Description[ ]
In 2010, Axis Communications partnered with TMVS to deploy a networked camera system for the World Cup stadium in Mbombela. The use of facial recognition is listed.
The megapixel resolution of the AXIS 216MFD Network Camera prompted TVMS to select this high-performance camera to monitor the turnstiles where facial recognition of fans entering the stadium is vital. The AXIS 216MFD offers a discreet, tamper-resistant solution for meticulous monitoring 1
