Client’s Needs

The need of FC Barcelona at the Joan Gamper Sports City was to effectively manage and control the large influx of pedestrians and vehicles that visit these facilities on a daily basis. In addition, it was necessary to achieve seamless integration with their security systems.

Solution & Technology

The technological solution provided by Innova has been the installation of our SIRAM OCR5 Access Control software and the SIRAM Compact capture unit at the entrance of the premises for automatic license plate recognition.. Taking into account the constant flow of people and vehicles, as well as the need to monitor access to the premises, FC Barcelona has chosen to combine their access control system at the Joan Gamper facility with our LPR (License Plate Recognition) SIRAM technology to enhance efficiency and security. The access control system used at FC Barcelona’s facilities has posed a great challenge in terms of integrating and synchronizing the LPR system through the Wiegand protocol. SIRAM OCR is an advanced technology that efficiently and accurately enables automatic license plate recognition through the installation of capture units or LPR cameras.

The facilities at the Joan Gamper Sports City of Futbol Club Barcelona require versatile and 100% reliable capture units. Moreover, the SIRAM Compact LPR camera fits perfectly into the available space on the parking access island.
