Open Platform Meets Tough Demands
The Milestone VMS was selected in large part due to its easy integration with nearly any third-party system. In Terminal One the VMS had to support older analog systems and cameras via encoders, also supporting a variety of IP cameras, integrating with access control and the NVRs used by vendors. The result has been a system that provides JFK Terminal One with greater access to video and advanced capabilities, including viewing video on mobile devices.
“The versatility of the system is great and it’s so easy to use,” said the head of se- curity for Terminal One Management (name omitted for security reasons). “From a security standpoint, we can capture what we need on a daily basis and it gives us great visibility into areas we never had before.”
The system is scalable and can accommodate additional or new cameras at any time. Terminal One’s new Axis cameras easily integrate with the Milestone system and require less bandwidth that will allow the security team to meet the airport’s lengthy storage requirements. Axis provides a wide range of cameras for many applications, which even address the areas where lighting was a concern, like near windows or in stairwells. When a legacy camera fails or no longer meets the needs of the terminal, it will be replaced with an Axis IP network camera.
Robust, Easy-to-Use System
Terminal One’s system provides broader coverage and features that make it easier to automatically monitor possible security concerns, such as an item left unattended. It also allows the security team to watch for suspicious people, monitor situations and investigate after the fact.
Users now have shortcuts and keyboard assignments to easily change views or cre- ate camera setback positions. Through integration with the access control system, the display will also automatically show all alarms and doors being accessed.
