U.S. Navy Waterfront: AI Perimeter Surveillance & PIV Access (Pacific Northwest)
Hanwha AI cameras for waterside detection, Genetec to unify legacy + new, DMP intrusion at magazines, and HID PIV access — hardened for salt air.
Client: U.S. Navy waterfront facility (location withheld for security). Representative engagement — details anonymized for operational security.
The challenge
A Navy waterfront facility in the Pacific Northwest needed all-weather perimeter and waterside surveillance, a single operating picture across a mix of legacy and new cameras, and PIV-credentialed access to restricted spaces — all in a corrosive marine environment that had been eating earlier hardware.
Our approach
Along the waterfront and perimeter we installed Hanwha Vision AI cameras in corrosion-resistant housings, with on-camera analytics to detect people and vessels and cut nuisance alerts from wind and waves.
Genetec Security Center unified the new Hanwha cameras with the facility's legacy video and access control under one pane of glass, so a single operator sees the whole site.
DMP intrusion protected magazines and restricted spaces, and HID PIV credentials and readers brought restricted-area access into HSPD-12 compliance.
Systems deployed
Results
- Continuous waterside and perimeter detection with AI alerts that ignore weather noise
- One operator view across previously siloed legacy and new systems
- PIV-compliant access to magazines and restricted spaces
- Hardware specified and housed to survive salt-air corrosion
