MOBOTIX network cameras secured the Holland Heineken House (HHH) during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing/PRC. The HHH was thereby equipped with one of the most modern video surveillance solutions worldwide, consisting of high-resolution, intelligent cameras with integrated sensors. The Dutch security company Proseco had also recommended the Heineken brewery to use MOBOTIX products to secure the Heineken Experience beer museum and the Heineken Brandstores in Amsterdam. Besides the extraordinary technical advantages that MOBOTIX offers, the most important criteria for choosing MOBOTIX was, above all, the excellent cost effectiveness of this successful German company.
The Holland Heineken House is a facility that was especially constructed on the Olympic site with catering, stage, shops and entertainment to attract more than 3,000 visitors daily from all over the world. The initiative had existed since the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992 as a joint project of the Dutch sports organization NOC*NSF and Heineken. In August 2008, the HHH opened its doors in Beijing again for the Dutch athletes, their families, friends, fans, press representatives and other guests. This time, the Agricultural Exhibition Center in the embassy district of Beijing was the location for the HHH.
The video surveillance of the HHH during the Olympic Games in Beijing consisted of about 25 cameras, each with 3.1 megapixel resolution, that were delivered by the Dutch MOBOTIX distributor CNI Europe from Dordrecht to the responsible Heineken installation partner. CNI Europe had already supported this partner with the design and configuration of the entire system in the Netherlands.
Engineer Henk Schotman, MOBOTIX BeNeLux Business Development Manager explained, "we are pleased that Proseco has chosen us for the video surveillance of the Holland Heineken House in Beijing. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate the many advantages of our high-resolution image quality in the spotlight. Of course, Mobotix already has previous experience with large sports events, such as the video surveillance of the Fritz-Walter stadium in Kaiserslautern during the Soccer World Cup 2006 event."
Mr. Job Groenendijk, CPO RSE, Security Consultant Technoprevention of Proseco: "After exhaustive testing, we found out that the MOBOTIX cameras fulfill our requirements and wishes in the best way. The decisive criteria were the high image quality, the integrated sensors and the extensive range of functions of the cameras. Depending on the situation, it is important for us to record permanently or event-controlled based on movement, infrared signal or certain noise or light conditions. All this is possible with MOBOTIX cameras without using external, additional devices or expensive accessories. Moreover, the cameras are extremely robust, of high quality and maintenance-free."
