This will be the first time that the advanced IP cameras - closed circuit television cameras which use the Internet to transmit image data and control signals - will be installed at a non-metro airport in India, and the first time that the three mega-pixel cameras would be put up at any Indian airport.
The cameras - the cost of which has not been disclosed - will be made operational within the next six weeks, an official said.
An agreement was signed between the MIHAN (Multi-modal International Hub at Nagpur) India Pvt Ltd (MIPL) and Chennai-based Adtech Systems Ltd for the project, said MIPL chairman and managing director R.C. Sinha.
MIHAN, one of the country’s biggest economic development projects currently underway, aims to leverage the central location of Nagpur and convert the present airport into a major cargo hub with integrated road-rail connectivity, Sinha said.
To meet the challenge, the airport is undergoing a modernisation programme to enhance passenger amenities and other infrastructure development.
“The IP cameras would enhance security and also help reduce the pressure on the CISF responsible for the airport security,” Krishnan said.
“They record 30 times more details as compared to the regular analog cameras, and larger image areas with up to 360 degrees panorama are possible,” M.R. Krishnan, executive director of the Adtech Systems, told IANS.
