Shipboard CCTV Upgrades & Marine Surveillance Systems
Upgrade legacy CCTV to modern AHD and IP-based platforms for security, compliance readiness, and operational visibility.
Reliable onboard CCTV is central to modern maritime operations — supporting security, safety assurance, incident review, & real-time operational awareness.
Burmarc designs and delivers professional CCTV upgrade programmes for commercial vessels, modernising legacy analogue systems with robust AHD and IP-based surveillance built for shipboard environments.
Whether you are managing ageing infrastructure or planning for evolving safety expectations, we help ensure your CCTV system is fit for today’s operational standards.
Modern CCTV for Maritime Operations
Many vessels still rely on legacy systems that are:
- Low resolution and unreliable
- Difficult to support due to obsolete components
- Limited in recording, access, or coverage
- Increasingly misaligned with modern compliance expectations
A modern upgrade provides:
- Clear HD/4K visibility in critical areas
- Improved situational awareness onboard
- Faster incident investigation with higher-quality evidence
- Scalable, resilient architecture for future needs

FAQ - CCTV
Do you upgrade existing shipboard CCTV systems or only install new ones?
Most projects involve upgrading existing onboard CCTV — replacing ageing analogue systems with modern solutions while reusing infrastructure where possible to minimise disruption.
Can CCTV upgrades be delivered during planned maintenance or drydock periods?
Yes. CCTV upgrades are commonly delivered during refit or drydock, and can also be phased during operational periods depending on schedule and scope.
Do you support compliance-driven CCTV improvements, including SOLAS updates?
We plan upgrades with awareness of evolving expectations, including SOLAS 2024 Amendment (108th) and Chapter II-2 Regulation 20.4, ensuring systems support both operational needs and compliance readiness.
Can CCTV integrate with other onboard systems?
Yes. Modern CCTV integrates with vessel networks, enabling secure remote viewing, improved monitoring, and compatibility with wider onboard infrastructure.
What types of vessels do you typically support?
We deliver CCTV upgrades across commercial fleets including Ro-Ro vessels, passenger ships, and other operationally demanding maritime environments.
