Arecont Vision Megapixel Cameras Deliver Superior Video Surveillance at MetLife Stadium

Arecont Vision, a manufacturer of IP-based megapixel camera technology, has been selected by Arecont Vision Megapixel Cameras Deliver Superior Video Surveillance at MetLife StadiumMetLife Stadium’s security management team to provide comprehensive, undisrupted video coverage throughout every part of its venue. Arecont Vision megapixel cameras have been deployed to ensure wide area coverage with extreme detail and the ability to electronically zoom into live and recorded footage without affecting wide area surveillance. The best-in-breed video surveillance solution was built around Arecont Vision’s megapixel imaging technology to ensure that the highest levels of security and surveillance are maintained at the facility without impeding the fan experience.

“We are pleased that our innovative megapixel imaging solutions are playing a key role in the deployment of this advanced video surveillance solution,” said Scott Schafer, executive vice President, Arecont Vision. “The Arecont Vision megapixel cameras installed at MetLife Stadium provide coverage of the stadium bowl, gates and plaza areas, with excellent cost-efficiency by using far fewer cameras versus legacy IP VGA or analog cameras. Because the number of cameras is reduced, the system can be more effectively managed. The key attributes to a solution like this are excellent image quality to identify activity and people, frame rates to see the action, Day/Night video capabilities, reduced network and storage expense via H.264 compression and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to reduce power cabling costs.”

The new video surveillance system installed at MetLife Stadium was designed by Corporate Security Services, Inc. located in Edison, New Jersey. The Arecont Vision megapixel cameras are managed using Genetec Security Center, a unified video management system (VMS), which is controlled from a centralized security command center in MetLife Stadium.
