Hikvision guarantees security and operation in the Port of Huelva

The installation you have developed Hikvision consists of almost 200 cameras, that combine thermal and visual technology, and provide perimeter security, video surveillance, access control and support in ship traffic management.

Hikvision has equipped the Port of Huelva with intelligent video technology that guarantees the security of the premises and facilitates the control operations of large ships.

The installation that Hikvision has developed, coordinated by the Magal integrator, consists of almost 200 cameras of different types that provide complete visual control of the perimeter and interior of the port, through the combination of thermal technology and conventional vision cameras; a vessel detection system (positions them 12 kilometers and identifies them three kilometers away); and access and exit control through cameras with license plate recognition.

All installed subsystems are managed in a unified way through the tool Hikcentral, which is what gives full convergence to the project.

“All the camera technology is Hikvision's own”, explains Juan de la Pedraja, responsible for the critical infrastructure vertical of Hikvision Iberia. “Our system provides security on the premises, access control, ship detection… And everything integrated under one management tool: Hikcentral. “It is a very complete project.”

From the Port of Huelva itself, They recognize that this management and security system was a necessity.

“It is the largest in Spain and we needed a robust system, flexible and efficient. The one we have installed has given us security and ease of operation”, assures Manuel Francisco Martínez Torres, head of the Technology and Information Systems department.

José Manuel Alcázar, commercial director of Magal, corroborates the difficulty of the project and the success of its implementation. “Son 10 kilometers of high security fencing and almost 200 cameras that monitor every centimeter of the port. The integration has been very demanding and having Hikvision has been essential”.
