Cameras Provide Smooth Sailing for Twin Sails Bridge
Keeping watch over the newly constructed Twin Sails Bridge in the small town of Poole, on the south coast of England, are six Bosch Security Systems cameras, monitoring all who pass —whether by vehicle, by foot or even by boat passing below the bridge’s deck.
Echoing Poole’s maritime history and forming part of the borough’s landmark regeneration project, the Twin Sails Bridge takes its name from the iconic shape of a yacht’s sails formed when its two triangular lifting leaves are in the up position. More important than its design, the bridge also serves two chief functions: providing access to a large regeneration site in the southeast and relieving traffic in the borough as a much-needed additional harbor crossing point.
