The system is based on Timezero Coastal Monitoring software for ports where all the information is concentrated and all the peripherals are controlled, this manages the communication between the peripherals achieving a completely integrated system where all the devices work together, to this is added a high definition solid state radar that is directly connected to the computer, up to 12 PTZ cameras which are completely controlled by the system, own vessel identifiers to recognize the company's vessels and a meteorological station to anticipate the weather.
The objective of this is to have complete control of the area and, with the help of cameras and vessel IDs, generate zones of interest with surveillance patrols to provide timely notifications of vessels' arrival at port and complete control over them when they are not moving, in addition to managing the security of areas of interest.
CLOSELY MONITOR AND TRACK MOVEMENTS IN THE PORT
Each risks can be significantly reduced. This system helps avoid congestion problems with transport, cargo, and passengers. It achieves this through its ability to monitor port traffic in real time.
By integrating one or two radars with your coastal monitoring solution, you can display the position of each target within your selected range on the screen. ARPA and AIS targets are automatically acquired and tracked and displayed on your monitor. Users can configure highly customizable alarms to be immediately notified in the event of dangerous vessel movement.
Custom areas can also be used to monitor the anchorage area so you can be immediately notified when a vessel leaves the area.
When alarms are generated, rules can be configured with Ramcotec software that will send an automatic text message or email to remote devices such as a smartphone or computer, generating an online log of all events.
Using this solution, surveillance becomes extremely simple and enables a virtually instantaneous response to dangerous situations.
REAL-TIME WEATHER TRACKING AND FORECAST
The system allows users to minimize the risk of unexpected extreme weather conditions thanks to free, unlimited weather forecast downloads. This weather information can be easily displayed on the screen and overlaid on your chart, helping you take precautions in the event of dangerous weather conditions.
It is also possible to integrate wind sensors so you can also see real-time information on your screen.
VERIFICATION BY CAMERAS
In addition to radar information, users can integrate IR, laser, or thermal cameras to clearly see the short-range movement of vessels and people. Day or night, you can clearly distinguish objects and people. This is particularly useful for the safety of passengers, employees, and/or company assets in the port. If someone has an accident, the cameras will allow you to see what happened.
Up to 12 cameras can be integrated and controlled directly using the cursor or a dedicated joystick.
Custom rules can be created so that vessels entering specific areas are automatically tracked by the nearest or predetermined cameras.
RECORD AND PLAY BACK PAST EVENTS
For administrative purposes, it is very important to keep an event log. This is often necessary after a collision, theft, etc. The optional recording and playback module is extremely useful for port surveillance. This module allows you to record vessel movements, radar images, and camera videos. The integration of up to four VHF radios allows the user to record VHF communications and review them later. These recording and playback functions are absolutely invaluable in the event of an incident.
