JAKARTA - The biggest football party of the 2022 World Cup will take place in Qatar in November. Designating eight stadiums as venues, the host will implement super tight security.
To support the security aspect for all visitors, Qatar provides 15 thousand CCTV cameras that can scan the faces of the audience in attendance. Thousands of cameras will be distributed in all activity centers and support areas.
Reporting from Biometricupdate, Friday, the use of CCTV which is connected to the command and control center known as Aspire will later function to detect threats ranging from supporters and infiltration of terrorism.
The same source said that the organizers had set a new standard for security control centers globally. This is nothing but to ensure the safety of the millions of people who will watch the 2022 World Cup.
In addition to CCTV cameras that can scan individual faces, the organizers will also use drones to monitor crowds on city streets during the event.
Later, to be able to access the route to the event location, ticket holders will be controlled through the Hayya Card. In addition, spectators must also complete a digital identity document through a passport scan with high-quality facial images.
To support this step, the organizers in Qatar will also work with several vendors to develop an integrated system to make it easier for visitors.
Because, with visitor forecasts on a large scale, they have to quickly and accurately test the match between real and fake data.
So far NtechLab is reportedly in negotiations to supply cameras with facial recognition technology in Qatar. Previously, the company also supplied high-tech cameras for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
In terms of network and infrastructure providers at the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has collaborated with Huawei. The collaboration will bring the City Intelligent Twins smart city platform together with 5G, AR, VR, and video technologies meant to enhance the participants' experience.
Industry sources point out that Huawei is a system integrator for facial recognition capabilities. However, sources say that the company has yet to divulge what kind of facial recognition system will be used at the 2022 World Cup.
