Aeropuertos Argentina since 1998 has been designing and managing security systems for airports across Argentina. They are enhancing airport security by deploying integrated technologies from access control to video management, incorporating innovative cloud and analytic solutions. Aeropuertos is working with Milestone Systems’ open platform video software to address their challenges.
AXIS Perimeter Defender
Aeropuertos Argentina needed a unified, flexible video security solution for multiple airports to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of video analytics and network devices, including cameras from Axis Communications. The legacy systems at many sites were outdated, so upgrades called for technology that provides end-to-end encryption, regardless of device make or model, to ensure the highest level of security for airport data.
Milestone XProtect VMS was selected for the airport security updates. Its open-platform architecture allows the integration of cameras from various manufacturers and third-party analytics solutions, enabling Aeropuertos Argentina to tailor the security to each airport’s specific needs.
As the upgrade projects continue to roll out, the adoption of XProtect VMS is bringing significant benefits for Aeropuertos Argentina and the airports under its management. The open platform enables the integration of advanced analytics, such as AXIS Perimeter Defender. The scalability of XProtect easily expands their security as new airports are added or existing ones require updating.
In addition, Aeropuertos Argentina gleans comprehensive insights into passenger behavior, aircraft movement on the tarmac, and crowd flow within the airports. As advanced analytics are integrated, such as people counting and heatmap tools, managers gain valuable inputs. This data-driven approach helps optimize airport layout, staffing, and resource allocation, ultimately enhancing the passenger experience and streamlining operations.
The XProtect open-platform approach allows Aeropuertos Argentina to integrate with other options, such as access control, lighting, alarms and intercoms, creating a comprehensive, proactive approach to safety. By consolidating the digital intelligence, the XProtect solution will become the cornerstone of Aeropuertos Argentina’s airport security solutions.
The Milestone architecture is also coupled with the fast-growing AWS ecosystem of video analytic tools and a flexible pricing structure.
At most airports in the region, the recorded video data is stored on the airports’ local servers for 31 days. The Aeropuertos Argentina team is considering moving video storage and management to the cloud in many locations to reduce costs for long-term storage and to enhance video data use and sharing from high availability in the cloud.
