MSC Cruises launched a new vanguard video surveillance system offering even greater on-board security. MSC has developed this advanced system in collaboration with Bosch and Hewlett Packard.
The new system consists of a comprehensive shield of intelligent optical and thermal video cameras which provide nonstop comprehensive surveillance alongside the relevant exterior parts of the ship. All captured video images are streamed in real-time to a Central Security Room where the video stream is monitored together with all other inputs from the 1,200 HD CCTV cameras on board the ship.
The system is now operational on MSC Meraviglia and is a first of its kind in the industry.
