Project: Comprehensive CCTV Installation at Eliga Freight, JKIA
Eliga Freight is a prominent logistics and freight forwarding company operating out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). The company handles high-value cargo and time-sensitive shipments. It also requires round-the-clock operational efficiency.
As a key player in the region’s supply chain, Eliga Freight needed to strengthen it’s security infrastructure. Airport security protocols continue to grow more demanding. Additionally, the company must safeguard client assets at all times. Therefore, Eliga Freight sought an enterprise-grade surveillance solution from Boardtac Solutions.
The Solution
Boardtac Solutions designed, supplied, and installed a comprehensive CCTV surveillance system. We tailored this system to the unique operational landscape of Eliga Freight. First, our team conducted a detailed site survey. We identified all critical zones and potential blind spots during this assessment. Afterward, we deployed a strategic mix of high-resolution IP cameras.
Dome cameras provided weather-resistant coverage for loading zones. Varifocal cctv cameras delivered detailed oversight for high-traffic areas. We integrated all cameras into a centralized network video recorder (NVR) system. This enabled real-time monitoring and remote access. It also provided secure long-term storage of footage. In addition, we configured the system to support future scalability. This allows for easy expansion as the client’s operations grow.
Installation Process
We understood the sensitive nature of working within the JKIA environment. Consequently, our team adhered to strict airport security protocols throughout the project. We scheduled work during off-peak hours. This ensured zero disruption to Eliga Freight’s daily logistics activities. We managed all cabling, mounting, and configuration with care. Our focus remained on durability and discreet integration into the existing infrastructure. After the installation, we provided comprehensive training to the client’s security and management teams. As a result, they can now operate the system independently. They can also retrieve footage and manage user access controls without assistance.
Key Features Delivered
- High-Definition Coverage: The system delivers 24/7 surveillance with crystal-clear imaging. Night vision capabilities ensure reliable performance in low-light conditions.
- Strategic Camera Placement: We placed cameras to cover cargo storage, loading docks, perimeter fences, and entry points. This eliminated all security blind spots.
- Centralized Management: The user-friendly NVR interface allows seamless live viewing and playback. Authorized users can also access the system remotely from any device.
- Durable Hardware: We selected weather-resistant and vandal-proof cameras. These units withstand the harsh outdoor conditions of the airport environment.
- Scalable Infrastructure: The system supports future expansion. This ensures it can adapt as Eliga Freight’s operational needs evolve.
Outcome and Impact
The successful completion of this project has significantly enhanced Eliga Freight’s security infrastructure. The client now enjoys complete visibility over their entire facility. This enables proactive incident prevention. It also facilitates faster response times. Furthermore, accountability has improved across all operational areas.
The high-quality recorded footage provides invaluable evidence for incident investigations. It also supports compliance with stringent airport security regulations. Ultimately, the new system gives Eliga Freight greater peace of mind. They can now focus on their core logistics operations. They have confidence that their assets, personnel, and client cargo remain fully protected.
