Omniprotect AB has together with Kentima built up an advanced, efficient and modern surveillance system at the Olympia Football Stadium in Helsingborg, Sweden. With the help of five Ethiris NVRs and close to 100 cameras the police can both prevent and quickly find possible hotspots at high risk games.

A few years ago the city of Helsingborg decided to rebuild the Olympia football stadium. In the new facility there should also be a new, better and larger surveillance system to be able to increase the control of possible disturbance at high risk games.

Omniprotect has created an advanced surveillance system which is based on Ethiris VMS, five Ethiris NVRs and close to 100 cameras. The cameras are located at the seats and stands of the bleachers, distribution decks, entrances, stairs etc. All Ethiris NVRs are located in a server room and in the control room at the top of the bleachers there are work stations with Ethiris VMS Clients which display video and other information on several monitors.
 

”I am very pleased with our cooperation with Kentima and their high quality products and support. By using Ethiris NVR, both installation and configuration of the system has been streamlined”, says Johan Ericsson, CEO Omniprotect.

Ethiris gives the operator the possibility to quickly search for a specific recorded video clip and then playback the video for invest-igation at the same time that recording continues.

In the control room there are an operator, a security guard, the security managers of each team and one or several policemen which all surveille the facility during a football game. Their common goal is to prevent disturbance on the bleachers and create a safe environment for all the people at Olympia.
 

”As the system is used where a large number of people expect us to maintain law and order and create a safe environment, the demands on functionality and reliability are very high. Ethiris provides us with a very important tool in our work for safety”, says Frederik Ericsson, Event Manager HIF.

In Ethiris you can execute several functions simultaneously, that gives the operator access to advanced functions for increased safety for audience, officials and players. If, for example, the police on site sees something suspicious on the bleachers, they contact the operator. Then the operator can quickly find the location with the help of Ethiris and zoom in on the problem area and do a print-out of the image which police and other security personnel get access to. Olympia has both fixed cameras and PTZ cameras for tracking persons from camera to camera on the facility, all the way to the exit.
