Since the deployment of Axis solutions at V & A, the precinct has grown and evolved, owing to the addition of the Silo district. It is scheduled to undergo a multi-phased R20 billion( US $ 1.1 billion) expansion and upgrade starting in 2025, representing a significant investment in terms of local construction and property development.
With expansion comes the need to determine new security risks and considerations. At the same time new structures are going up, the precinct’ s security and compliance team is working hard to assess the strategic placement of additional security products and personnel.
“ Thanks to years-long experience and a clear understanding of our security needs, we are staying true to our vision of the V & A Waterfront remaining a safe and secure place. What makes our partnership with Axis so lucrative and successful is the ways in which its results extend beyond security and surveillance. Axis solutions let us learn more about ourselves, assist our tenants, enhance the experience of all our visitors and optimise our operations overall,” Sandmann concluded.

An approach powered by analytics
With almost 24 million visitors annually, V & A faces a significant challenge in terms of foot traffic and crowd control. Leveraging a full management support solution that includes Axis cameras and ondevice analytics, control room operators can track the movement of all visitors and identify any suspicious or abnormal behaviour. People counting analytics for the different districts generates foot traffic data, which can be collated with sales data to create valuable insights for the precinct and its tenants.
The deployment of Axis technologies and hardware upgrades have also enabled V & A to identify roads, junctions, or parking areas that experience a high volume of traffic, all thanks to on-camera analytics. These insights are useful in developing and executing response plans to the challenges particular areas may face.
Traffic management is and remains a major challenge throughout the City of Cape Town, one that V & A is tackling head-on due to integrated vehicle counting software. Additionally, using licence plate recognition software, operators can track vehicles that were involved in security incidents and can instantly identify and monitor them from the moment they enter the precinct to the moment they leave.
