Video surveillance supplier 8011 Hikvision and its Central African partner, Skylinks Technical Services, have recently completed the installation of an IP CCTV surveillance network for Aviance Ghana at Kotoka International Airport. A total of thirteen cameras now maintain close scrutiny of the 650 hectare site and protect passengers, aircraft and cargo.


Four types of IP camera were installed at the airport, connected to a 32-channel, RAID 5 NVR over an entirely new Gigabit network infrastructure. All the cameras feature the true day/night capability of Hikvision's EXIR infrared technology, which ensures they always deliver clear images, even in the warehouses where lighting conditions are not good. Both the 1.3MP and 3MP bullet cameras employed in the warehouses boast a 50 metre IR range while the 30 metre EXIR range of the mini dome cameras deployed in the terminal building is also especially valuable during night time hours when the building lighting is partially shut down.

Haim Atanelov, general manager at Skylinks Technical Services says, "We were challenged to deliver high resolution images at all times and in all lighting conditions.

"Aviance is especially pleased with the smooth integration of the Hikvision IP system with the access control system at the 4 passenger gates, something which was also carefully noted by the EU ACC3 validators. Aviance was also pleased with the integration of the new system with the existing analog CCTV system, although it did show up the difference in video quality immediately. We have already agreed to add further IP cameras to the site and Aviance is committed to phasing out the old system in favour of a totally Hikvision IP system as soon as possible."
