As the largest container port in the world, the Port of Shanghai spans 3,619km2 and handles over 744 million tonnes of cargo annually. If its size alone does not make it difficult to secure, the thousands of people from ships, trucks and cargo companies coming and going daily and the massive waterways leading into docks contribute to the security challenges. Regardless of size or the types of vessels coming into harbour, ports are challenging security environments. Port security departments must rely on technology such as IP video management systems (VMS) and ultra-megapixel cameras with long-range zoom capabilities; these help keep an eye on incoming vessels, watch people moving through the terminals, and detect any suspicious activities or possible threats before they wreak havoc on operations or people's safety.
