101st Grey Cup Festival Adds
Axis Communications’ Network Cameras and Video Management Software to
its Security Team
The security system, installed by Reliable Security, will provide live and
recorded footage for the Grey Cup Festival Staff and Regina Police Service to
help keep visitors and volunteers safe as they enjoy the Celebration in Rider
Nation
Mississauga,
ON – November 19, 2013 –
Axis Communications, the global leader in network video surveillance, today
announced that the security team at this week’s
101st Grey Cup Festival in Regina, Saskatchewan will utilize a mix of Axis
thermal, fixed dome and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) network cameras controlled by AXIS
Camera Station video management software to help protect visitors and volunteers
of the five-day festival leading up to the Canadian Football League’s
championship game.
The all-digital, temporary security system will allow Festival staff and local
police help maintain crowd control, locate lost children and prevent
unauthorized entry into the festival grounds after hours. Installation of the
system will be completed by Axis partner Reliable Security, a division of
Reliable Heating and Cooling Ltd., to provide 24/7 monitoring capabilities.
“Keeping visitors, residents and volunteers safe over the course of the Grey Cup
Festival is a primary concern to us,” said Neil Donnelly, Executive Director,
101st Grey Cup Festival. “With the addition of the Axis network cameras and
experience of Reliable’s team, our security team can work even more closely with
the Regina Police Service to keep their eye on the 101st Grey Cup Festival from
anywhere, 24/7.”
With more than 60,000 people expected to embark on downtown Regina over five
days, the Grey Cup Festival is known as the ultimate party on the prairie. The
temporary digital camera system will give the Grey Cup Festival security team
additional eyes to help keep the influx of visitors safe while they enjoy the
activities in the heart of Regina.
An All-Axis, All-Hours System
Starting last week, Reliable began installing the all-Axis end-to-end solution
of IP cameras and video management software (VMS), including a mix of
outdoor-ready fixed and fixed dome network cameras like the popular
AXIS P33 Series and
AXIS P13 Series.
Additionally, since 24/7 surveillance is critical for the Grey Cup Festival,
AXIS Q19 Thermal Network Camera Series will help detect people entering the
Festival grounds in complete darkness while
AXIS Q1602 Network Cameras with award-winning Lightfinder technology can
provide clear, color video at night with minimum illumination – even down to
moonlight on a clear night.
AXIS Camera Station will be utilized to view, manage and record all video
from the Grey Cup Festival. Axis’ VMS is designed to perfectly match the
company’s wide range of network video products and features, and will provide
the security team and Regina police with superior image quality, easy and
intuitive video control, intelligent video, multi-view streaming and the ability
to monitor video feeds from multiple locations, including at the Regina Police
Service headquarters.
“We’re excited to assist in keeping the 101st Grey Cup Festival a safe and
secure event for fans and volunteers as they celebrate the oldest sports
competition in Canada,” said Bob Moore, Country Manager, Axis Communications
Canada. “Whether installed at stadiums, hospitals, university campuses, critical
infrastructure plants, schools or other demanding environments across Canada,
our wide range of Axis network cameras are very easy to deploy and provide
superior image quality with increased intelligence for all security needs.”
