Whitepaper: Enhancing security, resilience and efficiency across a range of industries

Infinova cameras and analytics counter terrorist threat at Indian airports

Over 846 Infinova video surveillance cameras – including high-speed PTZ domes, mini-domes and fixed cameras, many with vandal-resistant day/night functionality – in addition to the company’s DVRs and switchers have been selected by airport authorities to combat terrorism and increase security at 22 airports in India.

The Infinova cameras and security equipment are seamlessly integrated with advanced video analytics software from Videonetics designed specifically for airport security. .

As one of the world’s largest countries, air transport is critical to India’s economy and, as a matter of routine, protecting airports from terrorist attacks is a high priority for the air transport authorities.

Those authorities selected the Infinova/Videonetics solution from over 20 leading manufacturers in the global security industry.

Airports to be covered by the new security systems

The 22 airports covered by the solution include Tirupati Airport, serving one of the busiest pilgrimage centres in the world and Agra Airport which enables tourist traffic for the Taj Mahal.

Other airports benefiting from the new security regime include Agatti, Jaisalmer, Chandigarh, Dimapur, Gaya, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Jorhat, Lengpui, Lilabari, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Nagpur, Patna, Shimla, Silchar, Tezpur, Trichy, Vizag and Varanasi.

“The competition was tough,” said Milind Borkar, Infinova’s vice-president of sales for India and the Middle East. “The analytics features that would meet the advanced requirements for the airports helped us to win the day.”

Single, seamless system solution

Infinova makes it possible for IP and analogue surveillance cameras and equipment to co-exist and be managed as a single seamless system solution, helping integrators generate more business by being able to say ‘Yes’ to a broader scope of projects.

The company provides megapixel, IP and analogue surveillance cameras, including specialised cameras, Control Room equipment, fibre optic communications and customised systems.

The ‘Infinova solution’ enables end users to extend the life of their existing analogue equipment by having it co-exist with their new IP video equipment.

Infinova prides itself in partnering with brand-leader manufacturers to create Best-in-Class solutions and certifies the functionality of its partners’ solutions when integrated with Infinova products.

Sophisticated video surveillance

Videonetics designs, develops and provides leading-edge video analytics software products to enable “highly sophisticated and intelligent” video surveillance systems.

The company’s innovative V2A platform offers real-time video analytics processing for the detection and tracking of people, traffic and other classifiable objects.

In addition, the company’s server product provides pioneering features such as event-based indexing, event-based archiving and event-based retrieval, event-based logging and messaging.

Video analytics and intelligent video content processing technology can substantially reduce operating and capital costs for many video surveillance system end users while at the same time improving systems’ overall performance and reliability.
