Case Study: Victoria Racing Club achieves proactive, lag-free crowd management and enhanced emergency preparedness with Avigilon

Avigilon Solutions, The Fast Track for Security

Victoria Racing Club (VRC), operator of Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne with over 200 employees and more than 400,000 annual attendees, needed a reliable, easy-to-use surveillance system that could handle heavy live video traffic without lag or crashes, improve crowd and vehicle flow management, and enable fast searches for specific people during incidents.

VRC implemented Avigilon Control Center with self-learning video analytics, Avigilon Appearance Search and H4 PTZ cameras. The solution eliminated system lags and crashes, allowed rapid identification and tracking of people and vehicles, improved situational awareness and crowd control, and shifted security operations from reactive to proactive — prompting plans to expand the system.
