Copa Telmex is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in Latin America and is an ATP World Tour 250 series event. The competition is staged every year on clay courts at the 5,500 capacity Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club located in the Palermo area of Argentina’s capital.
IndigoVision says: “IP video is an ideal CCTV solution for events of this type, where high-quality surveillance has to be quickly and cost-effectively installed just for the duration of the tournament.”
The IP network was provided by Copa Telmex, the event’s sponsors, and the IP video system was installed by IndigoVision’s local partners Logicalis and Isikawa Electronica.
“In the past the tennis club used analogue and DVR CCTV systems to provide surveillance coverage for the annual event,” explained Diego Lorenzo, international relations manager for Logicalis.
“Using IndigoVision’s system significantly simplified installation and provided the organisers with a more flexible solution that delivered far superior video quality.”
The event’s security team used Control Center, IndigoVision’s security management software, to view live and recorded video throughout the tournament.
Control Center also provided the security team with a set of utilities for searching and analysing recorded video, allowing the operators to quickly respond to an incident. Evidential quality video could be exported for use by the police in the event of criminal activity.
Video from all cameras during the event was recorded on an IndigoVision Windows-based Network Video Recorder with 500GB of storage.
