Security cameras help organizers monitor perimeters, detect threats early, and prevent disruptions for a safer, more controlled event.
The time has arrived! Vendors are lined up, parking is planned, and all that’s left is for the crowds of people to start to arrive. In your zeal to put on the event you’ve been so carefully planning, don’t overlook one very crucial element to its success—the security of its perimeter.
Read on to discover how to augment perimeter security with thermal security camera technology and other tools.
If you’re putting on a music festival, you may be anxiously anticipating throngs of leather-clad rock-and-roll lovers. If you’re throwing an executive gala, the crowds you await at your soiree may be executives and plus-ones, dressed to the nines. Whatever the theme of your shindig, there's one group you must watch out for—uninvited guests.
By securing your event’s perimeter, you maintain the safety of your guests, staff, and venue, and help ensure the success of the activities at hand. Security cameras—not the grainy, clunky CCTV cameras of the past, but their modern, intelligent counterparts—are your ticket to keeping unwanted people and behaviors away from your event. These cameras give you the ability to detect threats early, so you have time to intervene before they escalate.
LVT's thermal security cameras are a powerful tool for securing outdoor locations, especially event perimeters. Effective even in inclement weather and low light conditions, these cameras detect infrared energy to identify threats and intruders.
A step up from traditional security cameras, thermal cameras significantly reduce false alarms by distinguishing between different types of movement, such as vehicle vs. human movement, ensuring resources aren’t wasted on harmless activity.
The real-time monitoring of a thermal security camera works best when it’s integrated with other security methods, such as alarm systems, access control, drones, and trained security staff. Your existing solutions can still play a valuable role in the process, just augmented by some of the best surveillance equipment on the market.
Thermal security cameras from LVT are uniquely equipped to integrate with video analytics and management systems, alarms, access control systems, and more. Once threats are detected and identified, you’re immediately notified, which significantly enhances situational awareness and reduces response times. These capabilities, along with multiple lens options, make LVT’s thermal security cameras the clear choice for securing your event’s perimeter in a flexible, customized, and effective way.
If the host of any large event knows one thing for certain, it’s that building a strong relationship with local law enforcement is an incredibly worthwhile venture. When you implement perimeter security technology from LVT at your event, you are providing law enforcement partners with precisely what they need to deter, investigate, and prosecute crime on and around your premises.
Advanced security systems can not only send event organizers and their employees real-time alerts about potential threats, but they can also notify law enforcement agencies for quicker response times and more effective intervention.
In addition to keeping response times low and law enforcement partners in the loop, visible security cameras are effective at deterring would-be criminals from committing nefarious activities in the first place. LVT® Units stand out as symbols of security that will see and record any shady goings-on.
Today’s security cameras do the work for you. Smart cameras, like the ones from LiveView Technologies, are elite in their design and customizable in their features. High-resolution footage allows for the detection of small and distant objects in any weather or light condition. Perimeter intrusion detection—via motion sensing software—identifies actual threats and virtually eliminates false alarms. Video analytics, powered by artificial intelligence, can identify threatening behavior, recognize faces and license plates, and reduce the need for constant monitoring by your security staff whose time is precious.
When putting on an event of any kind, there are a variety of moving parts. A busy proprietor like you simply cannot be everywhere at once—and you don’t have to be. LVT’s remote surveillance cameras allow you to control and access your cameras from anywhere, with cloud-based storage and an intuitive mobile app. Remote perimeter security control is an essential element to the safety and success of your event and can make all the difference in keeping bad apples out and the good times rolling.
In 2022, the Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend brought together over 80,000 excited fans eager to see the race, enjoy good food, and take in concerts from performers including Tim McGraw, Florida Georgia Line, Gwen Stefani, and Blake Shelton. As one of the biggest events in the track’s history, the weekend required a higher standard of security. The track’s existing security cameras needed augmentation in order to provide a complete security profile for the 3-day gathering.
Hy-Vee, the event’s sponsor, deployed LVT security cameras and saw excellent results. These state-of-the-art units protected the tens of thousands of race attendees by providing visual crime deterrence, 24/7 coverage, increased situational awareness and better response times for both security staff and law enforcement, and units that could be moved easily to accommodate any need that arose. Evidence was captured of damage to the racetrack by a semi-truck, two lost children were reunited with their guardians, and the units ultimately protected and reassured the immense crowds at an event that brought a massive economic boom to a small Midwestern town. This partnership between LVT and Hy-Vee set a new standard for event perimeter security—a standard we can achieve for your event, as well.
When your perimeter is continuously secured and you’re notified of threats in real time, any event—be it an indie concert or a football game—can be pulled off successfully and safely for all involved.
