ARINC Delivers APIS to The Netherlands and Cyprus
ARINC Inc. has announced the successful deployment of its Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) messaging service to support a pilot Advance Passenger Information (API) message transmission project for the Cyprus Police and Civil Registry and Migration Department within the Ministry of Interior. ARINC installed the new APIS service to support evaluation of the use of API as part of enhanced border control in Cyprus. The project was conducted in full cooperation with the Cyprus Police and Civil Registry and Migration. “ARINC greatly values the relationship we have established with
the Cyprus Police and the research and development department” said Ray Batt, ARINC Director, Government & Security. “ARINC is eager to become an important technology partner with the Cyprus Police and Civil Registry and Migration Department at the Ministry of Interior and to further assist Cyprus in reaching its future border control objectives.”
ARINC has also announced the deployment of its APIS messaging service to support message transmission
to the
Netherlands Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. The new APIS service was installed in full cooperation with the Identity Management & Immigration (IDMI) programme directorate to support its Innovation Border Management Programme (Vernieuwing Grensmanagement or VGM). The ARINC solution interfaces seamlessly with the existing IDMI border control system. "ARINC greatly values the relationship we have established with the IDMI programme directorate and the Royal Netherlands Marechausse (Koninklijke Marechausee – KMAR), which has stretched back to the successful pilot programme from 2009" stated Batt.
East Midlands Airport Goes with IndigoVision
Three Control Centre stations have been established at the airport, to allow multiple-location monitoring from the car park, security operations and apron control centres. User reports have been particularly positive regarding the camera salvos, guard tours and alarm acknowledgement features of Control Centre, as well as its easy to use, intuitive interface. John Doherty, Security General Manager East Midlands Airport, commented that “The IndigoVision solution has allowed new technology to enhance our security monitoring and analysis of footage at East Midlands Airport. As a large organisation with multiple sites that need to be monitored, the IP Video surveillance system has provided us with an easy to use solution that suits all of our requirements.” All cameras across the airport now use IndigoVision’s Activity
Controlled Framerate (ACF) technology. ACF controls the framerate of the video stream based on the amount of motion in the scene. When there is no activity, video is streamed at minimal framerate; the instant any motion is detected, video is simultaneously transmitted at maximum configured framerate. This significantly reduces the bandwidth and NVR storage requirement for cameras monitoring generally static scenes.
