aerosight™
Cabin surveillance camera system
Lufthansa Technik’s cabin surveillance camera aerosight™ enables pilots to monitor cockpit access, cabin and cargo areas – without requiring any additional hardware.
aerosight™ can simultaneously handle up to 16 cameras in the pressurized area of an aircraft. Using this flexible, innovative system the pilots are able to monitor access to the cockpit and overlook the cabin as well as the cargo compartment. The camera automatically switches between a coloured day view mode and an infrared night view mode.
aerosight™ is an IP (Internet Protocol) based camera with an integrated LAN (Local Area Network) connection. It can be connected with the pilots’ EFBs (Electronic Flight Bag), a cabin terminal or other displaying devices like laptops. Neither additional routers or network switches are needed nor are proprietary displays or system control units required.
aerosight™ is designed to use EFBs for display, control and handling which saves weight and simplifies installation compared to other camera systems. The system operates on all EFBs with Ethernet network interfaces, such as laptops with docking stations in the cockpit. A software to display and control the camera video streams with dedicated display units can be provided.
