Cases

Europe’s ports, offshore platforms, and coastal facilities are critical hubs for global trade, operating in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Traditional surveillance models, compromised by high salt spray, corrosive conditions, and extreme weather, often result in frequent equipment failure, significant blind spots, and inefficient manual monitoring. Our intelligent PTZ systems, integrating multi-sensor technology and automated patrol functions, deliver seamless 24/7 surveillance. This solution enhances security coverage and response efficiency, reducing annual operational costs by 30% and cutting the equipment failure rate to under 2%.

Industry Challenges

The European maritime sector requires robust security solutions capable of withstanding highly corrosive conditions and frequent extreme weather. Conventional surveillance equipment is often insufficient, leading to:

1）Poor Environmental Adaptability: Standard PTZ systems suffer from stability issues in sustained winds exceeding 20 m/s, with lenses prone to obstruction from salt condensation and corrosion.

2）Limitations of Manual Monitoring: Reliance on 24/7 shift-based surveillance is both costly and inefficient. Human operators are challenged by limited visual range, with blind spots accounting for over 40% of coverage at night or in severe weather. Labour can constitute up to 60% of total security expenditure.

3）Delayed Response Times: The average detection time for suspicious targets—such as unauthorised vessels or intruders—can be up to 12 minutes, far exceeding the optimal industry standard of 5 minutes.

Our Solution

Our advanced PTZ system is engineered to overcome these challenges through superior design and intelligence:

1）High-Capacity Multi-Sensor Integration: Supports loads of up to 50 kg, enabling the simultaneous integration of laser rangefinders, thermal imaging modules, and radar systems for multi-source data fusion. The thermal imager detects human targets at up to 3 km in total darkness, while the radar offers a 10 km detection range for small surface vessels.

2）All-Weather Resilience: Features an IP68 protection rating and anti-corrosive surface treatment. The system withstands winds of up to 28 m/s (Beaufort 10 storm force) and humidity levels of 97%. An integrated self-heating lens hood automatically eliminates condensation to ensure consistent image clarity.

3）Intelligent Automation: Supports up to 200 preset patrol points. Onboard analytics automatically detect and tag anomalies, sending real-time alerts to security personnel and increasing target recognition accuracy to 98.5%.

Implementation & Results

Deployed across a variety of maritime scenarios, our system delivers measurable ROI:

1）Surveillance blind spots reduced to below 5%, with manual monitoring costs decreasing by 35% (Source: Client Internal Maintenance Report).

2）Annual equipment failure rate dropped to 1.8%, extending the operational lifespan to 10 years (industry average: 5–7 years).

3）The return on investment (ROI) period was shortened from an industry average of 3.2 years to 1.8 years.

Conclusion

Our intelligent PTZ system provides a resilient, cost-effective answer to the critical security demands of the maritime sector. By leveraging automation and robust engineering, we empower infrastructure operators to enhance safety, reduce operational expenditure, and navigate complex security environments with confidence.
