Chosen for their features as well as their price, Lincoln Park Airport uses twelve VIVOTEK SD7151 IP cameras. The SD7151 is a high performance day/night 18X Zoom Speed Dome network camera suitable for professional surveillance applications and is a significant addition to VIVOTEK's high-end, progressive-scan network camera portfolio. The progressive scan CCD sensor captures exceptional detail on both optically zoomed images from long distances as well as crystal-clear images of fast-moving objects without motion blur artifacts. With its sophisticated pan/tilt mechanism, this camera provides precise movement with continuous 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt. The SD7151 cameras were installed on extension poles and in buildings using a wireless infrastructure. A point-to-point wireless bridge installation was utilized for the WiFi infrastructure as the airport is split into two halves by the runway in the middle of the premise. All in all, there are fifteen buildings on the premise as well as runways, taxi-ways, and tie-downs that were required to be under surveillance coverage in adherence to U.S. Department of Transportation guidelines.
The benefits of upgrading the Lincoln Park Airport to the latest standard in surveillance technology is that local, state, and homeland security officials all have the ability to remotely access each surveillance camera feed as well as recorded footage to scan for potential terrorist attacks. "Installing the cameras was quick and easy, and setup was a snap. Due to the competitive price structure, we were able to use multiple cameras to cover a wide area. The owner and the state official were very pleased with the results," says Ruggiero.
