Event Sector: The Use of PSIM Software for Event Security, Crowd Management, and Incident Response

Event organisation can be a real challenge for organisers, especially when it comes to ensuring participants’ safety while offering an unforgettable experience. PSIM software is a real-time surveillance and management technology that can help address these challenges. In this article, we will take a closer look at how it can be used for event security, crowd management and incident response.

PSIM software : What is it?

PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) software is a surveillance technology that enables real-time collection and analysis of data from the systems of your cameras, sensors, badges, and other surveillance devices. This technology allows for 360-degree view surveillance, providing a complete view of the event and its surroundings. It can be used to monitor high-risk areas, detect suspicious behaviour, track crowd movements, provide alerts, and manage incidents(link to Incident Manager page)  in real-time.

Participants’ safety is an absolute priority when organising an event. Organisers must be prepared to deal with all kinds of incidents, including dangerous behaviour, vandalism, theft, assault, and terrorist threats. A PSIM software can help ensure safety by providing real-time 360-degree surveillance. Organisers and security personnel can be instantly alerted to any suspicious behaviour or unauthorised activity because of an immediate increase in situational awareness. In addition, PSIM software allows for a quick and coordinated response in the event of an incident, which can help reduce damage and minimise risks for participants thanks to the ability to respond quick and efficiently as well as the ability to communicate with all levels of security operators and emergency services.

-         FIFA World Cup in Russia (2018)

-         Cannes Film Festival (2021)

-         Dakar Rally (2020)

-         Fête de la Musique in Nantes (2019)

In all these cases, PSIM software(link to PSIM software page has been used to ensure the safety of participants and spectators during high-risk events. Cameras have been used to monitor competition sites, stadiums, race sites and high-risk areas, as well as quickly detect suspicious behaviour, enabling a fast and effective response to incidents.

PSIM software is a real-time event surveillance and management technology that can help ensure participants’ safety, manage crowds, and respond to incidents. This technology is increasingly being used in major events such as the Olympics, festivals, and races, to ensure the success of the event and the safety of all.

PSIM-software like Sky-Walker Open Integration Platform is used to integrate all safety, security, and comfort subsystems into one easy-to-handle interface. Operators can quickly solve an incident because they do not have to consult multiple subsystems, like CCTV, HVAC, fire detectors, intrusion detectors and many more. When an alarm occurs, the software will immediately and automatically provide the camera footages of the incident location. This increases the situational awareness and provides an opportunity to validate the incident immediately, reducing the number of false alarms and interventions at once.

Because of the incident management platform, an automated and custom-made workflow will start. It is possible to call emergency services automatically, open or close doors to open an evacuation route or close entrance to the incident location, preventing people from running towards the unsafe area in panic. Virtually every safety and security subsystem can be integrated into Sky-Walker. This means faster response, efficient incident management, and calmness instead of stressfulness.

On top of that, our strong and intuitive PSIM platform ensures ease of work. Allowing the operators to get only one education of the PSIM software instead of having to be trained in using each subsystem independently. 

This all does not necessarily mean that your event will be safer. What it does mean is that in case of an incident, the situation can be solved much quicker and effectively. This allows the operators to restore safety and make sure that the incident does not escalate. The operators can go home after a busy day, with ease of mind instead of stressed out from the difficult tasks presented to them and the difficulty to solve those tasks.
