CCTV Systems

In the maritime context, CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) Systems refer to the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific, limited set of monitors on a ship or offshore installation. These systems are primarily used for surveillance and security purposes, providing real-time monitoring and recording of activities in various areas of the vessel or platform. CCTV systems are crucial in enhancing safety and security on board, helping to detect and prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, and other potential threats. They also play a significant role in monitoring and controlling operations, especially in hazardous areas or situations where human presence may pose risks. For instance, in cargo handling operations, CCTV systems can help monitor the condition of cargo, detect any irregularities, and ensure safe and efficient operations. Moreover, in case of incidents or accidents, the recorded footage from CCTV systems can serve as valuable evidence for investigations. In the maritime industry, the design, installation, and maintenance of CCTV systems must comply with specific standards and regulations to ensure their reliability and effectiveness in different maritime conditions.
