Turkish arena

by Mark Rowe

The new Vodafone Arena, a multi-purpose stadium, will be the new home of the Beşiktaş Football Club in Istanbul. A video surveillance system has been designed by ENMAR and installed by HEG Building Technologies.

At the heart of the security system are three Geutebruck Expert Servers (G-Scope/8000-IP series), part of the G-Scope video management products. They provide redundancy with flexibility and scalability, the German makers say, with the integrated RAID system. The units are 1-3 U each and feature up to 16 hard disk slots, connection option for more external RAIDS and JBODs and an integrated server operating system. If longer recording periods may be required during the football season the stadium can integrate further storage capacity.

For the time being eight G-VStations accommodate third party cameras, providing an overview of the site. Six of the stations will be used for a huge monitor wall, the other two will support two operators in their daily work. G-VStations are analysis and processing units for networking G-Scope systems. They have pre-installed viewer software and can connect monitors using three interfaces. The devices already have an inbuilt DVD/RW drive to export security relevant images onto DVD media for when video proofs are needed.

Geutebruck’s image protection against tampering is another reasons for choosing its products, the company adds. Also: its capacity of programming customized sitemaps for the graphical user interface after detailed customer specifications. The resulting clear illustration of the site increases the security level and ease of operation, it is claimed. When an incident occurs live streams, alarms or recorded pictures of the G-Scope systems within the network can not only be displayed across multiple monitors but the cameras are highlighted on a map pointing out their geographical position. Alarms can be triggered as well via Winpak, the card access system by Honeywell. It is part of the total security concept and integrated through Geutebruck’s open interfaces. The system itself is monitored centrally at a Security Control Center inside the stadium and will operate for the first time in September 2016.

Berkan Antar, HEG’s project engineer, said: “It is durable, scalable and offers a high level of integration. The Geutebruck brand has played a major role in winning the Vodafone project contract by solving the integration problem and the technical issues. We hope to work together with Geutebruck for a long time.”
