IP security solutions provider DVTel Inc. says Broward County’s Port Everglades has chosen the DVTel Intelligent Security Operations Center (iSOC) platform for its security management upgrade.

When the upgrade’s first phase is complete, the system will have in place more than 200 fixed and pan/tilt/zoom cameras monitoring port entry and exit points, and providing surveillance of the port perimeter, as well as waterside activities. More than 5,800 ships call at Port Everglades annually. The port is one of southern Florida's strongest economic engines with annual operating revenues of approximately $100 million and total waterborne commerce exceeding 23 million tons in liquid, break bulk and containerized cargoes

The DVTel project is being done in collaboration with Lenel, ObjectVideo, StorageTek, FLIR, and Bosch. Systems integrator Security One Systems Inc. is installing and integrating the systems.
