The World Cup, an international event held once every four years, is known as one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. This year, Brazil played the role of host for this sports festival. In order to protect athletes and fans at all of the stadium sites, the Brazilian government dispatched one of its military brigades, the Special Operations Command (COPESP), to establish the security. COPESP employed its professional intelligent military platform, with Vivotek’s state-of-the-art 1080p full HD speed dome network SD8363E camera integrated into the system to monitor movement inside and outside of the stadiums. The Vivotek SD8363E, with several advanced features such as impressive frame rate, high weatherproofing, with its IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated housing, WDR Pro technology, and 360°continuous pan and 220° extended tilt range, all make it especially ideal for monitoring wide open spaces like stadiums.

Claudio Freitas, a Colonel from COPESP, remarked, "The World Cup is an international event. We knew that the entire world would be watching. Thus, real-time security control is crucial. My COPESP personnel, with our professional intelligent military platform and Vivotek’s cameras, did an amazing job ensuring that the venues were a safe place to enjoy a football match.”

Steve Ma, Executive VP at Vivotek, stated, "Large open venues like football stadiums are potential targets for terrorist attacks. Thus, it is crucial to have real-time security control over the entire event, seamlessly protecting the players and also the audience with an advanced surveillance system. At Vivotek we are honoured that our latest speed dome network SD8363E camera, with suchh a high-level of reliability and top-notch image quality, supported COPESP to ensure security at the World Cup.”
