Radar Vision CCTV protects Dunfold Park Aerodrome

(02/09/2009)

Dunsfold Park, a large 600-acre aerodrome site near Guildford in Surrey iss home to a wide range of tenant businesses and the location for a variety of aircraft operations – as well as filming work including the BBC’s popular Top Gear programme.

Dunsfold Park is now being protected by Ganz’s dual-purpose Radar Vision system. This combines compact, high performance radar detection with any Ganz C-AllView CCTV camera.

Nicky Stokes, Sales Director of specialist independent security integrator Integrated Security Design Ltd, which specified and installed the Radar Vision system, says it’s proved ideal at Dunsfold Park. It provides early detection and monitoring of trespassers, along with 360°/second camera tracking. This early warning of potential intruders also allows security staff in the control room to make more effective use of their existing 16-camera surveillance system at the site.

RadarVision is at the forefront of site detection and monitoring, yet the system can be installed and maintained with the minimum of fuss. Using event-driven image recording of the predefined target zone, it eliminates false alarms and reduces costs because operators no longer need to patrol grounds continually.

“These benefits, combined with the 36x optical zoom capability of the Ganz AllView high speed pan/tilt camera allow the surveillance system to protect the multiple tenants working in 420,000ft² of warehousing, industrial units and office space,” Mr Stokes comments.

“They include Surrey Police, who carry out driver training on-site, and customer test track demonstrations of McLaren Mercedes’ £345,000+ SLR Roadster cars, so appropriate levels of protection are required by our client Dunsfold Park Ltd, which is owned by The Rutland Group.

“We approached Ganz because in addition to the RadarVision system’s operational capabilities we benefit from the company’s flexible approach, pre-install design assistance, post-installation services and equipment reliability.”

Commenting on RadarVision’s use at the high profile Dunsfold Park site, Ganz National Sales & Marketing Manager, John Downie, says the system’s flexible operational benefits include the ability to provide detection, monitoring, tracking and visual verification. “This installation shows how RadarVision can be retrofitted to an established system to provide a range of added benefits to existing cameras.
