Colombia. Avigilon Corporation recently announced that Medellin's Estadio Atanasio Girardot is the first stadium in Colombia to install Avigilon's 7K (30MP) cameras as part of its security solution.
Avigilon's 7K cameras and Avigilon Control Center 'ACC) video management software were selected as part of a major security update for this government stadium in an initiative by Medellin's government and law enforcement agencies to combat crime and vandalism during sporting events.
Currently, Avigilon's video surveillance systems are being installed in many renowned stadiums around the world.
Avigilon's solution allows law enforcement and emergency crews to see activity within the large crowd the moment it happens, while providing information and video evidence that can support investigations. This solution allows users to view situations from the main control center and remote control centers.
"We are proud to collaborate with the Mayor and municipality of Medellin for demonstrating leadership in Latin America by installing the first 7K cameras in one of Colombia's premier stadiums," said Alexander Fernandes, founder, president, CEO and chairman of Avigilon's Board of Directors.
"The installation of Avigilon's solution reinforces its commitment to the safety of the people of Medellin and the tens of thousands of spectators who attend mass events at this stadium."
