Malaysia Airport Uses IP Video Technology

  • May 17, 2007

Senai International Airport, one of Malaysia's fastest growing airport hubs has installed IndigoVision’s IP video technology to provide sitewide CCTV surveillance. The airport is located at the southern gateway of the Malaysian Peninsula in one of the country's strategic development zones, the newly launched Iskandar Development Region. The airport has both a passenger terminal and a separate logistics and cargo complex, with plans to handle 2 million tons of cargo a year and become a regional logistics airport for Southeast Asia.

A completely new surveillance system has been installed in the passenger terminal together with an upgrade to the existing analog CCTV system in the cargo complex. The airport has a good IT network infrastructure and wanted a CCTV system that would be easily expanded in the future. The system was designed and installed by IndigoVision’s local partner ICSS Electronics Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

“Following an extensive in-house technical and user evaluation of competing systems, the Airport chose IndigoVision’s IP video technology. The video quality is better than the other systems which we had reviewed, and the flexibility, ease of use and functions of the Control Center software impressed the evaluation team,” said Kennedy Ayu, airport general manager.

Control Center is IndigoVision’s video and alarm management software. The software allows operators to view live and recorded video from any camera at any point on the network. This flexibility was exploited at Senai International Airport with the positioning of several Control Center workstations around the airport and was one of the factors for the airport choosing the IndigoVision solution. The Control Center software coupled with NVRs provide Senai International Airport up to 30 days of video recording and a suite of tools for fast search and analysis of recorded footage.

More than 40 new cameras, including 13 Pelco Spectra PTZ domes, were added to the original analog system in the cargo complex. Each camera is connected to an IndigoVision 8000 transmitter module which converts the analog camera feed to MPEG-4 DVD quality digital video for transmission over the network. The existing cargo CCTV system was interfaced to the IP video system via IndigoVision 8000 10-way rack-mounted transmitters connected to the network. This allowed the original investment in the cameras and local control room equipment to be maintained and at the same time allowed full control and monitoring at the passenger terminal security control room. The resulting hybrid system demonstrates IP video can be an ideal solution for upgrading existing analog CCTV systems with the benefits of networked video.
