Airport video management

by Mark Rowe

A case study of the video management software (VMS) for Perth Airport, in Western Australia.

At 570 cameras, the airport security system is amongst the largest surveillance installations in Australia. As one of Australia’s leading airports, it’s handling 13 million passengers each year. It employs over 8,000 staff across multiple sites and has a retail outlet with 120 tenant shops.

Aimetis Symphony has provided Perth with a single platform for new IP network cameras and upgraded, existing analogue cameras. Re-using existing analogue cameras within the same IP CCTV system saves on costs. The Symphony software is also scalable, the makers add, allowing new network cameras to be added as required.

Fiona Lander, Executive General Manager of Perth Airport, said: “The use of network video management software is a critical element of our airport security strategy. After extensive comparisons with leading VMS providers, Aimetis Symphony excelled in terms of reliability, quality and scalability, essential for such a large application. Aimetis Symphony has video analytics included and 20% of the cameras deployed run analytics for combinations of motion tracking, object classification, people and vehicle counting, virtual fence, restricted areas, left and removed object, wrong direction, loitering and dwell time.”
