Physical Security Expansion at Perth Airport

Perth Airport has announced an expansion of their video surveillance system which will double its camera presence and allow them to meet regulatory requirements for security and surveillance across one of the largest Australian airports, handling more than 13 million passengers every year.

Over the next five years, Perth Airport hopes to complete a regeneration program that will see completion of a third runway, a hotel, additional car parking capacity and new domestic and international piers.

Using video surveillance is a large part of their airport security, one of the largest in Australia and the latest expansion will take their total to around 1,000 cameras, with further plans for an additional 300-400 cameras when the new terminal opens.

Their new system, installed by Aimetis Symphony and EMC Isilon, gives them real-time access and instant playback.
