Why Rolling Stock Solutions Require IP Video Surveillance
In recent years, concerns regarding passenger safety and security for mass public transit have increased significantly and have become a major concern for countries all over the globe. Security cameras that are currently installed have some capacity for controlling crime and vandalism. However, the root solution lies in preventative measures, which is made possible by real-time, remote IP video surveillance solutions. Read on to learn more how this technology can benefit rolling stock.
How Do IP Video Surveillance Solutions Differ from Current Surveillance Solutions?
IP Video Surveillance Solutions for Trains
With traditional CCTV cameras, there is the limitation of monitoring on moving trains— this function is not supported! Moxa industrially designed IP cameras; however, can be deployed on moving trains and can be connected via a wireless network to the Internet for real-time remote access and monitoring.
IP Video Surveillance Solutions for Rail Platforms
IP video surveillance solutions use the latest technology to allow remote monitoring and control over the Internet using a regular PC or notebook computer. IP cameras can be connected through a wireless network or local area network. A single IP camera, with its remote pan/tilt/zoom capacity can provide multiple views. Personnel in a centralized control room and authorized personnel located at remote sites can monitor platform activities in real-time.
IP Video Surveillance for Rolling Stock Is an Exciting and Unstoppable Trend!
IP video surveillance is the perfect solution for onboard passenger safety and security. It allows for the remote access of live video from the control center to ensure the safety of passengers and train engineers, helps prevent crime, and offers immediate aid when necessary. Not only are IP solutions intelligent and flexible, but they also cost-efficient because cabling is reduced and future expansion is made simple.
Benefits of IP Video Surveillance in Rolling Stock Solutions
There are numerous benefits to integrating IP video surveillance solutions to rolling stock, as illustrated below:
Remote access:
Allows for remote access and monitoring from a regular computer or laptop (with network access and an Internet connection).
Digital storage:
Unlike traditional, bulky analog cassettes, footage is stored digitally. With digital data, searches are easier, and there is no need to spend long hours searching for specific images.
Crime prevention:
With remote pan/tilt/zoom IP cameras and real-time video images, security personnel can spot crime before it happens, stop criminals before they act, and provide immediate help or reinforcement. Security personnel can also quickly examine and review digital footage to discover ways of enhancing operations or determine the proper steps for preventing future incidents from occurring.
Crime investigation:
Digitally recorded footage will prove to be an invaluable weapon against crime; security personnel can save valuable time when analyzing digitally prerecorded footage to identify suspects.
Prevent vandalism:
Many riders are daily commuters, and it is important for riders to feel safe when using the train system. Vandalism lowers riders' confidence and destroys riders' sense of safety and security. When surveillance cameras spot such activities, security personnel can immediately dispatch staff to the scene to prevent the situation from escalating.
