Airport security officials feel that now instances of people gaining entry with forged e-tickets, passengers stealing others' belongings, and touts operating outside the airport premises would be less. "The cameras can help easily identify owners of abandoned bags that otherwise often result in local bomb detection squad being called," they said.
A senior MIPL official informed, "for the first time, a non-metro airport like Nagpur has got IP cameras with 10 mega-pixel resolution. Installed by Adtech Systems Limited (ASL), these cameras are very advanced compared to traditional analog cameras as they record 30 times more details. As a result, larger image areas with up to 360° panorama are possible."
"After installation of this security system, we hope detection of crimes will go up and passengers and visitors will feel safer. In most cases of the thefts at airport or when passenger creates an unruly scene during flight delays, the accused will be traced. Thieves can deceive security personnel but they cannot evade the camera," the official said.
CISF deputy commandant, Pranit Chandra said, "installation of an IP-based security system has enhanced security and will help reduce pressure on CISF which looks after security with just 229 staffers against the sanctioned strength of 440. Having camera cover on both, city side and inside terminal building will help us not only keep an eye on more people but also security staffers and airport officials," he said.
Meanwhile, CISF as a precautionary measure has already increased checks at entry and exit points. "People using fake e-tickets, passports and other documents especially during the departure of international flight are usually caught by observing their behaviour and interrogation by staffers. Now cameras will help us identify suspicious behaviour earlier," Chandra said.
