Axis Communications, a renowned network video surveillance company, announced that the security team at the 101th Grey Cup Festival in Regina, Saskatchewan will utilize a mix of Axis thermal, fixed dome and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) network cameras controlled by AXIS Camera Station video management software to help protect visitors and volunteers of the five-day festival.
The all-digital, temporary security system will allow Festival staff and local police help maintain crowd control, locate lost children and prevent unauthorized entry into the festival grounds after hours. Installation of the system will be completed by Axis partner Reliable Security, a division of Reliable Heating and Cooling, to provide 24/7 monitoring capabilities.
With more than 60,000 people expected to embark on downtown Regina over five days, the Grey Cup Festival is known as the ultimate party on the prairie as fans celebrate leading up to the Canadian Football League's championship game. The temporary digital camera system will give the Grey Cup Festival security team additional eyes to help keep this influx of visitors safe while they enjoy the activities in the heart of Regina.
An All-Axis, All-Hours System
Reliable will begin installing the all-Axis end-to-end solution of IP cameras and video management software (VMS), including a mix of outdoor-ready fixed and fixed dome network cameras like the popular AXIS P33 Series and AXIS P13 Series.
As 24/7 surveillance is critical for the Grey Cup Festival, AXIS Q19 Thermal Network Camera Series can detect people entering the Festival grounds in complete darkness while AXIS Q1602 Network Cameras with award-winning Lightfinder technology can provide clear, color video at night with minimum illumination – even down to moonlight on a clear night.
AXIS Camera Station will be utilized to view, manage and record all video from the Grey Cup Festival. Axis' VMS is designed to perfectly match the company's wide range of network video products and features, and will provide the security team and Regina police with superior image quality, easy and intuitive video control, intelligent video, multi-view streaming and the ability to monitor video feeds from multiple locations, including at the Regina Police Service headquarters.
