Avigilon Corporation, provider of security solutions, announced it was selected to enhance security at Vodafone Park stadium, in Istanbul, Turkey, of Beşiktaş JK.
Enhancing spectator and player safety
Vodafone Park opened in April 2016 and is the venue for national Süper Lig and UEFA Champions League games. It features over 43,000 stadium seats, 144 executive suites, and more than 4,000 sq. meters (43,055 sq. ft.) of restaurants, shops and parking.
To enhance spectator and player safety Beşiktaş JK, in partnership with security systems integrator Sensormatic Güvenlik Hizmetleri, deployed a complete Avigilon surveillance solution that incorporated more than 500 Avigilon cameras, including the award-winning Avigilon 7K (30 MP) HD Pro camera line, Avigilon Dome, Bullet, and PTZ cameras, as well as Avigilon network video recorders and Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management software. Avigilon’s complete solution has enabled Beşiktaş JK operators to monitor and track activities during matches more efficiently
The use of the Avigilon 7K (30 MP) HD Pro cameras allows Beşiktaş JK to cover wide areas of the stadium while simultaneously delivering exceptional image detail to zoom in and quickly identify and respond to potential security events. Combined with the advanced search functions of ACC, Avigilon’s complete solution has enabled Beşiktaş JK operators to monitor and track activities during matches more efficiently. This has helped to decrease illegal entry at Vodafone Park, helping to create a safer, more enjoyable customer experience.
Smooth installation
“Avigilon’s solutions have helped us create a safe and inviting environment for our fans, which has ultimately allowed us to sell more tickets,” said Serhan Abaç, Stadium Marketing and Event Director at Beşiktaş JK. “The installation of Avigilon’s solutions was smooth and the system has been providing such positive results that other clubs now want to reach this level of security and technology in their stadiums.”
Avigilon’s high-resolution cameras, artificial intelligence driven video analytics technology, and video management software solutions are designed to meet the diverse needs of stadiums around the globe.
