Over 400 IP network video cameras have been installed at the border crossing point of Domodedovo International Airport, outside Moscow.
All passengers have to pass though the customs area of the airport to ensure that import duties are paid and for state control bodies to seek to detect smuggling of restricted or forbidden goods.
Management of construction and operations of the State Border Facilities of the Russian Federation (Rosgranstroy) decided to replace its CCTV with an IP network based video system to use high definition cameras.
The Russian installer TELROS Integration was awarded the contract to install the new system after a tender process by the Rosgranstroy. Alexey Savin, CTO of TELROS Integration, said: “We are very pleased to have been entrusted to fulfil this important and prestigious contract. In partnership with Samsung Techwin Europe we were able to design a system that was competitively priced, but was able to completely meet the demanding tender specifications. The price/performance ratio of the Samsung cameras are such that we were able to demonstrate to the client that there was no need to compromise on quality, whilst offering a highly affordable solution.”
Cameras are monitored live 24-7 by officers from a control room within the border crossing point area and are recorded in real-time onto a server based system supplied by video recording product company ITV. Savin said: “The video surveillance system has been integrated with access control and other alarms systems so that the client can gain maximum benefit from the evidence grade images captured by the cameras. Using the video monitoring software supplied by ITV, officers are able to quickly retrieve recorded video to allow them to verify who may have entered a restricted area.”
Among the Samsung cameras installed in the customs area are, SNP-5300H 1.3 megapixel IP network PTZ domes which have a 30x optical zoom that lets operators observe close up detail of far away people or objects without pixilation the makers say. Other models in use include the SND-7061 3 megapixel Full HD network dome cameras, the SND-5061 1.3 megapixel network internal dome and the SNV-6084 WiseNetIII 2MP Full HD network vandal-resistant dome, designed to be resistant to physical attack.
