MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ -
August 2, 2010 - Infinova today announced that over 846 Infinova video surveillance
cameras, including high-speed PTZ domes, mini-domes and fixed cameras, many
with vandal-resistant day/night functionality, plus Infinova's DVRs and switchers
were selected by airport authorities to combat terrorism and increase security
at 22 airports in India. The Infinova cameras and security equipment are seamlessly
integrated with advanced video analytics software from Videonetics designed
especially for airport security. The entire solution is to be installed by one
of Infinova's most experienced integrator partners, Falcon Eye Technology of
Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
As one of the world's largest
countries, air transport is critical to India's economy and protecting airports
from terrorist attacks is a high priority for air transport authorities. To
protect against terrorism, airport authorities selected the Infinova/Videonetics
solution from over 20 leading manufacturers in the global security industry.
The 22 airports covered by the solution include Tirupati airport, serving one
of the busiest pilgrimage centers in the world and Agra airport, serving tourist
traffic to the Taj Mahal. Other airports include Agatti, Jaisalmer, Chandigarh,
Dimapur, Gaya, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Jorhat, Lengpui, Lilabari, Ludhiana, Mangalore,
Nagpur, Patna, Shimla, Silchar, Tezpur, Trichy, Vizag and Varanasi.
"The competition was
tough," reports Milind Borkar, Infinova vice president sales for India
and the Middle East. "We won the deal through a team effort between our
Infinova engineers in India, Videonetics and Falcon Eye. Together, we were able
to demonstrate that we had superior technology with the analytics features that
would meet the advanced requirements for the airports."
The solution will be installed
in India by Falcon Eye Technology, which has in-depth technical experience with
Infinova on similar installations including the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition
Center (ADNEC).
"We have interfaced
with Infinova on many large projects before," reports Hani Zaghloul, Operations Manager,
Falcon Eye Technology LLC. "They are very easy to work with and their cameras
are straightforward to install. As integrators this helps us a lot. With support
from Infinova and Videonetics, we were able to put together a very competitive
proposal."
