Case Study: SGL Arena achieves reduced liability, regulatory compliance and faster investigations with Avigilon high-definition surveillance

SGL Arena - Customer Case Study

SGL Arena in Augsburg, Germany—a 30,660‑seat stadium that regularly hosts large, sometimes rowdy crowds—needed a reliable way to monitor stands to ensure spectator safety, meet strict German Football Association regulations, and reduce liability costs. Stadium security required a complete, easy‑to‑use surveillance overview to identify incidents early and document responsibility.

Working with Casesolution and Avigilon, SGL Arena deployed Avigilon Control Center NVMS with HDSM, 16 MP HD Pro cameras and an Avigilon NVR storing up to 30 days of footage, all monitored live in a central control room. The system delivers indisputable high‑quality evidence, halves investigation time, enables the stadium to hold offenders financially accountable (reducing liability and confirming regulatory compliance), improves spectator behavior, and provided a strong ROI within the first year.
