The same technology, developed in 2003, is now available for commercial vessels. The shipboard security modules are engineered to enhance and expand the ability to detect and alarm crew of unauthorized boarding or tampering with secure areas. The electronic system allows crew members to monitor selected locations simultaneously through- out the ship. The fully-integrated system works on a touch screen that com- bines real-time video surveillance, alarms at points of entry, hull perimeter lighting and audible warning systems to alert the crew of encroachments and unauthorized breaches.
