Fulham Football Club has implemented a new physical security system based on cloud infrastructure technologies.
EMC has introduced a wireless IP Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system on EMC unified storage, working with video management software provider Genetec: the solution is accessible on mobile devices, such as Apple iPads, allowing Fulham's security team to more effectively monitor crowd safety and improve stadium security.
Fulham F.C. previously used a network of six VHS recorders and 27 cameras to observe the many thousands of visitors to the famous Craven Cottage ground. Based on a stand-alone storage infrastructure, this system was costly and difficult to manage and maintain, each camera required maintenance before every match and video tapes would have to be manually scanned in the event of a security incident.
