Transportation

Monitoring of traffic on highways to help commuters plan their journey to work is one especially popular application. Video images broadcast over the Internet provide real-time traffic information and can reduce congestion. Emergency services can use the images to handle accidents more efficiently.

Passengers on public transport can be protected from crime at bus stops and train stations by security surveillance cameras, as well as on the bus or train itself.

However, due to the fear of terrorist attacks, the airport has become the key place for employing network video solutions. Network video can be used in the airport environment to prevent theft, drug trafficking, illegal immigration and much more.

Areas of the airport where network cameras can be used:

Entrances and exits
Cameras placed at the entrances and exits to an airport terminal record who comes in and out 24 hours per day. This deters criminals and the footage can be used as evidence if a crime occurs.

Customs
Reinforcing the work of on-the-spot security staff, cameras at customs areas enable remote monitoring for e.g. illegal immigration and smuggling.

Parking lots
Cameras employed here ensure the safety of people using the car parks, and ensure their cars are not subject to theft or vandalism during the owners' absence.

Hangers
Airplanes in their hangers can be monitored remotely to ensure that they are not tampered with between flights.

Catering
At a busy airport, air plane catering requires split-second timing. Network cameras can be used by caterers to see when the plane is ready to discharge its last ?ight's meal service and receive its next one.

Baggage reclaim area
Network video can be employed throughout the airport's baggage system. At the customer interface, it can be used to prevent crime, while behind the scenes, cameras can help airport staff check that the system operates smoothly.

Broadcasting at airports
Network cameras can improve efficiency and customer service by broadcasting up-to-the-minute images of incoming airplanes in the departure lounge, showing, for example, when a plane is ready to board.
