ZANDAR HELPS SECURITY MONITORING AT AMSTERDAM SCHIPHOL AIRPORT
June 9th 2005
Dublin, 9th June 2005 – Zandar Technologies, a leading
innovator in the design and development of high quality multi-source
display and management solutions, is proving an obvious choice for
organisations that require live video monitoring solutions with
the recent installation of an MX MultiViewer system in the security
office at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
The contract was awarded by Visual Display Solutions and installed
by systems integrator GTN. The MultiViewer system is used in conjunction
with one of four Bobcat LCD displays from Clarity Visual Systems,
Inc. displaying twelve video channels.
Owned by the Schiphol Group, Schiphol Airport has several control
rooms responsible for the monitoring and control of important processes
such as passenger flow in the terminal, technical equipment and
crisis handling, parking and traffic on the airport premises, and
safety and security.. As with all airport security operations, attention
to detail is critical and operators can ensure nothing goes unnoticed
with the help of the Zandar MultiViewer.
The MX MultiViewer utilizes the video input feeds of around 100
CCTV cameras to provide one integrated interface to monitor sensitive
areas at parking spaces and garages throughout the airport. Twelve
video signals are monitored on a single screen with operators able
to access the security images over a comprehensive IP security network.
Together with the images, operators also have full audio communication
with the entrances of each garage building.
The MX MultiViewer offers single touch operation which provides
the ability to view multiple security camera images in real-time
in pre-configured displays. Each image can be seen full screen should
the need arise and is especially good for spot monitoring of critical
images. Operation is via the front panel buttons or remotely via
the RS-232/422 serial interfaces. The front panel LCD display shows
menus for user configuration for channel ID, borders, clock and
date and the GPIO lines. The units are lightweight, have an attractive
and stylish design and are rack mountable.
Robert Fabrie, Owner, Visual Display Solutions, advised on and specified
the products to be used in this installation. Fabrie comments, “The
system has been running very smoothly. The Zandar MultiViewer is
a cost effective solution for effortless monitoring of 12 video
signals on a single screen.”
Robert Fabrie adds, “Zandar was chosen for this application
because we felt that price and functionality were perfect for this
monitoring application. We are really pleased with the results.
For any future project work and installations at Schiphol we will
certainly choose the MX Series MultiViewer. It is an excellent system.”
This commendation is further testament to Zandar Technologies’
capabilities within the security and surveillance market. In addition
to successful installations at Frankfurt and Linate Airports, Zandar
MultiViewers have been installed in many demanding and highly sensitive
security environments including FBI, Police Stations, Prison Services
and government institutions across the world.
Zandar Technologies, Visual Display Solutions & Clarity Visual
Systems shall be demonstrating integrated security solutions for
the airport environment at Stand C52 at the Air & Port Security
Expo, June 22-23, Brussels Expo, Belgium.
