Unified physical security platform supports airport’s ambitions for continual innovation Genetec Inc., a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions, recently announced that Heathrow Airport’s multi-year investment in Genetec solutions is enabling them to continuously innovate and transform operations. The joint effort provides Heathrow with a unified view across large-scale airport operations to secure people and assets, bringing efficiency and enhancing the passenger experience while ensuring data privacy and cybersecurity compliance. London Heathrow is Europe’s busiest airport, handling approximately 80 million passengers and 14 million tons of goods annually. Over 76,000 employees work around the clock to ensure the airport’s smooth operations across its 1,227-hectare site, including maintaining passenger flow, securing the premises, and managing over 1,300 daily takeoffs and landings for 89 different airlines. Heathrow initially deployed Genetec Security Center to bring all of its IP security systems onto one unified platform. What began as a 2,000-camera deployment in 2016 has since more than quadrupled in size, incorporating everything from video and access control to LIDAR, analytics, automatic license plate recognition (ALPR), and more. Today, Genetec solutions are used to go far beyond security. For example, Genetec solutions are used to monitor over 150 km (93 miles) of baggage belts and facilitate the daily entry and exit of over 150,000 vehicles. “We’re essentially running a small city operation that happens to be called Heathrow,” explained Danny Long, IT Product Owner for physical security products at Heathrow, “Alongside the traditional airport security functions, we’re responsible for the monitoring of roads, retail space, three train stations, a bus terminal, offices, a church, fuel stores, a high voltage electrical network, and all the other associated infrastructure that maintains passenger flow.” Genetec Security Center now supports 90 different stakeholder groups working across 110 distinct control rooms, all of whom have different needs and access rights. Customized dashboards enable individual teams and third parties, such as police, government agencies, airlines, and retailers, to focus on their specific tasks. For example, some operational staff are given the tools to monitor passenger flow and are automatically notified when security lines grow too long. Meanwhile, colleagues in IT don’t see camera feeds. Instead, they have access to system health dashboards that notify them of devices that have fallen offline or require software/ firmware updates. “The joy of working with London Heathrow is that the team is constantly striving to put our system through its paces and identify new areas where it can add value,” stated Simon Barnes, Director of Business Development, Genetec Inc., “While our software is configured to their requirements at the time, once in the field, new requirements emerge, and we have to adjust to their reality.” “My job is to translate business requirements into workable solutions and Genetec provides me with the valuable tools to achieve that,” concluded Long, “Our experience with Genetec has been very positive. We’re only looking to expand in terms of the size and usage of the system.”

25% reduction in crime at subway stations in the city center Mission Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), Greater Stockholm Local Transit Company, needed to update its existing system of security cameras. SL wanted to maintain a high level of safety and security for passengers and staff, combat crime such as theft, robbery and vandalism, and have cameras that support its staff in daily operations and emergency response operations. SL also wanted to ensure that it had had a good video surveillance system which was able to provide good image material to investigate accidents, perform better analyses for accident prevention and better assist the police with images for criminal investigations. Solution With about 22,000 cameras, SL has the largest installation of security cameras in Northern Europe. The update involves replacement of about 4,000 network cameras, a large percentage of which are from the AXIS P32 and AXIS P33 series, together with XProtect® software from Milestone Systems. The security cameras are reliable, durable, easy to install, can handle very severe lighting conditions. Due to advanced technology within the Axis cameras and their policy of an open API, they were able to reduce the system’s bandwidth requirements and provide a solution that was both cutting-edge and future-proof. Result Safety and security have increased for both travelers and SL workers. SL has security cameras at all of its subway stations. According to a research report from Stockholm University, it is estimated that crime had been reduced by 25% at the subway stations in central Stockholm that are equipped with security cameras. Incidents of pickpocketing and theft in particular have decreased. The cameras prevent vandalism and graffiti, and are an aid to SL’s staff in tasks such as monitoring traffic in daily operations and during evacuations.

In the land where ancient wonders rise, a tradition as old as time itself echoes through the shifting dunes of Egypt. From the vast expanses of the Sahara to the lush oases that dot the landscape, Egypt’s camel races are an emblem of the country’s rich cultural tapestry. For centuries, these majestic creatures have been revered and relied upon by Bedouin nomads and traders who traversed the treacherous desert routes. Today, their legendary speed and unwavering resilience take center stage, captivating locals and travellers alike. Uniview provided a video security solution for the International Camel Racing Championship held in Areesh Governorate, Egypt. This camel championship is one of the most magnificent camel races in the world. Staff from more than 100 countries around the world came to the scene. Egypt, as the first country to host this kind of competition, attached great importance to it. The venue for this competition is the Camel Club, located in the center of the desert in Areesh City. It can accommodate 1,500 spectators at the same time. Therefore, the cameras are required to have super zoom functionality and high-definition resolution. Furthermore, Areesh City is situated in the desert area of the Sinai Peninsula in eastern Egypt. During the camel race, the temperature can reach over 40 degrees Celsius, and in summer, it can go as high as 55 degrees Celsius. Due to the nature of the desert climate, the perceived temperature will be higher than the one displayed on the thermometer. Therefore, the IP cameras are required to have high-temperature resistance, and UNV products can meet this demand. Our cameras can still work normally in such a harsh environment. Cameras were installed on high poles, providing an overlooking view of the entire stadium. The camera placement ensured that the images covered all the tracks, players, and spectators in the project. A total of 30 high-resolution IP cameras, including the IPC2328SBR5-DPZ30 model, were installed throughout the track. This allowed them to capture the game scenes, referee’s instructions, audience expressions, and stage performances with remarkable clarity, despite the vast area of coverage. During the championship, more often than you think, camels reach the finish line almost at the same time. However, these subtle differences are often imperceptible to the human eye. To address this challenge, the UNV PTZ camera IPC6424SR-X25-VF was employed to accurately track the position of the camel contenders on the track. Additionally, the zoom camera was utilized to track their movements as they approached the finish line. This comprehensive tracking system ensures precise replay of the races, enabling the identification of the camel that emerged as the ultimate champion. Having the capability to log into mobile devices and monitor events, granting access to important figures such as the Minister of Sports, left a lasting impression on spectators who were able to witness the games with comprehensive detail and clarity through the high-resolution UNV PTZ cameras. The ability to remotely monitor the events added an extra layer of convenience and enhanced the overall spectator experience.
