Case Study: Smyrna Airport achieves enhanced safety and full-site wireless IP surveillance with Milestone Systems' XProtect

A Tennessee airport ramps up safety with Milestone XProtect wireless IP video surveillance

Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport Authority, a 1,700-acre public airport near Nashville serving corporate, charter and training operations, faced an outdated analog camera system with poor image quality, tape-based recording and no fiber network across the site. The airport needed a scalable, remotely accessible surveillance solution to meet FAA and insurance requirements and to provide full coverage over long distances without new cabling.

Dynamark deployed a wireless IP video system using Milestone XProtect VMS, Panasonic PTZ network cameras, Vivotek video servers to digitize existing Pelco cameras, and integrated Galaxy access control — all tied together with proprietary wireless components. The upgrade delivered clear, scalable remote monitoring, encrypted evidence for prosecutions, simpler camera additions and 24/7 coverage; it improved incident response, satisfied regulators and insurers, and helped attract new business to the airport.
