For the summer 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, two of the venues, the 45,000 capacity Rostov Arena and the 35,000 capacity Kaliningrad Stadium, had an upgrade using IDIS surveillance products.
A total of 3000 IP cameras were fitted, comprising full HD and H.265 models and PTZ cameras featuring Smart UX Controls v2.0, besides full HD, wide dynamic range (WDR), IR bullet cameras and full HD box cameras. All external cameras were the makers say equipped to withstand Russia’s often harsh weather.
A centralised surveillance monitoring centre using an IDIS 55-inch video wall delivered command and control of the stadiums and allowed security staff to access 60 days of archived footage from 50 remote IDIS DR-8364 network recorders (NVRs) in place at situational centres.
IDIS Critical Failover was installed, to prevent loss of vital recorded data. The system automatically steps in to continue recording in the event of network instability, network failure, storage failure, recorder hardware failure and power supply failure, in each case ensuring that no data is lost.
Joon Jun, President of the Global Business Division of IDIS, said: “The IDIS surveillance system, installed inside and around the stadium gave security controllers a complete overview of the site and perimeter fences. Our advanced technology helped to ensure safety and security by preventing unauthorised intrusion. We are proud that our brand credibility and product stability has been recognised on the global stage at an event which was the focus of world attention. To safeguard thousands of visitors at these key venues, it was essential to use the most reliable technology including high-resolution surveillance cameras with waterproof and dustproof functions and a solution that prevented data loss in the event of network instability.”
