Video Surveillance and Burglar Alarms for Airports and Airport Terminals
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
If you're wondering
who stands to benefit most from the exciting advancements
being made in video surveillance technology in recent years,
look no further than the nearest major airport. Airports have
a lot to deal with when it comes to security. From facing
the ever-present threat of terrorism, to enforcing strict
rules and regulations, airport security personnel operate
in a fast-paced environment that offers no room for mistakes.
IP surveillance technology and new innovations in video analytics
are helping to raise airport security to new heights.

Benefits
of Digital Video Surveillance for Airport Terminals |
|
| |
- Combat terrorism - It's an unfortunate
fact that airports are targets for terrorist activity.
For that reason, it's vitally important that airports
employ extremely strict security measures. Video surveillance
systems play a key role in protecting against acts of
terrorism. The proper system will provide authorities
with invaluable tools in their efforts to maintain the
highest possible levels of security.
- Provide real-time surveillance to multiple departments
- With Digital surveillance enabling digital surveillance
streams to travel over the internet, operators in various
airport departments such as police, customs, fire and
medic, baggage, and airport operations, can all monitor
the video feeds from separate PC workstations.
- Advanced video analytics - Intelligent
cameras with built-in video analytics are beginning to
play a significant role in airport security. These cameras
utilize software algorithms to detect specific activities
and scan for suspicious individuals. For instance, cameras
with facial recognition technology work to help authorities
find terrorist threats and marked individuals on government
watch lists. Using behavioral recognition technology,
cameras can be programmed to detect incidents such as
left objects, congestion, reverse movement through checkpoints,
and cars spending too much time parked in one spot outside
of the building. With these features running through cameras
themselves, the analytics operate in real-time.
- Flexibility and scalability - Digital
video surveillance systems are scalable, meaning they
can grow as needed, or as the airport grows. Additional
cameras are easily connected to the network, and pre-existing
analog cameras can even be incorporated into new systems
by using digital encoders.
- Digital storage - With Digital surveillance,
video footage is recorded and stored digitally, unlike
analog systems which archive footage on clunky cassette
tapes. This allows for an almost unlimited amount of storage,
and also provides users with drastically enhanced search
capabilities.
- Remote access - Digital-based surveillance
systems send live video streams over the internet, where
they can be viewed, along with archived footage, remotely
from any PC with network access. This allows authorized
users to monitor airport activities from off-site locations.

Risks
of Airport Surveillance Systems
|
|
| |
- Over reliance - An advanced video surveillance
network is only one part of a larger effort when it comes
to airport security. New technology can go a long way
in aiding this cause, but it shouldn't come at the expense
of other safety measures such as proper security personnel
staffing.

Configuration
of Video Surveillance Systems for Airports
|
|
| |
Airports feature
a number of diverse areas that all demand extremely high levels
of security. The following factors should be considered when
exploring the installation of an airport surveillance system: |
|
| |
- What is the airport's history in terms of reported crimes
and disturbances?
- What security systems are currently in place throughout
the airport?
- What type of security personnel patrol the facility?
- Have terrorist plots been attempted or carried out through
the airport?
- Does the airport consist of separate sections linked
by a tram or other modes of transportation?
- Does the airport get extremely busy and chaotic at certain
points throughout the day?
- Are security checkpoints properly staffed and thorough
in their procedures?
- Are there sections of the facility that are considered
high-risk areas requiring special attention?
- What systems are in place to prevent outsiders from
gaining access to restricted areas?
- How is employee identification and access control handled?
- What security measures are in place to protect planes
and equipment?

Security Camera Setup Advice for
Airport Terminals |
|
| |
- Position cameras at all entrances and exits in order
to capture footage of everyone who passes through the
airport.
- Monitor all open areas to get continuous overall footage
of airport activity.
- Situate cameras around airline check-in areas to obtain
images of passenger arrivals and procedures.
- Monitor security checkpoints for congestion, suspicious
activity, confrontations, and passengers who present potential
threats.
- Install surveillance for trams or other modes of transportation
used to connect one part of the airport to another.
- Monitor individual terminals and gates for unusual activity
in the boarding process and suspicious passengers.
- Install cameras in baggage claim areas to prevent theft
and to watch for potentially dangerous items.
- Monitor corridors and all areas used for traveling throughout
terminals.
- Install cameras that provide views of restricted areas
to ensure that only authorized personnel gain access.
