Airport Security Management Solutions

The CEM AC2000 security management system has been installed at changsha Huanghua International Airport, china, as part of a USD $270 million expansion plan. The system was installed by Tyco Fire & security china and provides the airport with a fully integrated IP security solution for access control, biometrics and CCTV monitoring.

Using CEM’s advanced IP readers/controllers, including the S610f fingerprint reader, the AC2000 system takes advantage of the existing Ethernet infrastructure at the airport. CEM readers feature aviation ‘door modes’ such as ‘Passenger Mode’ for segregating arriving and departing passengers and modes for enabling air- bridges and check-in desks.

“We recommended the CEM AC2000 security system to Changsha Huanghua airport as it features the very latest in IP technology” said Amy Lee, Account Manager Security, Tyco Fire & Security Guangzhou, China. “In order to get the highest security level, CEM S610f IP fingerprint readers with an internal database and a graphical LCD screen will be installed at critical airside areas throughout the airport”.

CEM AC2000 VIPPS (Visual Imaging and Pass Production System) will be used to enhance operations at the airport. The software will be used to capture and enrol personnel details, images, signatures and fingerprint templates. The VIPPS application will allow ID unit administrators to create bespoke printed ID passes that can be colour coded to assist visual verification of a person’s access rights e.g. different badge designs for contractors, visitors, cabin crew and non-flying staff.

CEM’s AC2000 Alarm Event Display (AED) module will also be used to interface AC2000 to the airport’s third party CCTV system. This will create one user-friendly platform from which security staff can centrally view information on all CCTV/access control alarms and events that occur on the system.

With Changsha Huanghua airport facilities expected to grow further in the future, the AC2000 system can be easily expanded and developed as the airport’s security requirements continue to evolve.
