The international sports venue upgraded from an analogue surveillance system to the Avigilon HD surveillance system, including 11 Avigilon cameras ranging from four to 16 megapixels.
Security officials manage the system using Avigilon Control Center network video management software. Canberra Stadium sldo uises the facial and number plate recognition capabilities of the system to achieve positive identification, even at night.
“I have total faith that the Avigilon HD surveillance system can deliver the image quality and facial and licence plate recognition capabilities required to assist police with criminal investigations,” said James Kiwi, events and operations manager for the Territory Venues and Events Enterprises Services Division of the Australian Department of Territory and Municipal Services.
Cost-savings
Avigilon says the 28,000-seat stadium has “achieved significant cost-savings” since the system was installed.
“For example, the venue now requires 10 to 15 percent less personnel to monitor protected areas during events – a cost savings of about $22,500 each year,” Avigilon says.
“The stadium has also been able to deploy fewer cameras because of the power, image clarity, and performance of its two Avigilon 16 megapixel cameras – a total cost savings of between $20,000 – $40,000.”
