Technology is increasingly the key variable in defining the concept of defence.
When talking about surveillance, the combination of high technology with a well-prepared operating team can ensure maximum reliability. Technology can ensure the desired levels of security, minimising human error, but giving operators the indispensable margin for manoeuvre they need to take the right decision in each situation.
- The sector presents various specific challenges:
- Perimeter surveillance via video cameras with software-based intruder detection
- Use of thermal cameras for surveillance of unlit areas, detection of sea-borne vessels or for areas with reduced visibilty (fog)
- Simple and intuitive interface even for inexperienced operators: the best solution when operators are frequently rotated
- Number plate detection system used as an access control system. This system ensures greater control of a base and allows for simple management. Once a vehicle's number plate has been entered into the system, it is authorised. The system can also complement other access control systems: magnetic stripe cards, RFID, etc.
