Newark Container Terminal Upgrades Video Surveillance

The Port Newark Container Terminal completed the phase two deployment of Firetide's wireless video surveillance network that enables security and safety officers to view live indoor and outdoor video feeds of the 180-acre port facility and its operations, Firetide said. The first phase of the Firetide wireless infrastructure mesh video network was deployed in 2008. Firetide's wireless network provides live indoor and outdoor video feeds of workers unloading cargo from incoming ships and moving containers throughout the site. The video cameras monitor safety violations, provide accident verification, and monitor vehicle and foot access to and from the facility, Firetide said. The network includes 54 Firetide HotPort 7020 wireless mesh nodes and 70 Bosch VG4 500i series point-tilt-zoom IP surveillance cameras at multiple locations throughout the facility.
