Access Control

Airport base access

by Mark Rowe

At Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries’ main base at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, the CEM AC2000 security management system has been fitted. SAEI joins airports and aviation maintenance facilities around the world where the CEM product is providing security.

Riyadh Bakedo, Director Plant & Equipment Maintenance from Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries, said: “The powerful CEM AC2000 security management system is providing high levels of security to our main maintenance base in Jeddah. CEM’s S610 intelligent readers provide access control restrictions to highly secure airside areas such as administration offices and aircraft hangers, while CEM biometric readers enable us to control staff access to our airside warehouse. We are very happy with the AC2000 system, which is set to grow and expand further.”

CEM’s S610 intelligent IP card readers come with an LCD display, keypad and on-board database offering intelligence at the door. A reader will continue to operate and store transactions offline, and avoiding system downtime. The S610 readers also feature door modes such as Turnstile, Control Post and Validation mode. This enables the S610f readers to secure turnstiles to monitor staff attendance into SAEI aircraft hangers and warehouse. The S610f reader offers three levels of identity checks – ID card authentication, PIN check and fingerprint verification.

As an all-in-one Tyco Security solution, Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) has over 350 American Dynamics Illustra IP cameras installed. The Illustra 400 IP cameras have been in operation at SAEI for over two years.

VideoEdge Network Video Recorders (NVRs ) are also used to provide video management. VideoEdge records and manages video from the high-definition Illustra cameras and enables multiple video streams for live and recorded video collection.

Using an intuitive victor unified client, Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) can centrally manage and control all live/recorded video from multiple VideoEdge NVRs.
