Rail and Intermodal Yard/Terminal Security

The cargo freight transportation industry, responsible for the movement of high-value commercial cargo and military goods, is more often targeted for theft and smuggling than other types of transportation. Criminal activity is rampant in this arena because of the value of goods shipped through intermodal means, and also because during drayage, staging, and handling, cargo is more likely to sit idle and unattended in intermodal terminals, yards, and freight-forwarding facilities.

Duos' robust, fully scalable live video monitoring systems with real-time, intelligent video capability allow port and rail authority personnel to more effectively protect intermodal cargo in rail yards and terminals. Using an IP-based architecture as a foundation, an intelligent Duos video surveillance system employs multi-camera video servers and customized software interfaces so remote users can simultaneously view and control cameras positioned throughout the yard or terminal.

A custom designed Duos system offers viewers live video for operations and security monitoring through a more stable and flexible web-enabled client/server application. In addition, users can view and control multiple cameras deployed at multiple intermodal or rail yards/terminals around the nation simultaneously in real-time, while archiving images at the push of a button. Being completely Internet-enabled, Duos' surveillance systems are especially useful to remote operations or system maintenance personnel tasked with coordinating real-time, yard, terminal, marine, and security operations.
