Moscow Underground has installed Axis network video products as part of an integrated security system aimed at improving safety and security for passengers and staff on its subway trains. The initial installation consists of approximately 1000 network video products, with the potential for additional installations.
Roy Alves, country manager for Axis Communications South Africa, comments, "IP video is a highly effective and cost-efficient means of improving security on public transport, as we have seen in several similar installations. The completion of the installation on the main subway line is an excellent example of a successful implementation of network video in demanding transportation environments."
The installation on the main subway line Moscow Underground includes Axis network cameras, Axis video servers and Axis network video recorders. The cameras and video servers, together with Axis network video recorders, provide 24-hour recordings of high quality digital video. The products allow remote access to video on the moving trains for visual verification of alarms and to enable security personnel to respond quickly to an event.
"The rise of network video installations in the transportation sector is driven by their greater flexibility and performance benefits compared to analog video systems, and their ease of integration with existing Ethernet-based information systems on board trains and buses," says Alves. "Network video products offer a number of key advantages including high image quality, cost effective installations, remote and wireless access to live and recorded video in moving vehicles, and built-in intelligence or analytics such as tamper detection and people counting."
Moscow Underground's video surveillance installation was conducted by Axis' partner and systems integrator, Metrokom. "Axis' network video products offer exceptional technical features and possess excellent operating qualities that have proved themselves in the demanding environment of subway trains", says a representative from Metrokom.
