staff real-time control over all 543 cameras.
Capture every critical angle: Event mode increases footage per camera to 12, ensuring coverage of large crowds for safety and incident response.
Support compliance and investigations: A tagging system stores event footage for 30 days (normal mode: 20 days), simplifying audits and incident review.
Maintain legal compliance without disrupting operations: Separate police camera access allows secure monitoring within the same system.

Faster, safer decisions during incidents: Security staff can respond immediately to breaches or emergencies with the integrated interface that provides real-time access status and alarms.
Streamline operations for different users: Tailored modes ensure employees, players, and event staff can access only what they need, reducing errors and confusion.
Office-mode: Simplifies everyday employee access while keeping critical areas secure.
Sports mode: Gives players and staff quick entry to training and locker areas without compromising safety.
Event/match mode: Allows event personnel temporary access during events while keeping sensitive zones protected.
Protect critical stadium zones: In specific zones, access can be granted only to personnel with special rights and intrusions can be detected immediately.

Although the systems were originally installed a few years ago, they continue to provide flexible options for expansion, ensuring that the client can easily adapt to evolving requirements such as NIS2.

Guarantee continuous operation: Four main servers with two redundant servers and automatic backups prevent downtime.
Prevent surveillance gaps during failures: Failover systems switch automatically, maintaining uninterrupted monitoring during critical events.
