Detailed Technical Responsibilities

Genetec Security Center (VMS)

• Verified network readiness, IP addressing, and camera connectivity to ensure smooth integration.
• Added cameras to the system using ONVIF and native drivers, configured multiple video streams, and set resolution, bitrate, and frame rates according to the project requirements.
• Focused lenses and adjusted image parameters like WDR, exposure, and low-light performance to ensure optimal video quality.
• Applied camera certificates, enabled HTTPS, and upgraded firmware for all devices, verifying functionality after each update.
• Set recording schedules, retention policies, and configured alerts for health monitoring.
• Tested live view, playback, PTZ control, and motion detection settings, documenting each step for ADMCC inspection and handover.
• Ensured all configurations met operational requirements and were aligned with project standards.

Milestone XProtect (VMS)

• Onboarded all cameras, verified streams, and ensured correct settings for resolution, exposure, and frame rates.
• Adjusted and focused cameras for maximum coverage and image clarity.
• Applied firmware upgrades, checked system stability, and documented all camera configurations.
• Configured recording schedules, retention policies, and ensured smooth playback of live and recorded video.
• Conducted comprehensive testing to ensure all cameras were functioning as expected, recording correctly, and integrated properly with alarm and event workflows.
• Prepared detailed documentation for client handover and ADMCC inspections.

CNL PSIM (Command and Control)

• Uploaded site maps and structured layers for clear visualization.
• Plotted all devices including cameras, doors, BDRM, and LPR with accurate positioning.
• Synchronized CNL with Genetec and Kaba systems to reflect real-time device status.
• Configured alarms, workflows, dashboards, and performed end-to-end tests for event handling.

Security Access Control

• Added controllers and doors into the Kaba system, configured schedules, and time zones.
• Applied all door settings, including door contact monitoring, and lock modes.
• Verified door transactions and alarms through activity logs to ensure proper reporting.
• Conducted functional tests for badge access, door forced open, and held open scenarios.

Ipsotek Facial Recognition

• Installed and integrated FR cameras with VMS platforms.
• Focused and aligned cameras for accurate face capture angles and distances.
• Applied face recognition analytics settings and validated detection accuracy in different lighting conditions.

Terma CIP (Radar and Thermal Integration)

• Calibrated thermal cameras by accurately defining the field of view and detection zones.
• Added cameras into CIP software and assigned the correct FOV and security zones.
• Linked radar inputs with PTZ and thermal cameras to enable automatic slew on detection.
• Configured alarm rules and protocols for various threat levels.
• Performed end-to-end tests simulating intrusions to validate detection, auto-slew, and alarm escalation.

ADMCC Inspections and Compliance

• Coordinated with ADMCC inspectors for verification of all camera systems across Abu Dhabi International Airport.
• Uploaded diagrams to the ADMCC portal for initial and final approvals.
• Successfully passed inspections for nearly 10,000 cameras covering terminals, surrounding buildings, and retail units.
• Reviewed camera placements, coverage angles, and documentation to ensure full compliance.
• Implemented corrections and fine-tuned camera settings based on inspector feedback.
• Prepared detailed inspection reports, as-built diagrams, and technical documentation for final approval.
