UniArgus - Mega Eyes: Securing Special Olympics Shanghai Invitational Games

UniSVR and Shanghai Telecom, a subsidiary of China Telecom, have worked together to provide an advanced surveillance solution for 2006 Special Olympics Shanghai Invitational Games. The solution helped the members of the executive committee oversee the event and security personnel take effective actions which were extremely important to these special athletes and visitors.

The 2006 Special Olympic Shanghai Invitation Tournament opened on October 13. It was a rehearsal for 2007 Shanghai Special Olympic World Summer Games and all aspects of the preparations were tested, including the basic procedures, the operations of the stadiums and reception services.

UniSVR worked with Shanghai Telecom to propose UniArgus – Mega Eyes solution to the executive committee for the Olympics and set up a video surveillance command center for the committee in a stadium that holds over 80,000 people. The major requirements include the central monitoring of the stadiums for overseeing events and activities and the video retrievals of the stadiums in the command center.   

UniSVR worked tightly with Shanghai Telecom and its authorized system integrators to make sure the requirements of the executive committee were 100% fulfilled. The installations were completed and tested successfully on time despite of the tight schedule. On-site supports were provided to ensure the success of the operations during the invitational tournament and won high remarks of the executive committee. It also sets milestone for UniSVR and Shanghai Telecom to support securing Special Olympic World Summer Games next year. 

Central management, distributed processing and remote monitoring are three keys to bring to the success of the project.

• Distributed processing
  The DVRs and CCTV cameras were installed in the stadiums. The video images captured by the DVRs were sent to UniArgus – Mega Eyes systems installed in the command center.
  
  
  
• Central management
  The committee members, security personnel and others monitored all major activities through UniArgus – Mega Eyes systems. The members of the committee could easily oversee the event, provide supervision and identify management items to improve. The security personnel constantly monitored the stadiums and took effective actions to incidents. Their quick responses and special attentions were critical and won the hearts of these special athletes and visitors.
  
  
  
• Remote monitoring
  The personnel with privilege were able to login and view the event through a web browser. It was particularly helpful to those who could not be in Shanghai to attend the event.

UniSVR and Shanghai Telecom were very proud to support the invitational tournament and would continue to provide full support for 2007 Shanghai Special Olympic World Summer Games based on the practice learned in the invitational tournament.
