Safety and Security in our nation’s airports are becoming one of the biggest concerns for today’s travelers. With the spotlight shining on Airport Security, staff, and the measures they have in place, the utilization of outdated analog equipment could prove to be a real oversight. Safety in the sky starts on the ground with the identification and apprehension of unauthorized travelers.
Suspicious activities can be hard to detect, and even impossible if the surveillance equipment used provides images that are inferior. Over just the last few years, Video Surveillance has made strides by leaps and bounds. Analog cameras are typically limited to D1 Resolution which is approximately 0.3 Megapixels or 640x480. IP Cameras with 5 times the resolution capabilities are widely available and comparably priced. In an environment where the smallest details can literally save thousands of lives and prevent national disasters, deploying the best technology while maintaining your budget makes complete sense. Today’s IP Camera systems provide more than just video evidence; Combined with analytics and intelligence these systems can quickly alert personnel when situations arise. These can include unattended bags, wrong flow of foot traffic, people counting, and many other custom alerts. When these alerts are detected security personnel can be instantly notified by a variety of methods including text, page, email etc.
