At the 2014 FIFA World Cup, IP video was deployed so that staff from the Local Organising Committee (LOC) in Rio de Janeiro could monitor all 12 FIFA World Cup Stadiums from their control room.
IndigoVision products were also deployed in the regional control room in each of the 12 host cities with two master control rooms, which were developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice’s Special Law Enforcement Secretary specifically to support major events. This meant that every single security camera used for Brazil 2014 could potentially be monitored from any control room, in any city.
IndigoVision report that they have experience in this field having provided products for the South African and German World Cups and five Olympic Games.
Lopez Martin, IndigoVision’s Regional Director for Latin America, said: “Integrating the various stadiums’ existing systems is a major requirement. Often stadiums have their own security systems; security cameras, intrusion detection, fire alarm systems, perimeter detection. To simply replace them all would be impractical and expensive. The open nature of IndigoVision’s solution means it’s easy to integrate and manage these systems in a single security solution, making operator response faster, reducing installation time and lowering project cost. However, the greatest benefits of IndigoVision’s solution may be yet to come, as the highly scalable nature of IndigoVision’s solution will allow it to grow and adapt as the users’ needs change after the world cup.”
IndigoVision CEO Marcus Kneen adds: “Regeneration is an important issue for any major event like this. The great thing about our solution is that it so easy to scale and reconfigure as the use of the facilities changes. For example, after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Stuttgart expanded the solution used for the tournament to monitor all transport routes within a 30km radius of the stadium. It’s really rewarding to think that the people of Brazil will still be able to benefit from IndigoVision’s solution long after the World Cup has ended.”
