Author : Zainab Al Qaisi


         



• What are the features of the system, which must be used in an Airport?
What an airport needs should be highly reliable, flexible and long distance transmission across large area, a system that can secure practically every facet of airport operations; from concourses, parking garages, and perimeters to employees, travelers, and cargos. A kind of video surveillance, which helps airport authorities increase situational awareness, improves emergency preparedness and response, and expedites investigations.

• What is the most convenient kind of security cameras to use in Airports?
Airport security systems have to be able to protect more than just the airport terminals. The ideal surveillance system for an airport ensures the security of the airport, the perimeter of the airport, and each plane. Regular and hidden closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras help keep the aircrafts safe because the crew can monitor everyone boarding. Not just using a traditional CCTV system can do this, but also there is another convenient security system for Airport, that is IP Security Systems.

• What are the two main features of IP security systems?
1. Real Time: IP Camera System records events in real time, and provides triggering alerts and warnings of continuous events in case a suspicious activity is detected such as blocking, covering, spray-painting or redirection. It also provides an automatic analysis, which makes these cameras more productive means of surveillance, and efficient monitoring devices of large areas such as Airports. Real time surveillance is directed to any place over the internet, apparently; operators can watch baggage claims, check-ins and other hazardous areas from all over the world including police stations, customs rooms and fire and medic aids. This real time remote surveillance offered with IP cameras is something no airport should be without.

2. High Resolution: IP camera is the perfect choice regarding the clarity of images because of it is highly and various resolutions, it is at least four times clearer more than the traditional CCTV system. IP system has higher image quality, full image details, progressive scan and more accurate and specific information. It also has different aspect of rations. IP cameras have wider color spectrum than traditional CCTV; better color representation, full frame rate, and wide screen format. Moreover, that what exactly is needed in Airports, IP systems have the ability of faces’ identification because of the clear image, which it produce, the thing that is crucial in any dangerous or suspicious situation.

3. Ease of view and switch: IP camera system gives you the ability run a number of cameras on one surveillance network; and to view each on one screen. The available software enables one person to switch between cameras; some allow you to view scenes and videos over your mobile phone, which gives you the ability to manage it from any location.


• Why must Airport install security systems?
1. Fighting Terrorism. It is an unfortunate fact that airports are targets for terrorist activity. Because of that, it is 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.
2. Protecting Properties. Millions of air passengers, who pass through airports every day, require the highest levels of security. In addition, within the airport itself, theft incidents might happen and IP security cameras can prevent that by proactive and post-active procedures from the security department by catching the suspected person or the committer.

Why an airport must have Security Operation Center?
The Safety & Security Operation Center centralizes, integrates and fuses data coming from the supervision centers (critical alarms, CCTV, access control…), and provides a common operational picture. The Centre is also a management tool for security personnel, which allocate resource, plan and assign interventions, and reallocate airport resources according to the security policies and procedures of airport.

Airports are crucial places to be protected due to its importance regarding tourism and business, if the country’s airports are not perfectly protected, any businessman, foreigner and tourist would think a dozen times before going to a country, which has many security problems. Thus, installing security cameras especially IP security systems can assist the security process in a great way.
