Cargo Ship Security: Salt-Proof Eyes From Bow to Engine Room

What Threatens a Ship at Sea

Salt eats ordinary cameras
Engine rooms that can explode
Fire found too late at sea
A man overboard, unseen
Blind corners in steel mazes

Six Jobs This System Does

Bow and stern that see far
Ex zones under certified watch
Holds read for heat
A crew that's watched over
Leaks caught as they start
Evidence found by asking

The Numbers That Matter

Key capabilities from the official solution:
Bow/stern cameras: 33× optical zoom, self-cleaning wipers, 316L stainless anti-salt housings
Engine room and fuel tanks: Ex cameras in 316L with ATEX and IECEx certification, IR night view
Smart NVR: 64 channels, RAID 0/1/5/6/10, 90+ AI algorithms — all onboard, no shore link needed
Man-overboard detection plus fall, fight, smoking, climbing and gathering analytics
Environmental watch: fire, smoke, temperature, water/oil/gas leak detection
