Knowledge
Expertise for safe events.
What counts as “too crowded”? How does an announcement become intelligible? How much parking does a festival need? We explain the foundations MOVETOS OPS works on – with sources.
- Case study
Case study: a 1.2 km family festival without cables
Case study of the Rhein-Kreis Neuss family festival at Schloss Dyck: 25,000 visitors, 1.2 km site, no cables – live picture, announcements, night watch.
Read - Markets and fairs
Christmas market and fair safety: reassessing traditional events
Traditional events, new demands: many entrances, bottlenecks, rides with their own music, evening hours – and cable-free announcements and live monitoring.
Read - Visitor counting
Counting visitors with cameras: how many are on site?
Counting at entrances or measuring density in areas? How cameras capture visitors, where accuracy ends and why no video needs to be stored.
Read - Crowd management
Crowd density at events: when does it get too crowded?
People per m², Fruin's Level of Service, sensible warning levels and how cameras can measure density – the essentials for organisers and authorities.
Read - Announcements
Event announcements: intelligible, multilingual and resilient
How to make public announcements at events understood: speech intelligibility (STI), sound levels, loudspeaker zones, languages, prepared messages and offline operation.
Read - Parking
Event parking: how many cars fit – and is it enough?
Bays, aisles, fire access, entrances and queuing space: how to size parking next to an event – and check whether it will be enough.
Read - Standards & regulations
Event safety plans: standards for monitoring, alerts and PA
Which rules apply to crowd density, evacuation, public address and record-keeping at events – and what they mean for the technology you deploy.
Read - Perimeter protection
Mobile site surveillance: off-grid CCTV for construction sites
Protecting construction sites and properties without power or network: mobile camera towers, perimeters, lighting, loudspeakers and data protection.
Read - Planning
Planning cameras, loudspeakers and radio links on site
How to position mobile security technology well: coverage, sight lines, public address, cable-free radio links, control room and budget – calculated transparently.
Read - Procurement
Procuring security technology: function first, then devices
Why individual cameras and loudspeakers do not add up to security infrastructure – and how to set functions, requirements and evidence for a contract.
Read - Resilience
Security technology that works through power and network failures
Power cuts, overloaded mobile networks, sudden crowd shifts: what resilient security technology must deliver – with checks for planning and acceptance.
Read - Situational awareness
Situational awareness at events: more than a video wall
What a live operational picture needs – density per area, trends, emergency access, announcement reach, team, alerts – and why camera feeds fall short.
