IndigoVision Lands Integrated IP-CCTV Projects for Two Belgian Airports
Two Belgian airports have recently deployed integrated IP
Video technology from IndigoVision, as part of infrastructure and new passenger
terminal projects. Charleroi Brussels South and Liège Airports are located in
the Wallonia region of the country and are operated by SOWAER (Société Wallonne
des Aeroports). The complete security solutions at each airport, which
integrate CCTV surveillance with access control, emergency evacuation and
perimeter protection, were provided by Fabricom, IndigoVision’s long-standing
Partner in the region. In excess of 250 new cameras have been installed across
both airports and they are recorded on over 30 IndigoVision standalone Network
Video Recorders (NVRs). Full frame-rate video is continuously recorded from the
new cameras and the legacy systems to provide the authorities with a 14+ day
archive. As it is a distributed system the NVRs can be independently located in
each terminal building to reduce the overall network bandwidth requirement. IndigoVision
and Fabricom have had a long and successful relationship with airport projects
in Belgium. In 2001 Brussels International Airport was a pioneer of IP Video
when it installed what was then the largest networked video CCTV system in
Europe, supplied by the two companies. Nearly a decade on, the 1000+ camera
system is still providing the airport with a leading-edge digital surveillance
solution.
