Access control products from CEM Systems, part of the Security Products arm of Tyco are in use at Minsk Airport, Belarus. CEM’s AC2000 access control and security management system has been installed by CEM Approved Reseller Unibelus.
Philip Verner, EMEA Regional Sales Director, CEM Systems, said: “In selecting AC2000, Minsk Airport have chosen an access control and security management system that has a long and established record at some of the world’s most prestigious airports. CEM has a history of understanding the security requirements and needs of airports and the industry leading CEM AC2000 system has been used to secure airports for over 20 years.”
The AC2000 system offers system failover, and a range of software applications for the airport’s onsite operations. Using AC2000 Failover, Minsk has a failsafe secondary server should the central AC2000 server hardware fail. This automatic process ensures zero data loss and is cost effective as it requires no intervention from a support engineer, the Belfast-based makers add.
The airport has installed the AC2000 video interface for MatriVideo to allow security staff to associate access control alarms with MatriVideo digital video clips, plus view live camera footage. Using the AC2000 Alarm Event Display (AED) application all alarms and camera footage can be displayed centrally on the AC2000 system enabling it to act as the central command and control for alarm management.
The airport has used the AC2000 WEB Visitor Management application to remotely manage visitor access via a standard web browser. Only select security personnel at Minsk have the ability to manage visitor access levels and validate visitor identity cards. ID cards can then be printed via the AC2000 VIPPS (Visual Imaging Pass Production) application allowing the airport to personalise cards by adding their logo, staff signatures, and images.
To monitor staff IN and OUT times, the airport uses the AC2000 Time and Attendance module. This saves time and money as it means there is no need for a separate timekeeping system. The airport also used eDCM300 intelligent two door controllers, designed to work to third-party read heads. The tamper proof controller has a structured database which allows storage of card-holder records for off-line card validation.
