AIRPORT SECURITY
The cameras are used for a wide range of applications. Inside the building they monitor the security and baggage check, the waiting areas, the offices and flight tower as well as the convenience stores. Outside the terminals they check the airport perimeter areas and all access points to the airport as well as the airfield and runway. Bosch cam- eras with starlight technology provide clear images regardless of lighting conditions, de- livering full color images in the dark beyond the point where other cameras turn to mono- chrome images.
Fulfilling a key requirement set by ASUR, all new cameras in Terminal 4 are in- tegrated into one video security solution that includes the existing cameras of Terminals 1, 2 and 3. The Bosch Video Management System (BVMS) serves as the joint platform to centrally manage almost 1,800 cameras across the four terminals, including their re- cordings. The video streams of all cameras are safely stored on multiple Bosch DIVAR IP 6000 network video recording units with 92 Terabytes of available storage capacity.
Managing Data Volume
For reliable and easy management of the large data volumes, the video security solu- tion includes four Video Recording Manag- ers (VRM) from Bosch. The VRMs enable the cameras to stream relevant video data directly to the available DIVAR IP storage devices without the use of network servers. This saves costs and server maintenance while eliminating a possible single point of
failure, thus increasing reliability. The avail- able storage capacity is used most efficiently because the VRMs automatically balance the video stream load to the free storage volumes. Less redundant storage is required, and it is easier to respect retention times with minimal risk of overwriting.
Cancun Airport uses a central monitor- ing center, manned with 10 security manag- ers around the clock. Every security manager has a screen that shows video captured by up to 25 cameras. To monitor the video cam- eras, security personnel can select camera positions manually, or they are automatically notified by alarms in the event of predefined alarm rules being breached based on the cameras’ built-in video analytics or motion detection.
Airports have considerable security chal- lenges and incredibly demanding criteria for the technology used to protect passengers and employees and to prevent risks. With many different areas needing to be moni- tored, including perimeters, terminals and other passenger facilities, it is essential to have a comprehensive video surveillance so- lution. Cancun Airport serves as an excel- lent example of how a redesigned video sys- tem can enhance security
for even the busiest of airports.
