Who can forget the many tragic events in our history? Assassinations of presidents such as John F. Kennedy, the dreadful events of Pearl Harbor, or the unexpected and disappointing disasters of space crafts. These are all events that will be etched in our memory for life. And let's not forget about the recently occurring events of September 11. This terrible act was done by terrorists who flew two commercial planes directly into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The chaos did not stop there! The pentagon was also attacked via a third hijacked plane. Lastly, a fourth hijacked plane went down in Pennsylvania. This unimaginable national disaster caused the US government to immediately ground all types of planes throughout the US. Although years have passed since then, the security level for airports and planes has reached an unprecedented level. Naturally, the role of security devices such as cameras can not be downplayed in wining our war with terror.
The vanguard of Defense
Spending on airport security has been increased drastically over the past couple of years since September 11. This is all aimed towards maximizing the safety of the passengers from the moment they enter the airport until they reach their desired destination. Specifically speaking, the airports' security camera systems have been significantly transformed and updated to meet the demands of our insecure world.
Not only do the security cameras monitor the interior of the airport, in addition to that, they monitor the airport's surrounding perimeters and effectively every aircraft in the entire airport. The safety of the aircraft is insured through the utilization of disguised and un-disguised security cameras monitored closely by the keen eyes of the crew members. The utilization of security cameras varies greatly from country to country.
The U.S. capital, Washington D.C., accommodates many video monitoring devices which observe a vast network, containing hundreds of governmental video cameras in addition to those located at the national airports, are installed in a police command center. On the other hand, Singapore is taking action to place an extensive amount of surveillance cameras all over the International Airport of Changi. Monitoring suspicious parcels and actively observing the passenger's actions constitutes the primary function of these cameras.
Utilities of the Profession
A variety of new supplemental technologies have enhanced the job of airport security cameras. Devices such as digital video recorder (DVR) severs are priceless when it comes to airport security.
DVR servers can be programmed to several modes, such as air mode, ground mode, and parking mode, all of which makes it more efficient and manageable for airports to obtain large amounts of information. On the other hand, a set of specific software can be used along side with airport security systems to monitor activity and objects in the terminals of the airport. The security is notified as soon as abnormal behavior is recognized. At last, security cameras can be transformed into infrared cameras via extreme security cameras. This technique enables the capturing of images at any time of the day, regardless of the weather.
A Popular Topic
Are airports utilizing their security equipment to their fullest potential? Various experts in the field of technology strongly belief that the terrorists who conducted 9-11 could have been caught in many airports prior to their implementation of the devastating plot. This belief could have been a reality had there been more advanced security cameras installed.
They also point out that up to 3 of the 19 alleged hijackers who were involved in the World Trade Center and Pentagon were already included in the
