Mexico. The Mexico City airport will seek to strengthen its video surveillance system with the acquisition of 12 thermal cameras, 746 fixed high-definition cameras and three ground radars to locate people and vehicles 1,400 meters around. The team represents an investment of 130 million pesos (US$10 million).
Video surveillance at the AICM showed its weaknesses on June 25 when a shootout broke out between federal agents and the shooting was not recorded by the cameras, in addition to the fact that officials of the PGR and Federal Police could not identify the face of those involved when reviewing other videos.
Appliances must have day and night vision and be activated by an alarm system. Each one will have its own memory card and in case of an error in the system you can resort to the videos saved in each unit.
The project covers three stages. The first consists of the homologation of existing cameras towards IP technology; in the second, it will contemplate the integration of the different computer languages to a single one and finally new lenses will be added to the same technological platform, which will be located in filters, last waiting rooms, places of embarkation and disembarkation of aircraft and in public areas.
It is also planned to acquire a sonic cannon that will inform individuals outside the facility that its presence was discovered.
