Overview
Airports face numerous security and operational challenges as they are critical transportation hubs with thousands of people passing through daily. The potential risks include terrorism, theft, unauthorized access to restricted areas, and operational disruptions. These issues require an integrated approach to ensure the safety of passengers, staff, and infrastructure. By leveraging innovative security products, such as Avigilon and Ava Video Surveillance and OpenPath Access Control, airports can effectively address these challenges while maintaining smooth operations and a high level of customer satisfaction.
Common Challenges
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance is critical in auto-malls and car dealerships for monitoring the premises, deterring theft and vandalism, and capturing evidence in case of incidents. It helps maintain a secure environment while improving operational efficiency and customer experience.
Avigilon video surveillance offers tailored solutions for auto-malls and car dealerships with high-resolution cameras that capture clear, detailed images. The advanced video analytics, including object recognition and unusual activity detection, assist in identifying potential threats and enhancing overall security. The Avigilon Control Center (ACC) centralizes video management, making it easy to monitor multiple locations and access live and recorded footage. Additionally, the system's scalability ensures that it can grow with the dealership, adapting to changing needs and requirements.
Alternatively, Ava video surveillance utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver actionable insights for auto-malls and car dealerships. The Ava Aware intelligent video management system detects and analyzes unusual activities, such as unauthorized access, loitering, and potential vandalism. This real-time information assists security teams in responding promptly and mitigating risks. Furthermore, the system's compatibility with a variety of cameras and hardware ensures a flexible solution suitable for different dealership layouts and sizes.

Access Control
Access control systems are essential in airports to prevent unauthorized entry into restricted areas, such as control towers, baggage handling, and maintenance facilities. Implementing robust access control measures helps maintain security, protect sensitive information, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
OpenPath Access Control offers a versatile and secure solution to meet the unique needs of airports. Its cloud-based system allows for centralized management, making it easy to grant or revoke access rights, monitor real-time activity, and generate audit trails. The touchless, mobile-based access control enhances security by reducing the reliance on physical access cards that can be lost, stolen, or cloned. OpenPath's multi-factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection, requiring users to present their mobile device and a secondary form of identification, such as a PIN or biometric authentication.
Moreover, OpenPath's seamless integration with existing security systems, such as video surveillance and alarm systems, creates a comprehensive security ecosystem. Its customizable features allow for the implementation of various access levels and time-based access permissions, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access specific areas during designated times. This level of control significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized entry and enhances the overall security posture of the airport.
