// CASE STUDY · CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE · BORDER CROSSING
Security, traffic control, and message-sign infrastructure unified on one platform
- Camera count quadrupled
- HA Genetec + HA SQL
- Plaza-wide DMS control
The problem
A border crossing needed its CCTV, access control, and network infrastructure redesigned, and the plaza needed traffic control infrastructure that could actually be operated as one system.
What I did
- Redesigned CCTV, access control, and the network, including extensive fibre upgrades.
- Built Genetec on high availability with SQL high availability underneath it.
- Integrated card access and intercoms at multiple gates controlling access to the plaza.
- Quadrupled the camera count across static, PTZ, and thermal, each integrated to the function it serves.
- Extended the platform beyond security: traffic ramp control with interlocks, and the complete digital and variable message sign infrastructure for the entire plaza, with the automations to support traffic flow.
Where it landed
One platform running security, traffic ramps, and the plaza-wide message sign infrastructure together. To my knowledge one of the first major deployments to run DMS infrastructure through Genetec this way.
