Hockey Arena Security System

• Ohio’s Nationwide Arena, home of the Columbus Blue Jackets of the
  National Hockey League (NHL), is protected by an outdated, end of
  life security system. The cost to maintain and repair it was becoming
  unsustainable. The system is composed of multiple disparate systems
  with different interfaces and management systems, and multiple
  requirements for software updates and support.
• Security Director of the Arena wanted to modernize the system
  to enable proactive alerts for situational awareness, and a unified
  platform to manage and visualize all 350 cameras installed across
  the venue.
• Offering a camera agnostic solution, Hive Logic chose to keep the
  existing camera deployment and retrofit it with a powerful video
  management system. A 3-cluster enterprise server is used to manage
  all video streams and access control systems, empowered by Hailo’s
  AI accelerators for high compute workloads.

The Hive software enables video management, access control, and AI video analytics running applications such as:

• People count to monitor entrance and exit of the venue
• Zone management for high traffic / dwell time
• Security forensics to identify regulation violation and crime
• Storage and search to identify past events and provide video evidence
• Iron Link servers from Velasea are used in a cluster, sharing data to
  distribute workload and uptime. Each server is equipped with a Hailo
  Century 0804 PCIe acceleration card with 104 TOPS.
