SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park have unified their physical security operations using Genetec Security Center.
Home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, SoFi Stadium is a premier sports and entertainment destination located at Hollywood Park, established as a world-class venue which hosts record-breaking events.
Genetec Security Center deployment
According to Genetec, Security Center unifies surveillance, access control, ALPR as well as a range of other physical security systems in the 3.1 million-square-foot venue and across the 300-acre Hollywood Park development.
Operators manage more than 3,000 cameras, 700 readers and numerous other systems and sensors from three security control rooms – helping teams maintain situational awareness while streamlining day-to-day operations.
“Genetec Security Center has improved our response time efficiency by giving us all the information we need in one platform. We’re able to understand what’s happening and make decisions quickly,” said Nick Bermensolo, VP, Security and Safety, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park.
Since deploying Security Center, the SoFi Stadium IT team has a reliable, scalable and cybersecure platform that runs on an isolated network and connects back to centralised servers.
During big events, they support operations by monitoring system performance from the Network Operations Center.
“Reliable and cybersecure”
“The Genetec team doesn’t just understand physical security systems, but IT systems too,” said Paul Maldonado, VP, IT Infrastructure and Operations, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park.
“With their help, we’ve been able to deploy a reliable and high-performing security platform at scale. Genetec has really helped us establish a technology standard.
“Security Center is reliable and cybersecure, integrates well with our network and reduces overhead for both IT and security. That’s the type of technology we want to continue implementing across our business.”
