According to the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention, the port must provide system video and control to many different departments, including Customs, Frontier Defense, the Harbour Bureau and Police. As many of these departments are not located at the port, use of a network is the only way to transmit system signals. With an installed Pelco DX8000 digital video recorder and a System 9760 matrix, both local and remote network users can access the system. A further SOLAS Convention requirement is that the port provides the local Maritime Bureau with recorded video of each anchored ship. As the video records are for domestic and international use, they are required to be extremely clear and with the original watermark; the DX8000 fully meets this requirement.
