Tainan Airport Smart Security System Implementation
Dense and Efficient Intelligent Surveillance Deployment
Tainan Airport serves as the primary aviation hub for the Tainan region, with facilities including a domestic terminal, parking areas, and associated amenities. With the expansion of flight routes and growing passenger traffic, the airport faces increasingly stringent requirements in operational management, passenger services, and security maintenance.
To enhance overall management efficiency, the airport has optimized operational processes through intelligent solutions. Traditional surveillance systems rely on personnel monitoring multiple video feeds for extended periods, presenting several practical limitations. First, surveillance operators must simultaneously monitor dozens of screens, making it difficult to maintain sustained high-level attention and easily leading to fatigue-induced blind spots. Second, parking facility vehicle management depends on manual recording and verification, which tends to cause traffic congestion during peak hours. Additionally, there is a lack of real-time monitoring mechanisms for situations such as crowd distribution in public areas and suspicious objects. In most cases, footage can only be reviewed retrospectively for confirmation, preventing immediate awareness of on-site dynamics. Even when reviewing footage after the fact, the traditional needle-in-a-haystack search approach is extremely taxing.
To address these management challenges, Tainan Airport selected Lilin's network camera system for deployment. The implementation covers key terminal areas, parking facility entry and exit points, and other critical perimeter locations. Lilin cameras feature edge computing capabilities, enabling on-device video analytics that reduce network bandwidth requirements and backend server load, meeting the system stability demands of the airport's 24/7 operational environment.
The system integrates multiple intelligent application features. The license plate recognition system is deployed for parking management, automatically identifying vehicle plate numbers and recording timestamps for incoming and outgoing vehicles, thereby improving traffic flow efficiency. Crowd detection functionality is implemented across all terminal floors, enabling the system to count occupancy levels and analyze movement patterns, helping management personnel monitor crowd distribution. Lost and suspicious object detection is targeted at restricted areas and gate lounges—when the system detects items left stationary beyond a preset duration, it proactively issues alerts to assist security personnel with immediate response.
The backend central management system also features revolutionary innovations in video retrieval, employing an event- and thumbnail-based indexing approach for selecting footage to review. This significantly reduces manpower and time requirements. The video wall configuration also provides greater flexibility in image viewing, ensuring comprehensive and seamless video surveillance coverage across the airport.
Through this intelligent surveillance system implementation, Tainan Airport has achieved significant improvements in operational management efficiency and security control capabilities. With optimized vehicle management processes, parking operations run more smoothly; crowd monitoring data provides valuable insights for management decision-making; and object detection functionality has enhanced security protection levels. This project fully demonstrates the practical application value of smart security technology in airport environments, offering a reference model for system upgrades at similar facilities.
