In Focus: Dallmeier - Managing A Football Crowd

CCTV systems play a key role in monitoring, detecting and responding to critical issues in real-time. Dallmeier addresses these needs through its advanced surveillance technology.

 

 

Managing a football crowd with CCTV is crucial for maintaining safety, preventing incidents and ensuring the smooth running of the event. Football matches often involve large, passionate crowds, which can sometimes result in crowd control challenges, such as overcrowding, antisocial behaviour, vandalism or violence. Here’s how Dallmeier’s CCTV systems specifically benefit stadiums.

 

Panomera® Multifocal Sensor System – Wide Area Coverage

The Panomera® camera system is Dallmeier’s flagship technology designed to cover large areas including the inside bowl of stadiums and Zone Ex. It uses patented multifocal sensor technology that combines several lenses with different focal lengths, allowing the system to zoom into specific areas while maintaining a complete overview of the entire area. The Panomera® provides the desired image resolution and pixels on target is maintained across the whole scene, ensuring that faces and other details are clearly visible, which is crucial for identifying individuals during incidents or crowd management.

 

Crowd Safety and Monitoring – RealTime Surveillance

Security teams can monitor crowd behaviour in real-time (25 frames per second), allowing them to detect and respond quickly to incidents like antisocial behaviour, pyros, missiles, overcrowding or medical emergencies. With Dallmeier’s technology, multiple areas can be viewed at once, ensuring no blind spots.

 

Incident Response and Investigation – Instant Playback

Dallmeier systems allow for immediate access to recorded footage with numerous search tools, helping security teams investigate incidents quickly and effectively. This is vital during a matchday when rapid response is needed. Incident backups are maintained in a secure and accessible archive without compromising privacy which is essential for effective incident investigation.

 

Regulatory Compliance – Meeting Legal Requirements

Many countries and local authorities have strict regulations on public event safety and security, especially in sports venues. As an ISO27001 certified company, Dallmeier’s CCTV solutions help stadium operators meet these requirements, providing detailed recordings that comply with local laws on surveillance and data storage.

 

Operational Insights – Crowd Management and Efficiency

Beyond security, Dallmeier’s CCTV systems can be used to optimise stadium operations. For example, cameras can help identify bottlenecks in queues at turnstiles, entrance gates, concessions or toilets, allowing stadium managers to improve flow and service during events. Monitoring car parks, concessions and seating areas helps stadium managers ensure a smooth experience for fans, improving both safety and overall satisfaction.

 

Scalable Solutions – Solutions specific to your stadium

Dallmeier systems can be easily scaled up or down depending on the size of the stadium or specific event needs. Existing sports venue customers include regional stadiums with few thousand seats all the way up to FIFA championship stadiums across the globe. Systems can be tailored to meet the unique challenges of each stadium. Dallmeier solutions integrate with other security systems, such as access control and intruder detection, allowing seamless management and operational efficiency.

 

Cost Efficiency – Reduced costs for stewarding and policing

With comprehensive CCTV coverage, the need for physical security personnel can be reduced, as fewer staff are required to monitor large areas. This can result in cost savings over time. Dallmeier systems are known for their durability and low maintenance, reducing long-term operational costs. Conclusion Dallmeier’s CCTV solutions are designed to meet the complex security, operational and compliance needs of football stadiums. Our technology ensures a safer environment for fans, staff, players and officials while optimising stadium management and operations.

 

Compliance with security standards, superior image quality and ability to handle large-scale surveillance efficiently are a few of the factors as to why Dallmeier systems are being used today in numerous UK stadiums including 17 Premier League clubs.
