Process optimisation for ports: CCTV / IP video surveillance technology

摘要

In the contemporary age, the range of applications for video surveillance technology is no longer limited to traditional security tasks such as the detection of unwanted intruders, or even the prevention of terrorist attacks. Video surveillance has become an indispensable tool in designing all the processes across the port arena in the most efficient way as possible. Some areas in which surveillance has become intrinsic include access control, the prevention of accidents at sluices, and the administration of the commodity flows throughout the harbour. One thing that always applies to ports: time is money, and whenever the stream of goods comes to a halt for some reason, profits are at stake.
