In the global trade and logistics industry, maritime shipping plays a pivotal role in connecting economies and transporting goods across vast distances. However, the complexities and unpredictability of ship operations in open waters pose significant challenges to safety. Accidents, mechanical failures, and human errors can lead to catastrophic consequences, including loss of life, environmental damage, and financial losses.
FOCUS VISION's DSMS (Digital Ship Monitoring System) platform is a revolutionary solution designed to address these challenges head-on. This innovative marine video monitoring system leverages AI technology and high-performance hardware to provide comprehensive, real-time oversight of ship operations, ensuring the safety of crew, cargo, and the vessel itself.
1.Visual Blind Spots and Lack of Proactive Monitoring
Ships are complex structures with numerous blind spots, such as restricted areas on the deck, engine rooms, and cargo holds. Traditional monitoring methods often rely on manual checks or outdated CCTV systems, which fail to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the entire vessel. This leaves ships vulnerable to accidents and risks, as critical areas remain unchecked.
2.Low Efficiency in Safety Management
Many ships still operate with basic video surveillance systems that lack advanced features like AI-powered analysis. These systems require constant human oversight, which is impractical and inefficient. Moreover, ships without any monitoring systems face even greater risks, as they rely solely on human vigilance to prevent accidents.
3.Delayed Response to Emergencies
Current monitoring solutions often fail to detect critical incidents in real time, such as crew fatigue, unauthorized access, or equipment malfunctions. This delay in response can escalate minor issues into major crises, endangering lives and assets.

Multi-Angle Real-Time Monitoring The DSMS platform deploys specialized cameras across the ship, covering critical areas such as the bow, stern, sides, bridge, engine room, and cargo holds. These cameras provide a 360-degree view, ensuring no blind spots remain. Real-time video feeds are transmitted wirelessly via 4G/5G, satellite, or BeiDou communication systems, allowing shore-based operators to monitor ship activities from anywhere in the world. |
2. |
AI-Powered Risk Detection and Alerts The DSMS platform is equipped with intelligent AI algorithms that can detect unsafe behaviors and environmental risks. For example, it can identify crew fatigue, unauthorized personnel on the bridge, or potential hazards like fire, smoke, or collisions. When a risk is detected, the system immediately triggers alarms, notifying both onboard and shore-based personnel to take corrective action. |
3. |
Robust and Durable Design Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of maritime environments, the DSMS platform's cameras and sensors are built to IP67 standards. This ensures they can operate reliably in high salt fog, humidity, and extreme temperatures, providing uninterrupted monitoring even in the most challenging conditions. |
4. |
Advanced Data Management and Playback The DSMS platform offers seamless integration with ship management systems, enabling efficient recording, storage, and playback of video data. With features like synchronized multi-screen playback and high-speed eSATA backup, operators can quickly review past incidents and analyze patterns to improve safety protocols. |
5. |
Proactive Maintenance and Fault Detection The DSMS platform includes a fault detection system that automatically identifies hardware malfunctions or connectivity issues. This proactive approach ensures that the system remains operational at all times, minimizing downtime and potential risks. |
6. |
Integrated Communication and Collaboration The DSMS platform supports real-time communication between onboard crew and shore-based operators. This feature enhances coordination during emergencies and allows for faster decision-making, ultimately improving response times and safety outcomes. |
Improved Efficiency and Reduced Costs | By automating risk detection and reducing the need for constant human oversight, the DSMS platform significantly lowers operational costs while improving safety management efficiency. |
Enhanced Crew Safety and Well-being | The AI-powered fatigue monitoring system ensures that crew members are alert and focused, reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by human error. This creates a safer working environment for maritime professionals. |
Seamless Integration with Existing Systems | The DSMS platform can be easily integrated with other ship systems, such as AIS (Automatic Identification System), radar, and satellite communications. This creates a unified ecosystem of safety and operational efficiency. |
Global Adoption and Scalability | FOCUS VISION's DSMS platform is designed for global use, supporting multiple communication protocols and adapting to different maritime environments. Whether it's a small fishing vessel or a large cargo ship, the DSMS platform provides tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each operator. |
