Facial Recognition CCTV Systems installed at stadiums can help prevent football violence

Facial recognition CCTV systems are among the most effective tools that could be used by football teams and associations in order to prevent football violence.

Facial recognition has been recently deployed by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) at the Estadio Centenario, in a bid to combat violence. The new facial recognition CCTV system installed on the premises features 80 cameras covering all access areas, works in low lighting conditions (at night) and identifies faces at a very high speed (25 faces per second).

Officials in the AUF revealed that there are currently more than 100 people blacklisted due to their history of violence. It is believed that installing this system and preventing access for people on the blacklist will help prevent football violence.

Tensor plc — suppliers of advanced facial recognition CCTV systems

The facial recognition CCTV technology installed at the Estadio Centenario in Uruguay has been developed by Tensor partners Herta Security. This top-range technology is optimized for environments with large crowds in constant movement, such as airports, metro and train stations, shopping centres, sports stadiums and urban centres, and makes it possible to record subjects automatically through (on-the-fly) video capture. The system works correctly even with partial facial concealment, wearing of glasses, handkerchiefs or caps, changes in facial expression, difficult lighting conditions and slight rotations of the face.

Our Facial Recognition CCTV system can be easily integrated with existing ID management products and enables administrators to easily create Whitelists/Blacklists for specific areas, while subjects can be very easily enrolled from one or more photographs.

The system fully supports runtime alarm management, is highly tunable (control based on time-frames, sequentially, etc) and even allows alarms to be exported to common formats (PDF, Excel) and remote devices (mobile, PDA, tablet, security control centre).
