Airport Surveillance

• Viseum’s Airport Surveillance Systems fully optimise any network of cameras. They automatically detect, recognise, and follow people from short range to long range, at greater distances than any other Airport Security System.
• Reliably detect with 4 times greater accuracy than any other airport surveillance system in real-world deployments.
• Automatically create and grow your secure database of people, vehicles and watchlists. It scales from matching and following a few hundred people and vehicles to recognising many millions in real time.

Viseum Airport Surveillance Systems automatically detect multiple incidents in all directions at the same time. Viseum’s Airport Surveillance and Security Systems also operate completely automatically. They follow suspects and confirm incidents with high-quality close-up video, even before the alarm is raised. These Airport Security Systems automatically report incidents for rapid response and investigations.

Airport Security Cameras: Airport Surveillance 

The appearance of Viseum’s Intelligent Airport Surveillance Cameras also protects the airport. This deters criminals because they believe that operators watch every airport surveillance camera constantly.

Intelligent surveillance camera for high security airports

Airport surveillance systems across the whole site

Viseum UK provides the most effective Airport Security Systems: they detect, recognise and follow people from short range to long range, covering both Perimeter Surveillance and all movement within areas of an airport. Optimised airport security uses the Viseum Intelligent 360 Security Camera, which contains multiple cameras built inside a single unit. This provides complete panoramic coverage in any direction up to 360°. Each Viseum camera in an airport carries the required number of wide contextual view surveillance cameras for covering the designated areas.

Optimised configuration examples of Airport Surveillance:

• 6 wide contextual view cameras and 1 PTZ Camera for full 360° coverage. Deployed onto airport camera columns.
• 5 wide contextual view cameras and 1 PTZ Camera for 300° coverage. Deployed onto corners of buildings, or airport security lighting columns.
• 3 wide contextual view cameras and 1 PTZ Camera for 180° coverage. Deployed onto the side of airport buildings.

Viseum iVOS (Intelligent Virtual Operator Software)

Viseum iVOS makes better use of airport security personnel. It also reduces the need to train security staff for routine monitoring tasks. Viseum’s iVOS Software Technology Services monitor every camera installed on the network. Analysing incidents, it automatically controls the PTZ Camera to follow, confirm, record and report incidents. The software also performs key but mundane tasks, such as:

• What airport activity to monitor.
• When to monitor the airport for incidents.
• Where to monitor for airport incidents.
• What responses should follow what types of airport incidents.

Airport Security and Surveillance Threat Management Systems

If intruders approach or breach the airport perimeter fence, Viseum’s PTZ camera automatically zooms in and follows them. The system then displays close-up video automatically on surveillance monitors for security response. When the airport’s perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) registers a breach, Viseum’s iVOS F3 (Find, Fix and Follow) Software Technology Services automatically track intruders from where they breach the perimeter and as they circulate. This software will also track the intruders through the airport terminal buildings using the airport’s internal cameras. It tracks them when they move from one camera to another. It will re-identify them if they temporarily disappear and then reappear on other cameras.

Airport Security Baggage System

Our approach for airport security baggage is to visually follow the traveller and the traveller’s baggage. The system shows when the baggage is with the traveller, and when it leaves for the aircraft’s baggage hold. This tracking uses visual biometrics and cross-checks references with other control devices. It links the traveller, the traveller’s location and the traveller’s baggage. The traveller and the baggage meet again automatically at the final destination.

This solves many airport security baggage problems and security risks. It also stops the wrong person collecting a traveller’s baggage and shows if bags are tampered with, whether through terrorism, mistakes or theft.

Baggage and records

Aviation regulators expect records rather than assurances.

This narrated presentation also shows why no one can find a weak point in a protected perimeter. Viseum Thermal and Optical Surveillance Cameras cover every approach.

Airport surveillance systems that reduce operator workload

Airport surveillance systems fail when there are more cameras than people to watch them. Ours decide for themselves where to look closely, and they escalate only what matters. A single mast covers an apron, a parking area or a perimeter arc that once needed several fixed cameras.

Airport operators and government advisors weigh three questions. Firstly, will this detect an intrusion before it reaches airside? Secondly, how many false alarms will the control room absorb each night? Thirdly, what does the system cost to staff and maintain over a decade?

Meeting regulation and proving compliance

Every automatic detection and every operator action carries a timestamp. The monthly reporting also shows response times and incident trends across a full year. In short, an audit becomes an exercise in printing what the system already holds.

What airport surveillance systems cost to run

Staffing dominates the whole-life cost at every airport we have worked with. A security manager also has to fund operators through the night. Because our cameras confirm the cause of an alarm themselves, a small team supervises a very large site. We also upgrade the PTZ cameras and recorders an airport already owns, which protects earlier investment.

Choosing an airport surveillance company

What should an airport ask before choosing a surveillance company?

Whether the system confirms alarms itself, covers landside, airside and long perimeters, works with the cameras already installed, and keeps an evidence trail auditors accept. Viseum does all four.

Does it work with our existing cameras?

Yes. Our engineers upgrade the PTZ cameras and video management system an airport already owns, so earlier investment is protected.
