Surveillance of the sea borders is a very important task for the Border Guard. Monitoring of country maritime border is an important task of the Border Guard. This task can be facilitated with the use of the technology enabling gathering information from distributed sources and its supervision and visualization. This task can be accomplished using a technology that allows to collect information from distributed sensors of different types, unify the collected information, and present the synchronized data. The system presented in the paper is an extension and enhancement of the previously developed distributed map data exchange system. The added functionality allows to supplement the map data with multimedia (telephone and radio calls, video (cameras), photos, files, SMS/SDS) and presentation of current and archival situation on a multi-display screen in the Events Visualization Post. In the paper, the system architecture, functionality and main system elements are described and supported with preliminary analysis and test results.
