Video Surveillance Protects Ferry Passengers
Roughly 8 million annual passengers travel New York Harbor on N.Y. Waterway ferries, protected by an extensive, state-of-the-art video surveillance system. The system includes hundreds of Interlogix IP and analog cameras, transmitted from moving ferries to a land-based security command center via a fast-roaming wireless mesh network based on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) by Fluidmesh Networks. Paid for through a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, deployed Interlogix cameras connect via Fluidmesh’s MPLS-based wireless mesh network. The service provides seamless connectivity to transmit live video from the ferries, terminals and landings.
