Dallas Love Field Airport Showcases Security Operations To Latin American Delegation

  • May 18, 2010

Avigilon, provider of high definition and megapixel video surveillance systems, announced that one of its customers, Love Field Airport in Dallas, is being showcased today to a delegation of airport executives from Latin America.

Sponsored by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency and managed by the American Association of Airport Executives, the Dallas Love Field airport tour will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn about successful airport modernization projects, including the development of advanced safety and security procedures and environmental standards as well as upgrades to airport ground services and maintenance practices.

“We are pleased to host this group of senior airport executives and show them the benefits of our advanced Security Operations Center that features the Avigilon Control Center Network video management software,” said Diego Rincon, assistant director of aviation with the City of Dallas, Department of Aviation.

The Love Field Modernization Program will renovate and expand Dallas Love Field airport, creating a cohesive, modern facility that will serve the needs of Dallas citizens and travelers for many years to come. The LFMP renovations include a new centralized concourse with 20 gates, a remodeled lobby, expanded baggage claim area, and a new ticketing wing.

The modernization program also includes the installation of a new state-of-the-art HD surveillance system from Avigilon. The first phase of the program included the replacement of two existing surveillance systems with the Avigilon HD surveillance system, the installation of encoders to leverage the airport’s existing 80 analog cameras and the addition of more than 40 new Avigilon megapixel HD cameras.

Future phases will replace all analog cameras with new megapixel cameras, add hundreds of new megapixel cameras, and eliminate the two remaining separate surveillance systems.

"Before the launch of the modernization program, Love Field had four separate video surveillance systems which made it challenging for law enforcement to monitor activities and airport officials to maintain these systems,” said Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales and marketing for Avigilon. “The Love Field Modernization Program is transforming the Dallas Love Field airport into a benchmark for best practices in airport efficiency, service and security. We are honored to have the opportunity to also showcase the benefits of the Avigilon HD surveillance system to the delegation of Latin American airport executives.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
