Hallam FM Arena Sheffield

The Challenge

Hallam FM Arena is a 12,000-seater award-winning indoor stadium, hosting over 150 major events per year. It offers world class hospitality and is also home to the Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey team. Over 1 million people per year visit the Arena, which is managed on behalf of Live Nation Entertainment. Reflex has had a long standing relationship with the Arena, having originally installed a Panasonic CCTV solution several years ago and having developed its relationship with the organisation ever since. The challenge now was to review the system requirements and provide the necessary upgrades to extend coverage, increase health and safety provision, with an element of future-proofing. 

The Solution

A recording equipment upgrade was implemented, with a significant increase in capacity for image storage, and additional capacity for extra cameras to be added. The existing automated number plate recognition (ANPR) system was integrated with the latest generation …………………..
All external and public areas were reviewed to see if latest technologies now available could add value and increase security and/or health and safety provision. The PA/evacuation system recently received a technology upgrade from Reflex. The latest phase of Reflex’s relationship with the Arena is to now install a site-wide electronic access control system, utilising Reflex’s expertise and accreditations as a Honeywell Partner.  The Honeywell Access solution specified and installed by Reflex provides control over all key areas and doors. It also gives the Arena door status monitoring for alarms, monitored by a new central control room. The locking and unlocking of all doors now has visual verification, with all doors opening events monitored and recorded for safety and security purposes.  More effective integration of technologies is now possible, with intruder, access, and CCTV monitoring all fed to the one central control point, enabling maximum effectiveness and efficiency of the building management system.
