Genetec ™, a leading provider of unified IP security solutions, announced that MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ) —home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets— has installed the Genetec Security Center system in its 82,500-seat stadium.

Ensuring a safe and secure fan experience is of paramount importance for the stadium, not only for its pro football events, but also for the many international events, concerts and activities each year.

To assist in designing the new system to optimize security operations, MetLife Stadium chose Corporate Security Services, one of the premier security integrators in the New York/New Jersey region. Corporate Security Services recommended Genetec Security Center because it has been successfully installed in other major sports and entertainment venues around the world, and has the power and capabilities to monitor all areas of the facility for improved crowd control and video archiving to facilitate after-the-fact investigations.
