Sea Ports and Harbours

A comprehensive
surveillance system can be constructed using Thermal Imaging cameras that
will detect and track the movement of vessels and people. Unauthorised
movements can be quickly brought to the attention of operators. The system
contains target tracking, identification, range, bearing, mapping and map
co-ordinates. The networking
ability of NetWatch means video data can be made instantly available to all
departments requiring it, including, customs and excise, local security,
police, immigration control, defence and disaster management. Given
appropriate permissions, individual departments can directly access the video
archive or live video, without interrupting video recording or other data
distribution. NetWatch is
equipped with a set of features developed especially for the detection of
vessels near ports and docks and people near vessels. |

Rail: Stations and Depots The ability of
NetWatch Motion Image Separation Technology to detect intrusion into
restricted areas day or night makes it an ideal choice for the protection of
stations and rail depots. Video data can be made instantly available to
security staff. The NetWatch system has the ability to give verbal warnings
(via a PA system) to intruders that they have been detected and not to cross
live rails etc. The target
identification and tracking facility reduces false alarms as it will not
respond to the random motion of trees and litter etc. blowing in the wind,
but it will always respond when thermal images moving systematically towards
or across 'virtual trip wires' drawn into scenes. |

Rail: Rolling Stock The NetWatch range
contains a rail industry type approved video recorder and train data logger.
Each recorder provides inputs for up to 8 cameras and up to 8 channels of
analogue signals. The video channels are normally used for passenger
surveillance, the analogue channels can be used for monitoring variables such
as radio signal strengths, train loading etc. The system
provides a comprehensive set of features configurable for either unattended
use or for applications where train crew need to view video. Systems are in
wide spread use with over 600 now in service. |

Road
NetWatch
provides many useful features for traffic surveillance and for protection of remote
depots, where the system is used mainly to detect intruders. Visual
Intelligence combined with the networking capability means intruders can be
reliably detected instantly and an appropriate response organised. The system
has also been used to aid compliance with health and safety requirements
where lone workers at remote locations can be monitored by operation room
staff. The National Assembly For Wales also makes good use of the system to detect youngsters throwing things from bridges. The image detection technology is able to detect people on bridges record the video and alert operators to stone throwing incidents. Advances in
Visual Intelligence now enable even more specific detection criteria to be
set, for instance occupants leaving cars can be detected, meaning the system
can differentiate between a car stopped in traffic and an illegally parked
vehicle. The ability to quickly, easily and simultaneously distribute video data to response teams at many different locations speeds response times, improves system effectiveness, and reduces operational costs. |
