Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya Mosque) in Istanbul—originally built in 537 AD and today a UNESCO World Heritage
landmark—welcomes millions of visitors each year. After its reconversion to a mosque in 2020, the site required a modern, reliable video surveillance system to safeguard both visitors and priceless historical assets.
“With close to 300 centrally managed cameras, special zones are continuously monitored—supporting fast response and preservation at Hagia Sophia.”
Legacy NVRs and standard IP cameras lacked centralized monitoring and modern analytics, creating blind spots and delayed incident response.
Restricted zones needed stronger protection and automated alerts on violations.
Large, fluctuating visitor flows demanded accurate counting, visual reporting, and actionable insights to guide staffing and crowd management.
The site needed a unified system to standardize operations across diverse areas without disrupting worship or visitor experience.
265 Milesight cameras, managed centrally by Axxon One VMS, were deployed across the 7,000 m² complex, providing continuous coverage and clear evidence for security operations and heritage protection.
Milesight network cameras are positioned at entrances/exits, galleries, and courtyards to remove blind spots. Stable streams and balanced exposure in mixed lighting (indoors, skylights, doorways) preserve readable detail during peak hours, supporting supervision and post-event review.
All 265 cameras are unified under Axxon One VMS for live monitoring, event handling, and rapid video search. Operators work from a facility map, switch layouts on demand, and retrieve recordings quickly for investigations.
Deep compatibility between Milesight cameras and Axxon One enables AI-enabled human detection for perimeter security and virtual boundaries on restricted areas and historical walls, triggering real-time alarms for unauthorized access or suspicious activity.
The system provides visitor counting, dashboards, and visual reports on Axxon One. These analytics depend on clean, stable video—especially in dense, fast-moving crowds. Milesight cameras stay clear in mixed lighting and crowded scenes, reducing missed faces and overlaps, which helps system deliver steadier counting and reports.
