As ESPN continues to bring football fans closer to the action, they are testing Pylon Cams during NFL preseason games. These pylons are custom built and include multiple cameras within each pylon and placed on the goal line.

ESPN debuted Pylon Cams during January’s inaugural College Football Playoffs and has since been working with the NFL to further safety enhancements and picture quality.

The updated Pylon Cams include four cameras in each and placed on each side of the goal lines and at each end of the field. The high-end cameras, custom-made in-ground wiring with easy break-away connections into the pylon. The pylon is also designed to compress on impact. The new features were the result of collaborations with micro-camera manufacturer BSI and pylon manufacturer Gilman Gear.

The goal is to eventually utilize the Pylon cams during regular season games of Monday Night Football, which begins Sept. 14, and even talks of some college football broadcasts.
