Optimizing port security – protecting valuable goods

Harbor security is not only about protecting the great amount of valuable goods that pass the premises every day. It is also about protecting the harbor as a part of the critical infrastructure. To solve this efficiently, many port authorities and cargo operators have chosen Axis network video solutions.

With the world’s broadest range of IP cameras and video encoders, Axis enables cost-effective monitoring of harbor areas such as:

• Entrances and exits
• Water fronts
• Perimeters
• Critical buildings and warehouses
• Cargo and parking areas

 

Increasing the everyday efficiency

Several of Axis harbor customers also use the IP-based surveillance system to handle everyday business in a more efficient way. Examples include:

• Remote monitoring of container identification numbers, rail car number and other data, which was earlier inspected by foot.
• Remote inspections for container and cargo damage
• Improved staff training, based on real life incidents and live scenarios
