posted on 28/09/2011

Dallmeier’s Panomera multi-sensor system kept a watchful eye on the gathering when over 60,000 worshippers celebrated mass with the Pope at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium last Thursday. Shortly after 6 p.m., Pope Benedict XVI entered the stadium through the marathon gate. Over 60,000 worshippers cheered as the popemobile then made its way through the crowd on the blue track. After signing the Golden Book of the City of Berlin, the pontiff celebrated mass with the visitors. In light of the eminence of the visitor and the throngs of followers in attendance, it is understandable that security in and around the stadium was extremely tight. The police and security officers received support from a very special video surveillance technology: the Panomera multi-sensor system, which allows a comprehensive overview of the stadium while simultaneously offering top detail resolution.

IndigoVision's Audio Forensics let operators search recorded footage fast and dynamically
posted on 28/09/2011

With IndigoVision's Audio Forensics, high-quality, two-way, fully synchronised audio is streamed and recorded alongside video and can now be searched using audio as well as video analytics to quickly locate incidents. Audio Forensics let operators search recorded footage faster and more dynamically than just passively listening during playback. Identifying an incident that’s happened outside the camera’s field of view, such as a broken window or a shout, provides another way to find evidence. Incidents are located using an audio search filter and results displayed in a thumbnail timeline, allowing operators to search through hours of footage in seconds. Once an event is identified, simply 'double-clicking' the thumbnail will start video and audio playback from that point. Chad Wright, General Manager of Naskam Security, an Australian-based national video and alarm monitoring centre, commented “The ability to rapidly search recordings for audio incidents makes the IndigoVision system s...
