A record 78.7 million passengers passed through Paris-Orly and Paris- Charles de Gaulle in 2005 making Aéroports de Paris the second largest European airport group in terms of growth.

A Long-term Partnership

In 2003 Aéroports de Paris embarked on an ambitious CCTV upgrade programme to improve the coverage and level of security throughout their airports. As part of this huge project Controlware were selected to supply video codec’s that enable video from analogue cameras to be streamed over IP networks.

The superior video quality that the codec’s deliver and an extensive technical service and support network were key reasons for Aéroports de Paris to establish a long-term partnership with Controlware. Since then Controlware have assisted Aéroports de Paris with the evolution and expansion of their surveillance network and to date have supplied over 2,000 video codec’s.

State-of-the-art CCTV

The Aéroports de Paris IP CCTV solution provides state-of-the-art video surveillance encompassing both airside and passenger areas including luggage sorting, check in desks, access to restricted areas, ATM cash machines, car parks and perimeter monitoring applications. The integrated IP CCTV system enables Aéroports de Paris to constantly monitor, record and manage video from thousands of analogue cameras at any location on their network and to operate a crisis centre that can be used in case of emergencies.

Peter Schnitter, Chief Operating Officer, Controlware, adds that Controlware Networked Video Solutions enable any organisation to benefit from an integrated approach to the management of their security operations by providing a sound basis for future applications and services. The flexibility and scalability of the Controlware solution provides easy integration with existing CCTV equipment and this is especially important in the context of large-scale and evolving projects like Aéroports de Paris.”
