Brussels Airport continues its commitment to IP video with new upgrade

Brussels, Belgium

In 2001 Brussels International Airport was a pioneer of IP vdeo when it installed what was then the largest networked video CCTV system in Europe. Based on IndigoVision's IP Video technology the 700+ camera system was installed using their existing LAN and interfaced to the Airport Management System. One of the main reasons for choosing an IP Video solution from IndigoVision was its flexibility and scalability which would accommodate the Airport's growth plans and allow a smooth migration path to newer technology in the future.

Six years on Brussels Airport is benefiting from their early decision to deploy IP Video by upgrading their current IndigoVision 6000 series technology with the latest series 8000 MPEG-4 product. As well as providing DVD quality video the 8000 series will give Brussels Airport access to real time analytics. Managed by IndigoVision's local partner Fabricom GTI, Security Division, all 800 of the original series 6000 transmitter/receiver units will eventually be replaced with over 1000 of the new 8000 units by the end of 2007, providing additional surveillance in addition to the benefits of the newer technology. The Airport Management System has also been updated to allow both 6000 and 8000 series units to work alongside each other during the upgrade process.

The CCTV system operates over the whole 3,706 acre site of the airport and provides surveillance footage for many departments, including police, fire service, customs, baggage handling and airport operations, via PC workstations or one of
