Any event involving large crowds is a potential target for criminal activity. Sporting events are a prime example. Authorities must take great lengths to make sure such events are safe, that crowds remain in check, and that any threat of a large-scale disturbance such as terrorism is thwarted. Video surveillance is an invaluable tool in helping to ensure the safety of the fans, players, employees, and the facilities themselves.

Benefits of a Montel Technologies Video Surveillance Solution for Stadiums & Venues:

• Easy installation
  Outfitting a facility with an IP (Internet Protocol) video surveillance system allows for easy installation and integration. Cameras can be mounted anywhere throughout the complex and communicate through an IP network.
• Ensure safe entry and exit
  The sheer volume of people at sporting events and concerts can cause uncomfortable scenes while entering and exiting the facility. Security cameras can monitor high traffic areas ensuring safe and smooth passage.
• Crowd control
  Emotions can get heated during an event. Surveillance cameras can monitor the stands for fights and disturbances amongst the masses.
• Protect the players and performers
  Players and entertainers are at risk as well. There exists a threat of thrown objects and physical attacks from those in the stands to those on the playing field. Video surveillance can pick up on such activity alerting security to the scene before a situation gets out of hand.
• Prevent acts of terrorism
  Large-scale sporting events or concert events can be seen by many as potential targets for terrorism. Surveillance cameras can be used to recognize potential terrorists. The Superbowl uses video analytics, like facial recognition, to scour the crowds for known felons.
• Remote access
  An IP surveillance system with an NVR (network video recorder) allows video streams to be sent over the internet. Security workers can monitor footage and control cameras remotely from any computer with Internet access.
