The harbour in Lavagna is one of the largest in the entire Mediterranean. Its 1,600 berths make it a destination for ships and yachts from all over the world. The requirement to integrate the harbour as part of the city while safeguarding the boats against theft and vandalism without limitations was not an easy task. However, 64 DualDome cameras, 3 Allround cameras and 12 hemispheric cameras from MOBOTIX provide an overview of the entire harbour area.
In addition to image quality, the weather-resistant robust housings and the wide operating temperature range from -30 to +60 °C are the most important decision-making criteria in favour of the MOBOTIX solution. Personnel from the security staff and law enforcement authorities are the only ones permitted to have viewing access to the network cameras. The number of on-board thefts has been significantly reduced since the installation. Moreover, the video recording allowed four perpetrators to be identified and handed over to police authorities for unlawful appropriation.
