Shannon Airport is one of the Republic of Ireland’s three primary airports. It is the third busiest airport in the Republic of Ireland with more than 3 million passengers per year.

Shannon Airport had an outdated analogue CCTV solution which had to be upgraded to a full IP digital solution in order to make it more available to key airport services and staff including the police, fire services, baggage handling and Customs & Excise. Each group needed to access the system for different reasons at different places and all at the same time.

The new system had to be highly flexible and capable of growing with the airport. It also needed to deliver significant cost savings and organisational benefits. Re-use of existing camera hardware and much of the Airport’s existing cabling infrastructure were key to keeping installation and hardware costs down.

The Airport required very high performance in the new system including the ability to capture live images at state of the art resolution. It also required a user-friendly interface for all staff to view, playback and operate the system.

The system, consisting of approximately 200 cameras, runs on the airport's internal converged LAN with little or no impact and is easy to administer. Operations and Security staff can easily access and view any camera on the airport network whilst at the same time the system is recording in real time at a high resolution. When required, recordings can be burned to disk for archiving.

"Overall we are pleased with the performance of the system to date and the quality of support provided by Titan Vision.” Richard Leahy, IT Service Delivery Manager, Dublin Airport Authority.
