Centralized server application for air transportation security systems

The paper presents a new component for conventional video monitoring and security systems in air transportation, aiming at improving the overall system performance, eliminate nuisance alarms, optimize network bandwidth and systems storage occupation. Innovative analysis technologies were employed for the development of the new system. The proposed solution relies on a server application referred to as “Third Party Core” installed on a hardware platform residing in the same network with the video monitoring systems and other security systems. This server application uses data captured by video cameras, other security systems (e.g. access control, intrusion detection, radar surveillance) field equipment, data gathered and used in other server application (e.g. database servers, storage servers, other system servers) with to purpose of integrating different functionalities, unify the operator - machines interfaces, predict events, assist operators in video surveillance and improve the security of perimeter. The new server application can easily run on regular low cost hardware platforms (e.g. server or station available on the IT market) and was developed using SQL, C++ and languages connectors.
