This surveillance console at the Port of Los Angeles shows its versatility by being able to have everything within arm’s length. As with most security applications, seeing the visual cues from multiple cameras and reacting to them is the most important thing to the security officer. General typing functions are essential in order to immediately react to situations. Note that there are a number of low-profile rack mount turrets for mounting video switches and plenty of room for joysticks, phones and other peripheral devices.
