Envisages SentryScope 21 mega pixel camera together with Secura Systems and the Police of Rotterdam have successfully operated a security concept for crime prevention at major events.
Security and safety inside and around football stadiums is often talked about during World Cup or European Championships but should also surely be discussed during national football matches. The Police in Rotterdam-Rijnmond have successfully operated two projects for the highly explosive finals between Feyenoord Rotterdam and Ajax Amsterdam. The SentryScope 21 Megapixel camera has been used along with wireless equipment . The Police of Rotterdam decided to go with our European distributor Secura Systems due to the immediate availability and the unique technology used, and stated 'Secura Systems worked straightforward and very quickly. They did a great job. It is quite unusual that within two days a company can install and operate such a complex system. There were more than 10km of wireless connections throughout the city with a constant bandwidth of approximately 45 Mbps. This combined with the unrivalled technology of the SentryScope 21 Megapixel cameras we were able to observe the whole scenery in front of the stadium and the city hall at all times with only two cameras. We're talking about 35,000 m² each, or to stick to football, approximately 5 times the size of a football field'. Paul André de Jong, managing director of Secura Systems GmbH stated 'To accept challenges and to master them is the base of our daily work. It's great fun to combine different products for projects such as this to generate an efficient solution. The co-operation with the responsible people from the police was excellent and highly professional.
The Police of Rotterdam-Rijnmond lead when it comes to employing new technologies. More than 500 cameras are deployed in and around the city, and are analysed in the central monitoring stations. From here the police can also access more than 3,000 cameras installed in public transport. A new feature used during the game Feyenoord vs. Ajax was a lip-reading device to see instantly if people were chanting anti-Semitic paroles or other banned texts. Furthermore all field personnel were provided with live images to their PDAs to quickly pick up troublemakers.
