Airport Digital Security Camera
Video Surveillance is an essential component of any airport’s security plan. The effectiveness of airport security cameras is critical in protecting passengers, employees and facilities from threats of terrorism and other criminal activity. Airports demand the highest level of security available, and when it comes to video surveillance, this is where cutting-edge technology such as digital megapixel cameras with advanced video analytics can be particularly valuable.
Video Analytics
In airports, where the threat of terrorism is very real, the latest advancements in video surveillance technology are beginning to play a key role as part of a greater security effort. Many airports are beginning to utilize intelligent security cameras. These digital cameras feature built-in video analytics that operate using software algorithms in order to spot predetermined events that could be potential threats. Examples of suspicious activity that smart cameras monitor for in airports include abandoned luggage, loiterers, people moving the wrong way through a check point, erratic movement, and vehicles spending a significant amount of time in a parking spot. Once a camera detects such activity, operators are alerted and security personal can quickly be deployed to scene as needed. The main goal of video analytics in airport surveillance is to raise the level of proactive detection – to stop threats before they are carried out.
Megapixel Cameras
High definition megapixel cameras are also being utilized in the effort to enhance airport security. Megapixel IP cameras have a higher dynamic range than conventional CCTV cameras and have significantly higher resolution capabilities. In airports, one of the major benefits of using megapixel cameras is that they provide detailed images that can be used to identify specific individuals with greater speed and accuracy than lower-resolution cameras. Facial-recognition is another form of video analytics that many are hoping will prove to be a particularly effective tool in combating terrorism and criminal threats in airports. Since megapixel cameras provide clear and detailed images, and collect a higher amount of visual information, they are particularly well-suited for conducting facial-recognition analytics. This technology can be used in airports to identify terrorist suspects and marked criminals from government watch lists as they enter or move through a facility.
