GOST showcasing new technologies at Maritime Security East

(FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.) (March 4) — GOST (Global Ocean Security Technologies), a world leader in marine security, tracking, monitoring and video surveillance systems, announced today that it will highlight its newest commercial maritime products at the 2015 Maritime Security East conference in Jacksonville, Fla., March 10 through 12.

Designed to withstand the rigors of commercial maritime use, the GOST Watch HD H20 is a revolutionary new video surveillance system, housed in a compact, IP67 certified waterproof, impact-resistant, fiberglass container. The unit can be installed quickly and includes a high-speed 4G LTE data communicator, gateways for up to five cameras, a control unit and a GOST Watch HD Internet video recorder. The unit allows for 90 days of continuous recording and the ability to watch and control cameras online securely from anywhere in the world using a simple Web interface. This product is actively used to deliver offsite site streaming video to many local and federal municipalities.

With the release of the H2O system, GOST is proud to announce that its full line of commercial maritime products is now available on the federal government’s GSA Schedule. Products can be purchased through the sole source vendor, Nord Atlantic USA.

GOST will also showcase its GOST Watch HD system’s integration with FLIR M-Series cameras. Developed in partnership with FLIR, vessels equipped with M-Series thermal cameras can now remotely access and stream video surveillance with an easy-to-use, web-based pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) and mode control interface via the GOST Watch HD website. The website features an on-screen puck that allows users to remotely control their camera just as if they were at the helm with the puck in hand. A one touch “Surveillance Scan” button allows users to instantly perform a peripheral sweep of the area immediately surrounding the vessel. The GOST Watch HD apps also allow customers to access and view their cameras from iPhone or Android mobile devices.

“The Maritime Security East conference is a fantastic opportunity to interact with a targeted group of federal and local law enforcement professionals,” said Brian Kane, director of research and development, GOST. “We are excited to demonstrate the value provided by the situational awareness our GOST Watch HD H20 gives to these professionals, as well as learn about and experience the latest trends in maritime security technology.”

GOST was selected as a presenter at the Maritime Security Caribbean conference in Nassau last October and is now continuing participation in this event as an exhibitor. Hosted by Homeland Security Outlook, the Maritime Security East conference provides discussions and keynote addresses on strategies to counter maritime security threats. The exhibits allow participants to interact directly with developers of the latest technologies, while workshop sessions are focused on helping attendees better understand specific areas of responsibility — stressing the importance of collaboration and efficiency. The conference addresses the needs of government agencies, law enforcement organizations, and other organizations’ to face the challenges of securing coastlines, inland waterways and critical infrastructure.
