The project has been developed by the Etracontrol installer, along with the contribution of By Demes Group's engineering and project department, with Dahua visualization equipment.

The Port Authority of Cartagena (Apc) is the public body responsible for managing, coordination and efficiency control of the Port of Cartagena (Murcia). This facility has two separate and independent docks: Cartagena and Escombreras, with a distance between the two 1,5 miles by sea and 5 Km by road.

With the aim of renewing the security system of 5.000 meters from the perimeter of the Port of Cartagena, the APC trusted the videowall solution offered by the installer Etracontrol, designed in conjunction with David Rico, project manager of the engineering and project department By Demes Group.

The Port of Cartagena already had perimeter protection through CCTV- IP and more than a hundred surveillance cameras deployed, both analog and thermal and multi-brand PTZ domes.

For the control of all equipment, a 4K Dahua M70-4U-E multiservice video matrix was chosen, with redundant power supply. In addition, a special FW was made for touch keyboards to facilitate the operation of port agents.

As the APC's head of security has pointed out, Pepe Segura, "the advice of Etracontrol and By Demes Group was decisive for the choice of project among the different proposals. They immediately understood our concerns, offering us different alternatives to cover the necessary safety of the facilities. The improvement was significant, especially in the operation of port agents, much faster in terms of viewing cameras and hotspots, and regarding the choice of cameras and the composition of monitors".

Etracontrol's project manager, Veronica Astorga, notes that "both in the study phase and in the implementation phase the results have been satisfactory. By Demes was present at the start-up, and even the manufacturer participated (Dahua) for two days at the APC control center".

In this sense, is responsible remembers that "the customer -APC- asked for some modifications to the mode of operation of the control keyboard, that were necessary in terms of user privileges, and Dahua engineers developed a firmware in record time, installed remotely with the help of By Demes, we count on as one more part of our technical-commercial team thanks to the synergies created".
