May 19, 2015, Bay Shore, NY: IPVideo Corporation, manufacturer of IP-based video surveillance and command center solutions, introduces the CargoCam – an ideal way to view and record high-definition surveillance video from within aircraft cargo bays. The purpose-built CargoCam combines a 3MP video camera, rechargeable battery and WiFi/4G model within a custom housing that’s outfitted with a powerful suction cup for quick and easy mounting to the inside of an airplane cargo hold. The camera can be installed in seconds, providing immediate, temporary surveillance video. Its presence can serve as a theft deterrent as well as a forensic tool, providing recorded video to protect airline assets and prosecute offending employees.
The CargoCam may be used in conjunction with the SentryVMS video management system, for highly secure, easy access to live and recorded video from computer workstations or mobile devices. A single SentryVMS server can support an entire fleet of CargoCams, making it an ideal tool for Port Authorities and security management teams of airlines. The CargoCam may also be used with many third-party VMS solutions, and can also record directly to the camera’s local SD card.
“When bags are checked at the gate to be put into the cargo hold, they are at the highest risk for theft, due to their easy accessibility to handlers and the fact that passengers may have packed valuable items that they intended to keep with them as carry-on,” explained Jack Plunkett, Chief Technology Officer of IPVideo Corporation. “Our CargoCam solution is designed specifically to thwart theft in these instances, making it incredibly easy to keep baggage and baggage handlers under surveillance while last minute, loose luggage is loaded onto and off of the plane.”
