IES technology has been at the heart of the security solutions implemented in some of the biggest airports in the world over the past 8 years. Starting with traditional CCTV systems and evolving into networked systems supporting and managing many 100s of cameras, the new generation of IES Airport Solutions is focusing on integration and automation.
IES adopt a proactive approach to mission critical security at locations such as airports. The traditional reactive approach to security is essentially a forensic approach where security breaches and incidents are recorded and analysed after an event has occurred. With the new solutions offered by IES to its clients, security personnel are alerted to events BEFORE they become security breaches and therefore have the opportunity to prevent breaches in security.
Proactive security solutions offered by IES work on the following two premises:
- Preventing a threat to reach your borders or perimeters
- Detection of covert or subversive activities within the borders
IES offer a unique solution based on IP66 high tech personnel radar in combination with a sophisticated surveillance management system, called Medusa. By continuously scanning an area covering a 360 degree circular field of 1800 meters in diameter, Medusa helps to detect and track intruders long before they reach your perimeters. Several targets can be monitored simultaneously and each target’s coordinates are passed to the surveillance system, which controls and moves PTZ cameras to automatically follow the targets.
The system can distinguish between various objects within the specified range, thus preventing alarms raised by animals moving into the field of detection. Multiple detection zones can be defined within each radar field and several radar units can be combined to enlarge the detection area to cover several kilometres. Medusa detects threats that are too far away to be picked up by normal perimeter detection systems.
