Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport in Izmir, Turkey, has chosen a unified security product for managing live and recorded video and access control at its new 200,000 square meter domestic terminal and 2,500 space parking garage.
Working with systems installer Sensormatic Guvenlik Hizmetleri, airport operator TAV Airport Holdings and its contracting arm TAV-Ege selected the victor video management system, with multiple VideoEdge network video recorders (NVRs), from Tyco Security Products. The new video surveillance enables the airport to manage new IP cameras in the new terminal as plus the analogue cameras in an existing terminal, on one integrated platform. The VideoEdge NVRs allow multiple streams of video for live or recorded viewing, including alarm-based incidents. Embedded video analytics also helps the airport’s security officers identify and address suspicious activities in real time, including people loitering and objects or luggage left behind. VideoEdge automatically detects objects in certain areas where no people are present to alert security for immediate action, improving response time and simplifying the security operator’s job, Tyco says.
Adil Akkaya, Electric and Electronic Systems Coordinator for TAV Construction and Operation Co, said: “The migration to an IP-based platform was our main goal and we easily achieved that by continuing our relationship with Sensormatic and selecting Tyco Security Products on which to build our surveillance and access system.”
Peter Ainsworth, Director, EMEA Marketing, Tyco Security Products, said: “For Izmir Airport, the decision to go with victor as the primary platform means they can continue to leverage their existing infrastructure whilst stepping up to an IP-based system without missing a beat.”
Using the Software House C•CURE 9000 access control platform for security and event management, Izmir airport security personnel can monitor restricted areas in the terminal, with customs and apron areas. The C•CURE platform also serves as the backbone for integrating CCTV and access control, so operators can view video triggered by alarms. The system also integrates with other systems such as fire, public address and intercom.
