Maritime surveillance systems use technology to observe activities on a maritime site. By using coastal security cameras, sensors and other devices, organizations can detect, observe and identify potential threats and gather information for decision-making.

Maritime surveillance systems are used by safety and security teams to detect, observe and identify potential threats and collect valuable data for decision-making.

The key components of maritime surveillance include perimeter security, coastal monitoring systems, sensor technology, radar systems and access control. These systems and devices help protect a maritime site and observe events 24⁄7 for potential threats.

Features coastal security cameras should have include a rugged, corrosion-proof camera housing, high resolution video, infrared and thermal sensors, wide-area coverage and built-in AI video analytics technology.

Maritime surveillance cameras should be installed strategically to help ensure maximum coverage of an area that requires observation.

It is recommended that you install maritime security camera systems at a height that makes it impossible for vandals to reach from the ground and away from direct sunlight, if possible.

Perimeter security and coastal surveillance systems differ from general surveillance in their ability to withstand harsh environments and tough weather conditions.

Coastal security systems are ruggedized and corrosion-resistant to handle maritime elements and provide advanced image detail and zoom capabilities to enable operators to observe site activity 24⁄7.

Maritime security systems can detect several types of threats, including security threats such as intrusion, vandalism and theft.

Furthermore, maritime security systems can also detect threats to worker safety, from PPE violations to a worker dangerously close to operating vehicles.

There are several benefits of perimeter security in ports and harbors. These include improved security to keep locations secure from external threats, such as thieves, vandals and trespassers.

Additionally, port and harbor security systems enable organizations to enhance safety by mitigating risks that could harm worker well-being. Operators can also optimize operations by tracking shipments, vehicles and staffing levels.

Perimeter security and coastal surveillance systems provide comprehensive, multi-layered safety and security. Perimeter security systems focus on security site boundaries, while coastal surveillance systems observe maritime areas.

Maritime security cameras can integrate with other security technologies. If the cameras are built on an open platform, they can integrate with access control systems, sensor technology, alarms and more.
