Long perimeters, constant traffic, full traceability.
A port has kilometres of fence, gates that never stop moving and documentation requirements that follow every vehicle and visitor. Sitewatch turns cameras, sensors and gates into verified events so the control room can act on what matters instead of watching everything.
What ports usually struggle with
- Kilometres of fence line where camera alarms without context create constant noise.
- Gate traffic around the clock, with hauliers arriving outside staffed hours.
- Drones over quays, terminals and restricted areas with no reliable detection.
- Access documentation spread across systems when an ISPS audit asks for it.
From signal to action
Detection at the perimeter or gate
Video analytics, fence sensors, ANPR or a drone detector registers the event.
Classification and context
The object is classified as person or vehicle, video and position are attached and duplicates are merged.
Automatic response
Lights turn on, a spoken message is played, a gate stays closed or a camera follows the object.
Control room or guard
The event reaches the control room, the port facility security officer or a guard with video and a recommended action.
What you get
Perimeter protection
Fence line, quay edge and open storage areas covered with analytics tuned for outdoor conditions.
Gate control with ANPR
Plate recognition, permission lists and one verified record per vehicle.
Drone detection
Detection and classification of drones over restricted areas with local analysis.
Classified video
People and vehicles separated from weather, wildlife and moving equipment.
Access control
Gates, doors and barriers with roles per terminal and time window.
Terminal operations
Sensor and operational data on the same event model as the security events.
Why teams choose Sitewatch
- Far fewer false alarms along the fence line
- Every vehicle entry documented with plate, time and images
- Drone activity detected instead of discovered afterwards
- Access logs ready for ISPS and internal audits
- No security data leaves the EU
Frequently asked questions
Can Sitewatch cover a perimeter of several kilometres?
Yes. The platform is built for large sites and combines cameras, fence sensors and radar style detection so coverage can be built section by section.
How does this support ISPS work?
Every access event and every camera view is logged with user, time and purpose, which makes it straightforward to produce documentation for a port facility security assessment.
Do we need staff at the gate?
No. Unattended gate management handles identification, decision and logging automatically, with an operator involved only for exceptions.
