Vision-Box has announced it has deployed its innovative video surveillance system at Brazil’s Arena Castelão Stadium in Fortaleza that will allow monitoring and control of the entire arena and surrounding area. The solution included the installation of over 250 IP surveillance cameras, distributed throughout the arena, operated by the authorities through the Vision-Box Video Management System SentrySpider, with integration to the Building Management System (BMS) and the Ticketing Access Control to better track supporters. The solution is fully compliant with the official FIFA requirements for World Cup stadiums. The video surveillance solution, states the company, will ensure the safety of not only the supporters but also the security of existing equipment. In order to guarantee the safety of all VIPs that will attend the World Cup games, a priority corridor was defined for a better and more efficient monitoring of this particular group. Additionally, whenever a supporter enters the arena, its ticket will be indexed with a picture taken by the surveillance system deployed by Vision-Boxto ease the identification of people if needed, using Vision-Box facial recognition technology Facelink. The project fits into Vision-Box’s ‘think crowd’ framework.
