Raytec IR LED illuminators enhance security at the Port of Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal
As hubs for trade and transport, ports are vulnerable to terrorism, theft and criminal activity. Port security planners face significant challenges as they seek to comply with the standards set down in the International Maritime Organisation’s security convention (the ISPS code) which was developed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. "At key shipping hubs like Lisbon, our high performance lighting solutions play an essential role in delivering 24 hour around the clock surveillance in tough environmental conditions," says Raytec’s director David Lambert.
"CCTV technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated, but no matter how powerful the cameras become, and how intelligent the software behind them gets, good lighting will always be the essential foundation which is required for these systems to work properly. Without light there can be no picture."
