With a capacity for several thousand spectators, site security is paramount in order to keep visitors and staff safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To modernise its video protection system and ensure optimal surveillance, the Toulon M\u00e9tropole, responsible for the venue, chose SNEF Connect, a certified integrator to support the installation of a new system, alongside <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> solutions in collaboration with the Genetec video management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SNEF Connect was mandated for this project through the national purchasing centre, UGAP. The SNEF Connect Agency Manager in La Seyne-sur-Mer, A\u00efman Fawaz, shared that the first step to implementing a new system was a site audit to define the requirements: \u201cThrough UGAP, we succeeded in being mandated to carry out an audit to present them with a suitable technical solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Complete and High-Performance System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p>The major challenge of this modernisation was the complete removal of the old system, which was 25 years old, Mr. Fawaz explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application of video surveillance in this project must cover multiple areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Security and crowd management<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User safety<\/strong>: The building hosts clubs and associations (judo rooms, climbing walls, gymnasiums), and the system guarantees the safety of visitors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incident investigation<\/strong>: A key benefit of the system is having recordings for post-incident analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To meet the site\u2019s requirements, SNEF Connect deployed over 60 cameras from the <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> X series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cameras, equipped with embedded artificial intelligence, automatically optimise images, with the AI notably reducing image noise and improving clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Palais-des-Sports-de-Toulon_1-600x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1650021\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Palais-des-Sports-de-Toulon_4_1-600x552-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1650029\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Palais-des-Sports-de-Toulon_3-600x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1650037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Palais-des-Sports-de-Toulon_3-600x800-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hanwhavision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Palais-des-Sports-de-Toulon_3-600x800-1-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centralised and Intuitive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire system integrates seamlessly with the Genetec platform, which centralises and manages the video streams from all installed cameras.

The cameras are already equipped with metadata and AI, making them ready for future use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe client is indeed aware that they have a very high-performance solution with AI. It only requires setting up use cases, such as line crossing, unauthorised object abandonment, or people counting, for example. These are potentially tools that we will implement in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Exemplary Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this modernisation, the Palais des Sports de Toulon now benefits from an increased level of security while simplifying the work of on-site teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining the reliability of <span class=\"hwFont\">Hanwha Vision<\/span> cameras, the performance of the Genetec platform, and SNEF Connect\u2019s integration expertise, the Palais des Sports de Toulon now benefits from effective security through its modern, scalable and future-proof video surveillance system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Palais des Sports de Toulon in South France is a key venue hosting major sporting, cultural, and community events every year.
