Greater security in transportation environments

Several transportation authorities have chosen network video to improve safety and security in their transit systems, or to view and share real-time information on traffic and road conditions. As a result, they benefit from:

• A safer environment for passengers and staff
• Less vandalism, violence and fraudulent insurance claims
• Real-time access to live and recorded images
• A future-proof, flexible surveillance solution.
   

Mobile surveillance on bus and rail systems

Network cameras from Axis help to create a safe environment on buses, subways and trains. In addition, they offer the following capabilities:

• High-quality images that leave no room for misinterpretation
• Built-in tampering alarm that automatically alerts if the camera is manipulated
• Flexible and cost-efficient installation thanks to the use of standard IP networking and Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Built-in heater to ensure full functionality at all temperatures.

Surveillance of airports, stations and terminals

There are multiple reasons for monitoring larger transportation facilities such as airports, train stations and subway platforms. Network video offers a surveillance solution that provides high quality video of incidents and exposes potential threats. You also benefit from built-in intelligent features that add value to your surveillance system. One example is motion detection, which makes it possible to automatically send an alert when a person is walking on the tracks or someone is entering a restricted area.

Infrastructure information – traffic, roads & tracks

The demand for real-time traffic and road condition information is rapidly increasing. And the introduction of network video creates new possibilities for efficient gathering and sharing of high quality video information to different target groups:

• Commuters can easily access live video from a computer anywhere
• First responders can quickly determine the best route and see which conditions to expect upon arrival
• News stations get live input to traffic information bulletins
• Maintenance crews can more easily prioritize their work orders.
