Stadiums, arenas, convention centers, and entertainment venues face unique security challenges. Thousands of people gathering in one place create both logistical complexity and elevated security risks. Traditional security screening creates bottlenecks, frustrates attendees, and still can't guarantee comprehensive protection.
The Venue Security Challenge
Large venues need to balance multiple competing priorities: ensure attendee safety, maintain efficient entry and exit flows, provide a positive experience that encourages return visits, and manage security costs effectively. Metal detectors and bag checks slow entry, create long lines, and can still miss threats.
Hawkeye EDS provides continuous monitoring throughout your venue—not just at entry points. Our system monitors concourses, seating areas, restrooms, and other public spaces, detecting threats wherever they might appear.
Scalable Infrastructure
Whether you're hosting 5,000 or 100,000 people, Hawkeye EDS scales to meet your needs. Our cloud infrastructure handles any load, and our edge processing ensures detection continues even during network congestion or connectivity issues.
For venues that host different types of events, our system adapts to different security requirements. Configure different alert protocols for sporting events, concerts, conventions, and private events, all managed from the same platform.
Zone-Based Management
Large venues benefit from zone-based security management. Divide your facility into logical zones (entry gates, concourses, seating sections, VIP areas, back-of-house) with different monitoring priorities and response protocols for each zone.
When threats are detected, responders see exactly which zone is affected, helping them navigate complex facilities quickly. Automatic notifications can be targeted to specific zones, avoiding unnecessary panic in unaffected areas.
Flexible Deployment Options
Permanent installations provide continuous protection for year-round venues. Temporary deployments support special events, festivals, and seasonal operations. Our team can design hybrid solutions that combine permanent infrastructure with temporary expansion capabilities for peak events.
Rapid deployment kits enable setup in hours rather than days, perfect for touring events, temporary venues, or emergency security enhancements. All deployment options use the same software platform, ensuring consistent capabilities regardless of installation type.
