SCL Tigers stadium ensures the safety of their matches with Panasonic

To control the area in front of the stands and the sides, 4K WV-SFV781L dome cameras have been installed, while the vandal-vandal WV-SFV631 takes care of the smaller areas and the Full HD IP dome WV-SW598A inside and outside the stadium. For recording operations the network system is used, which includes a hard drive to which they can connect 32 video channels.

The SCL Tigers are an ice hockey team based at Ilfishalle Stadium., located in Langnau im Emmental. Like the rest of the member clubs of the Swiss First Division, it must comply with a series of regulations on the safety of people and the building. “Stadium operators must have the capacity to review video footage from stands and outdoor areas, before and after the incident occurs”, explains Peter Müller, CEO of the SCL Tigers.

To respond to these requirements, the club opted for the installation of a video surveillance solution based on Panasonic technology since its 4K cameras capture an area that is four to nine times larger than 1080p or 720p cameras.. This feature ensures image quality while reducing transmission speed. Six-magnification optical zoom allows you to identify objects and people clearly.

The infrastructure is integrated by the 4K dome cameras WV-SFV781L, that have been installed above the stands of the stadium and that are responsible for controlling the area located in front of the stands and the sides.

The full length of a stand can be controlled with as few as two cameras, while the sides and corners where fans are located are controlled with a single 4K camera.

With this equipment it is possible to capture and record even the smallest detail. Its viewing angle offers crystal clear definition in all areas of the image, either in the center or in the corners. All this is possible even when between the camera and the spectators there is 50 meters away. 4K technology allows you to reduce the number of cameras, as well as the resources needed to display and evaluate images at the monitor point.

To control the smallest areas, the WV-SFV631 vandal-mounted camera equipped with Auto Back Focus functions has been used (Abf) and Remote Zoom, that facilitate installation thanks to the possibility of configuration from a laptop or a PC, and DoF (Deep of Field, depth of field), that generates defined images at all times, whether foreground or far away.

To ensure flexibility in controlling the indoor and outdoor area of the stadium, model WV-SW598A is used, a Full HD IP dome camera with PTZ function. This camera provides an optical zoom of 30 increases and includes an IP66 vandal-proof housing. With a dynamic range of 128 Increases, this equipment is ideal for generating night and day images.

With a wide range of functions, The SW598A is a smart camera that offers optimal performance even in rainy conditions, snow and fog thanks to its analytical capacity.

For recording operations, the WJ-NV300 network model has been implemented, which includes a hard drive to which they can connect 32 video channels. This device stands out for its high level of reliability and intuitive and clear graphical user interface. Allows live and real-time recordings (30 Fps) on all channels.

The cameras are easy to operate and allow live surveillance tasks in different screen modes. An internal divider allows you to add an additional monitor to show the entire ice hockey game as an overview.
