CCTV and intruder systems are among security equipment deployed at the Airbus UK site at Broughton, near Chester.
The systems were installed at a remote location a kilometre from the main security control centre on the site. Manchester-based Intelligent Perimeter Security was chosen to design a solution providing 24-7 monitoring of the remote site. The specification provided by Intelligent Perimeter Security included a digital video server and recording device, which was configured with external volumetric detection devices to push an alarm to the remote monitoring facility via a dedicated wireless data connection.
Wireless product firm Wavesight, using their wireless bridging solution – WaveSPRINT, provided the data link. With up to 54 Mbps of bandwidth available, the link was more than capable of streaming large packets of video and data over the kilometre, making it suitable for wireless CCTV applications such as this, it is claimed.
The client monitoring the remote site is now able to view real-time, 25 frames per second video images and control fully functional dome cameras, while reviewing images stored on site all at the same time. Being wireless, the remote deployment was achieved far more quickly and cost effectively than traditional cable, with none of the normal disruptions, it is claimed.
