The CCTV gear is being used for security and crowd management in and around the grounds and their associated retail and entertainment facilities. The hybrid systems installed in the 40,000-seater St Jakob stadium in Basle and in the 30,000-seater Letzigrund stadium in Zurich both integrate existing analogue cameras with new IP and megapixel ones, digital recording and virtual matrices, and are designed to provide flexibility, high functionality and efficiency.
The new installations allow staff to display live pictures on multiple screens, take individual portraits for identity purposes, and archive a whole match at the touch of a button.
The systems monitor themselves with built-in diagnostics and alarm systems, and use very little bandwidth because dynamic live streaming ensures that data streams only flow through the network when pictures are actually needed.
