Security System solutions for Sporting Venues
While Australia isn’t prone to the football hooliganism plaguing other nations, our sporting events—big or small—can get out of hand. From overzealous parents to inebriated pitch invasions and even potential terrorism, sporting events are susceptible to a plethora of threats.
Security needs to be a top priority for every sporting event, especially in high-stakes games when emotions tend to flare.
But with the right security system, a sporting venue can effectively mitigate the threat. A strategic combination of cameras, access control, alarms, and monitoring can quash potential trouble before it occurs. Contact the team at Brisbane’s Sec Tech Group today.
Security Cameras
A suitable security camera system is the sporting venue’s first line of defence. Not only does CCTV help identify perpetrators after an incident, but it also reduces the likelihood of unsavoury behaviour. Research shows troublemakers feel less inclined to misbehave while being recorded, which makes spectators feel safer during an event.
With a real-time surveillance system, managers can keep an eye on rowdy fans and mobilise security personnel before tempers boil. Furthermore, Colour Vu technology prevents mischief-makers from hiding under cover of darkness. By combining specialised lenses and high-resolution sensors, these state-of-the-art cameras provide crisp, clear images in low-light conditions.
Access Control for Sporting Venues
Access control is a crucial component of every sizeable sporting venue. By restricting the flow of people, management can help keep attendees, players, and officials safe.
From turnstiles to speed gates and revolving doors, there’s a wide range of ways to control entry at the front gates. Advanced access control systems use digital barcodes—whether on a paper print-out, a physical ticket, or a mobile-friendly PDF—to facilitate easy entry-gate access for attendees. This tech not only keeps non-ticket-holding fans outside, but it also eliminates bottlenecks to speed up the process and keep punters content.
Access control doesn’t end at the entry gate, especially in larger sporting venues. Similar systems can prevent fans from wandering into locker rooms, VIP zones, and press boxes to protect staff from threats.
Security Alarms for Sporting Venues
Security alarms use motion or sound detection technology to identify breaches the moment they occur, allowing on-site personnel to promptly respond.
Not only does the technology facilitate faster response times, but it also reduces the resources required to monitor a large sporting venue. The best security alarms, such as the Bosch 6000, integrate with cameras and access control systems to provide a comprehensive security solution.
Alarm Monitoring for Sporting Venues
Even with sophisticated camera, alarm, and access control systems in place, it’s tough to keep a watchful eye on your sporting venue at all times. An integrated alarm monitoring system will automatically alert your security team (or an external monitoring service) to a potential breach so they can take immediate and appropriate action.
Furthermore, monitoring systems work around the clock to protect your venue outside match times.
