Arecont Vision's megapixel cameras ensure safety at New York Giants' MetLife Stadium

More than 130 Arecont Vision manufacturer's megapixel IP cameras provide maximum coverage with HD images to cover and monitor large areas of MetLife Stadium, where the New York Giants and New York Jets play.

The megapixel IP technology of Arecont Vision has been chosen by the MetLife Stadium safety coordination team in New Jersey, with capacity for more than 82.500 Spectators, to provide comprehensive and uninterrupted video coverage to all your facilities and fans of the New York Giants and New York Jets.

The video surveillance cameras of this North American manufacturer were installed to ensure full coverage of large areas with extreme detail and with the possibility of electronically enlarging live or recorded images, without affecting the real-time and continuous video surveillance of the controlled areas, discreetly and without altering the experience of the fans.

As Scott Schafer points out, Executive Vice President of Arecont Vision,"We are delighted that our megapixel imaging solutions will play a crucial role in the deployment of this advanced high-end video solution.. Our megapixel cameras installed in MetLife cover the entire stadium area, entrances and leisure areas, with excellent value for money, by using far fewer cameras compared to VGA or analog IP cameras, and the system can be managed more efficiently and economically".
