Mobile Video Surveillance during UEFA EURO 2024 – Cologne
The challenge
Hosting UEFA EURO 2024 in Cologne posed a significant security challenge: ensuring the safety of hundreds of thousands of visitors across multiple public areas. These areas ranged from fan zones and stadiums to key traffic intersections. This was in a dense city environment.
The city required a surveillance solution that was highly reliable, scalable, and rapidly deployable. Traditional fixed camera setups were too slow and inflexible, and the public infrastructure, such as cabling and network access, was inconsistent or overloaded during the event.
The combination of fixed units, mobile towers, and live monitoring ensured a safe environment throughout EURO 2024. Nexonik showed that flexibility and high-tech solutions go hand in hand.

The Results
The Nexonik TelescopicMast deployment exceeded expectations during the UEFA EURO 2024 tournament in Cologne. All surveillance units operated without downtime throughout the entire event, even during periods of network congestion and high crowd density.
Seamless integration with the city’s HCOC allowed law enforcement and security teams to respond in real time to crowd surges, potential conflicts, and traffic flow issues. The under-10-minute deployment time enabled quick repositioning. This was an essential feature given the dynamic nature of fan movements across the city.
Furthermore, the system’s presence boosted public confidence, as visible, high-tech surveillance served as a deterrent and a source of reassurance.

The solution used
After reviewing several temporary surveillance options, the City of Cologne selected Nexonik. Nexonik’s TelescopicMast solution stood out due to its unique combination of mobility, quick setup, and network flexibility. Other vendors’ solutions required long setup times or fixed infrastructure, neither of which met the demands of a fast-moving, high-density event.
After being selected, Nexonik collaborated closely with local authorities to identify key risk zones, including fan areas, high-traffic intersections, and bridges. The team deployed 15 surveillance towers, including compact, trailer-based units. Each tower was equipped with AI-enhanced PTZ cameras and connected via LTE, fiber, or point-to-point wireless links.
Setup per unit took less than 10 minutes, enabling quick scaling and repositioning as crowd patterns shifted. Operators at the HCOC were given direct access to all video feeds, providing a live, centralized overview of the event.
