Abstract:As the core of the whole airport security system, video monitoring system is a centralized and distributed system, which provides effective technical means for airport security monitoring, equipment monitoring and production operation. This paper briefly introduces the airport video monitoring system, and builds an advanced, easy to operate, easy to maintain video monitoring system. This paper describes the system composition, system structure, design principles, functions and other aspects. In the design process, the requirements of various indicators and parameters are fully considered, which can respond in time and operate at high speed. Through the discussion of this paper, readers can understand the airport field The application design of video monitoring system has a whole understanding.
