Stadiums and venues

How do you keep thousands of people safe without spoiling the experience? The task starts long before the event begins and ends well after the last fan leaves. With innovative, flexible network technology, Axis can support you from start to finish.

Smart network solutions for arenas of all sizes

Hosting thousands of people in a limited space presents complex security challenges. Axis helps venues create safer, smoother experiences by combining network cameras, access control, network audio and analytics in one open, scalable solution. Choose an end-to-end system or integrate Axis products with your existing infrastructure. High-resolution cameras, thermal and radar technologies deliver clearer situational awareness, while edge-based analytics help detect, assess and respond to incidents reliably and efficiently all the way from entry to exit.

Collaboration to solve MetLife Stadium unique needs

As the home field for two NFL teams and a frequent venue for concerts and other large events, MetLife Stadium is one of the largest and highest-grossing stadiums in the world. Located just miles outside New York City, the venue has a maximum capacity of more than 82,000—the equivalent of a small city—and keeping things operating safely and smoothly is no small task. When the MetLife Stadium security team had trouble finding a camera that met their needs, they didn’t compromise. Instead, they collaborated with Axis Communications to design a tailored solution capable of checking every box.

Safety before, during, and after the event

A key challenge of venue security is how to keep fans in and around the stadium safe without spoiling the atmosphere. Axis helps meet this challenge throughout the entire event. Beforehand, network video helps control the flow of visitors to the venue, while edge analytics alert you if known troublemakers are identified or if anyone enters restricted areas. Inside the stadium, cameras can cover large areas while PTZ also letting you zoom in on details, even in difficult light or weather conditions. Audio can support informing the crowds.
