IndigoVision IP Video Technology Helping To Protect Qatar Airport

  • Jun 11, 2007
IP video security systems manufacturer IndigoVision has completed an integrated system at Doha International Airport (DIA) in Qatar consisting of more than 600 cameras and 200 access control points.

In addition to the GE Secure Perfect Access Control solution used at DIA, IndigoVision’s IP video system provides interfaces to Cardax and Lenel OnGuard systems, with Software House in development. IndigoVision also freely supplies an Integration Kit to allow third party development of Access Control interfaces. This dual approach is an open-platform solution, ensuring an integrated system can be supplied to cover the majority of access control applications around the world.

Control Center, IndigoVision’s management software, is the ideal place to consolidate alarms from an integrated IP security system as CCTV is the application most monitored by security staff. Not only can Control Center interface to access control alarms but to intruder security, plant and building management alarms also. IndigoVision manufactures an IP alarm panel unit that allows hardwired I/O to be interfaced onto the IP network -- completing one of the most comprehensive IP security solutions currently available.

Installed by IndigoVision’s local partner Capital Technology WLL, the open-architecture solution at DIA is fully integrated across the airport’s LAN using Control Center management software.

Control Center allows operators to monitor live video feeds and recorded footage from the NVR as well as status information and alarms from the access control system. The tight integration of the Access Control and video management in Control Center allows the virtual matrix to be driven by alarm events, e.g. a salvo of cameras can be displayed when an alarm is raised from a given access point. Events within Control Center are generated and logged for card swipes, illegal access and tamper detect.

“In our technical evaluation IndigoVision’s system scored 87 percent, well ahead of the other systems tested,” said Sourav Sinha of the IT department at Qatar Airways, the managing authority for DIA. “We were particularly impressed with IndigoVision’s ability to deliver very high quality video with minimal bandwidth, its integration with the Access Control and alarm systems and the powerful features of the video management software.”
