A large scale sporting event in Chile expects a huge influx of people during its games, prompting the implementation of robust security measures in venues, reports Dahua Technology.
The organisers require an efficient and intelligent security system that can manage the entry and exit of spectators, prevent accidents and detect and handle any abnormal situations in time to ensure the safety of all people during the event.
The challenges
The event organisers needed to ensure the safety of the people attending the event, as well as the security of the athletes and staff on the field.
The main challenges encountered:
- Difficult management: There are several competition venues, which require monitoring of both internal and surrounding areas. The monitoring scope is massive and manual monitoring is inefficient, making it difficult to detect abnormalities and handle them in time
- Preventing intrusion and entry of dangerous goods: It is extremely challenging to manually monitor each person entering the venue. The security staff cannot efficiently conduct manual inspections to check people’s items all the time
- Challenging security deployment: Security personnel are scattered at various locations on the site. In the event of an emergency, they will not be able to respond in time
Dahua’s solution
Dahua, together with its local partner, took on the challenge of providing an effective monitoring solution tailored to the sporting event.
- HD PTZ Cameras: By using HD PTZ cameras (e.g. 2MP 25x Starlight IR WizSense Network PTZ Camera), a wide range of high definition real time images are provided via a small number of monitoring points, covering public areas of various venues and significantly improving system deployment efficiency
- Security inspection equipment and various intelligent algorithm applications: Walk-through metal detectors were deployed at entrance and exit areas to help prevent people carrying dangerous items from entering the venues. Several cameras (e.g. 4MP IR Vari-focal Vandal-proof Dome WizMind Network Camera) equipped with intelligent functions such as perimeter protection, preset points tour, etc. were also utilised to help detect intrusions and suspicious individuals in time. Intelligent recognition and alarms help the security personnel to detect high risk individuals and to respond accordingly
- Fully functional Command Centre: All devices are connected to the DSS platform, achieving unified management across multiple venues and facilitating coordination of security personnel across different locations. The Command Centre is equipped with highly efficient monitoring screens, control keyboards and decoding boxes
The results
The company and its local partner successfully deployed an efficient and intelligent security system for such a large scale sporting event.
Dahua’s solution utilises intelligent and efficient scene-based devices such as PTZ cameras and intelligent recognition cameras to achieve full video surveillance coverage, significantly enhancing system deployment efficiency.
With the aid of the Control Centre and intelligent algorithms, abnormalities were accurately detected and the manual workload of security personnel was greatly reduced.
The application of security inspection equipment prevents the entry of dangerous items and ensures the safety and security in the game venues.
Dahua’s solution is a notable example for such scenario and can be applied in other large scale sports events.
Jason Jin, Project Team Member and Product Manager, Dahua Technology commented: “It has been a great honour to be part of this grand sporting event.
“Moving forward, we will continue to develop intelligent products and solutions that can be applied in various types of events to enhance their security and safety, enabling a smarter society and better living.”
