Operated from a coordinated control centre by high quality professional operators who understand situational awareness and surveillance, and with appropriate


"...if CCTV is purely framed in an evidentiary context in an airport environment, then it is less likely to be fully exploited as an active surveillance or intelligence gathering solution..."


An Optimal Airport CCTV System Is there such a system and can it be achieved? An optimal system would be integrated whilst addressing the needs of all stakeholders. Management of information flow is critical to effective pre-emptive threat or event detection and response to issues. Similarly, management of security visual imaging technologies and interventions is increasingly going to become a major determinant in an overall aviation security programme. Of all of these technologies, effectively staffed CCTV is the only one with the overall ability to provide a comprehensive support role in identifying targets, auditing process, linking targets highlighted from one area to another, supporting concerns through behavioural analysis, and generating extensive intelligence across the range of technologies in

authority to initiate response as required, emerging threats and areas of concern can be monitored and a comprehensive coordinated response can be managed. In this role CCTV is central to generating a situational awareness of airport conditions, gathering and distributing intelligence about potential threats and issues, and central to arranging an effective response function to the detection and resolution of events and threat conditions. This is going to be an increasingly strategic consideration in creating safe airports and safeguarding aviation as a whole.
