Dunsfold Park is now being protected by Ganz’s dual-purpose Radar Vision system. This combines radar detection with the Ganz AllView CCTV camera.
Dunsfold Park (www.dunsfoldpark.com), a 600-acre aerodrome site near Guildford in Surrey, is home to a range of tenant businesses and a variety of aircraft operations – besides filming work including the BBC TV Top Gear show.
Nicky Stokes, Sales Director of installer Integrated Security Design Ltd, which specified and installed the Radar Vision system, says it’s proved ideal at Dunsfold Park. It provides early detection and monitoring of trespassers, along with 360 degrees a second camera tracking. This early warning of potential intruders also allows security staff in the control room to make more effective use of the 16-camera system at the site.
Using event-driven image recording of the predefined target zone, the product eliminates false alarms, it’s claimed, and reduces costs because operators no longer need to patrol grounds continually. "These benefits, combined with the 36x optical zoom capability of the Ganz AllView high speed pan/tilt camera, allow the surveillance system to protect the multiple tenants working in 420,000ft sq of warehousing, industrial units and office space," Mr Stokes says.
"They include Surrey Police, who carry out driver training on-site, and customer test track demonstrations of McLaren Mercedes’ £345,000-plus SLR Roadster cars, so appropriate levels of protection are required by our client Dunsfold Park Ltd, which is owned by The Rutland Group.
"We approached Ganz because in addition to the RadarVision system’s operational capabilities we benefit from the company’s flexible approach, pre-install design assistance, post-installation services and equipment reliability."

Commenting
On RadarVision’s use at the Dunsfold Park site, Ganz National Sales & Marketing Manager, John Downie, says the system’s flexible operational benefits include the ability to provide detection, monitoring, tracking and visual verification. "This installation shows how RadarVision can be retrofitted to an established system to provide a range of added benefits to existing cameras."
