As athletes and spectators converge on Beijing this summer, Olympic committees and government officials are under great pressure to provide a safe and secure environment for visitors both before and during the event. A big event such as this can be a focus for terrorist attacks, and it is crucial that high-tech video surveillance is used to its full. Realising the importance of spectator safety within the venue, decision-makers are depending on Vicon's cameras to monitor the stadium.
Vicon's Surveyor VFT day/night dome cameras were chosen because of their excellent record for performance and reliability, and will be installed around the stadium along with fixed cameras on Vicon's Vistar pan & tilt drives.
"It has been said that the Beijing National Stadium, when completed, will be the world's largest enclosed space and it is exhilarating that Vicon will be a part of securing this facility," said J.C. Caine, International Sales Manager at Vicon.
