Case Study: Nationwide Arena achieves real-time AI security monitoring with Hailo and Thrive Logic

Thrive Logic secures 350-camera arena with Hailo

Thrive Logic, a provider of video management and AI analytics solutions, faced the challenge of modernizing the outdated and costly security system at Nationwide Arena, home of the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. The existing system was composed of disparate components that were difficult to manage and lacked AI capabilities for proactive alerts. The security director sought a unified platform to manage all 350 cameras and enable advanced situational awareness.

The solution implemented by Thrive Logic used its video management software powered by Hailo AI accelerators installed on enterprise servers. By retrofitting the existing cameras with Hailo's Century 0804 PCIe cards, the system gained powerful, cost-effective AI analytics for tasks like people counting and zone management without overloading the central infrastructure. This provided a robust and scalable AI/ML pipeline that enhanced bandwidth efficiency, reduced power consumption, and delivered a highly effective unified security system for the arena.
