YAHUD, Israel, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Magal Security Systems reports it has been contracted by Spanish authorities to provide a variety of systems and services as part of a port security project.
The contract carries a value of $2.1 million.
Systems to be provided for the Port of Tarragona in Spain include coverage of the port's perimeter with taut wire detection and decorative smart fencing enforced by microwave sensors and infrared beams. CCTV legacy coverage will also be extended by 150 new day/night and thermal cameras.
Magal said the port's seaside will be monitored by six new dual technology (thermal and CCD) high resolution cameras, with accurate positioning and intelligent video analytics using the company's MTC 1500i system.
The Magal systems -- together with the port's legacy systems -- will be fully integrated into a new state-of-the-art control center managed by Magal's advanced command and control platform, called Fortis, to enable mobile land and marine police to interact with the system.
"The port was always secured in a reasonable manner yet we had a set of diverse systems, each with its own management console," said Joan Bergada, head of the Spanish Harbor Police. "Magal's Fortis enables us to operate our new and legacy systems, as well as PSIM and SIEM, easily and intuitively, through a unified platform."
