The use of the Panomera camera in the Olympic Stadium in Berlin featured in the October 2011 print issue of Professional Security Magazine. Now more than 60,000 worshippers celebrated mass with the Pope at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium last week.
German CCTV manufacturer Dallmeier’s Panomera multi-sensor system kept an eye on the gathering.

Pope Benedict XVI entered the stadium through the marathon gate. Over 60,000 cheered as the ‘popemobile’ then made its way through the crowd on the blue track. After signing the Golden Book of the City of Berlin, the pontiff celebrated mass with the visitors.
In light of the eminence of the visitor and the throngs of followers in attendance, it is understandable that security in and around the stadium was tight. The CCTV product company reports that the Panomera multi-sensor system allows an overview of the stadium while simultaneously offering top detail resolution.
The system was recently installed and had already proved its capacity during German national football league matches. It is the makers say a solution for large-scale events. For the papal visit as well, Panomera allowed the police an “all-round” view of the entire scene. Panomera’s resolution quality permits details to be recognised even at great distances, it’s claimed. Panomera uses a novel lens and sensor concept that allows objects in the distance to be displayed with the same resolution as objects in the foreground of the picture.
“Panomera is a brand new technology that is unrivalled compared to conventional cameras. It opens up innovative options for the video security sector that could not be realised in the past,” said company founder and CEO Dieter Dallmeier.
