October 2010, Malta Freeport, located in the heart of the Mediterranean, ranked among the top European ports and is the third largest transshipment and logistics centre in the region. Due to its law enforcement under ISPS Code, the IP Surveillance System is required to consistently support governments evaluating risks and offset with changes in threat and vulnerability for ships and port facilities, including certain equipments, monitoring and controlling access, and monitoring the activities of people and cargo.

In order to meet the aforesaid requirements, there are more than 60pcs of IP cameras implemented and controlled in central management room to provide 24x7 basis monitoring via fibre backbone network.

Problem & Issue

After 9/11 attacks in NY, the global society was alerted and threatened by terrorism, including Europe. For preventing any security breaches in monitoring a large and wide area of seaport, the region needed the most powerful and scalable system to manage busy shipping and transit traffic, security of goods and people safety. In addition to, the capability to look up for details in live videos becomes crucial, and this can only be achieved by megapixel system. For the above reasons, an IP-based surveillance system is the exact solution for this.

Solution & Benefit

As Karim Cassar, Tenders & Technical Research Executive at Alberta, said: "I selected GVD products over competitive products for its good response and support. And the system is working very well to date".
