Background
In the greater New York area, ferries are a critical part of the transportation infrastructure, especially during emergency events such as the 2003 Blackout, Hurricane Sandy and 9/11. NY Waterway needed a video solution that could feed into a centralized system for efficient command and control of their fleet of vessels.
Homeland security considerations demanded high-quality images that could be transmitted in real time, streaming from the ferries with open-sourced equipment durable enough to handle salt air and water along with the area’s extreme seasonal temperatures.
Solution
Interlogix IP and analog cameras were installed on the ferries and terminals, delivering reliable performance in adverse conditions with exceptional image-capturing abilities even in difficult lighting conditions. DVR 11s and IFS switches were also installed on the ferries and were able to stream data perfectly in real time, while vessels were moving, and transmit it to central command. The cameras and DVRs worked seamlessly with the wireless mesh network and dashboard components to form a holistic system that now protects 100 miles of waterways.
