Illinois International Port District
The Illinois International Port District will be getting a major security upgrade in the coming years. Fence sensors, automated video, access control and more will be integrated at a pair of sister facilities on the Calument/Lake Michigan watershed, and building systems integrator Siemens Building Technologies has landed the contract, which includes the creation of a perimeter surveillance system.
The system, when the integration is completed, will give a “bird’s eye” view of the combined port facility and can position security data onto that “map” of the facility. State-of-the-art video analytics will be part of the project; software will be used with video data to help identify what each type of object is, based on recordable properties such as the object’s height, width and speed.
