Allianz Parque has become one of the most modern multipurpose arenas in Latin America since it was built in 2014 by WTorre Properties. The stadium is located at the same place as the old Palestra Itália stadium with a capacity of more than forty thousand spectators, it not just meets FIFA standards but was also awarded various prizes including the master award in the 11th edition of the grand prize for corporate architecture, the accessibility seal, delivered by the permanent accessibility commission (CPA), and the "environmental management of the surroundings of the work" award, at the 3rd Health and safety at work Seconci award.
With an eye on the market, the management of Allianz Parque constantly invests in advanced technology and new solutions to keep the project in line with the most current standards of innovation in the world. The latest is intelligent video surveillance cameras from
Dahua Technology. The cameras with embedded artificial intelligence systems could help the security team of the arena work more efficiently and productively, so that the stadium is capable of dealing with different kinds of scenarios, such as large-scale concerts, major celebrations and, especially, football matches at Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras.
Challenges
The installation of the entire system took around 90 days. According to the General Manager of Allianz Parque, the biggest challenge is to implement the new system with the arena in operation. "We have to carry out the replacement without any impact on the security team. But with the support of the Dahua Technology team, we are able to do the job quietly without any major changes in our initial planning,” explained Rigotto.
Solutions
In the project, devices with the latest generation embedded artificial intelligence technologies were used. Many of their functions go beyond an image captured by an ordinary camera. Here are the camera models and technologies used:
- DH-IPC-PF83230-A180 - panoramic camera with four 8 megapixel CMOS sensors, which generates a single 180-degree image of 32MP using H.265 compression technique
- SD6CE245UN-HNI - PTZ-style positioning camera with various technologies, such as Starlight, which allows viewing of images in very light colors (less than 0.005lux). It has a 45x zoom system, plus an infrared illumination that can reach 250 meters away;
- MPT310 portable recorder, used with lapel cameras, making recording and transmission of high-definition audio and video online from the point of view of the agent close to the events;
- DH-IPC-HFW8242EN-Z4FD-IRA-LED - special network camera that captures human faces through AI algorithm, embedded in a chip with Deep Learning Technology. It gives the facial detection server a good deal of processing work since the camera itself locates the faces of the video image and analyzes attributes such as gender, age, facial expressions and whether it has glasses
- Network camera recorder and face database manager DHI-IVSS7016DR-4T. It works in conjunction with the CMS DSS PRO that makes the recording of the videos in the network, in addition to managing and analyzing the faces pre-registered in the database of employees and service providers of Allianz Parque. Users can also set a blacklist and the recorder will alert once unauthorized persons detected in a certain sector. The server can, in real time, work by processing the input stream at the gate opening, being able to recognize up to 40 faces per second in the Arena, detecting the faces and comparing them with the database prepared to issue field safety alerts in up to a few seconds;
- Video wall, with 6 46-inch LCD screens (DHL460UCM-ES), forms a 2x3 matrix and a Dahua controller (NVD0905DH-4I-4K), which can display 4K, live images, advertisements and bulletins in a professional manner
