Case Study Background

A professional football club competing in the League of Ireland Premier Division required a modern security system to strengthen match day operations and improve security across its stadium. The club needed comprehensive monitoring of spectator areas, entrances, player facilities and surrounding grounds, while also supporting public safety and protecting valuable assets outside of match days.

Advanced Digital Security Limited (ADSL) was appointed to deliver a new Dahua security solution providing reliable coverage across the stadium. With no data cabling to one side of the ground, the installation required a wireless approach alongside intelligent monitoring with accurate human and vehicle classification.

The Solution

Advanced Digital Security Limited (ADSL) partnered with Dahua Technology to deliver a comprehensive security solution tailored to the operational requirements of a professional football stadium.

The installation combines intelligent fixed cameras, PTZ technology and wireless transmission to provide complete coverage of spectator areas, turnstiles, hospitality facilities, player entrances and the stadium surrounds.

Dahua WizSense PTZ and bullet cameras deliver high quality imaging with intelligent human and vehicle classification, reducing false alarms while improving incident detection.

A Dahua X-Spans Panoramic PTZ camera provides wide area coverage of the pitch and surrounding areas, allowing operators to monitor live activity during match days or run automated patrols when the stadium is unoccupied.

To overcome the lack of cable infrastructure to the home stand, a wireless bridge system was deployed, eliminating the need for disruptive excavation while maintaining reliable connectivity.

Centralised monitoring and recording are provided through a Dahua WizSense Network Video Recorder and professional monitor, giving operators complete visibility from a dedicated control room.
