Station redevelopment heralds HDTV surveillance ‘first’

Network Rail has awarded certificates of acceptance to a range of the company’s IP cameras which are set to improve coverage at the redeveloped station.

Explaining Network Rail’s reasons for selecting the cameras following a trial, Raul Marquez, a senior project engineer for Network Rail, said:

“We analysed footage of customers passing through the ticket barriers and very quickly realised that by using just two megapixel cameras from Axis we were able to see far wider coverage of the station.

“Axis worked closely with us throughout the trial period and recommended a range of cameras suitable for our varying needs. We chose Axis cameras as they provide excellent image quality and a breadth of coverage that analogue cameras are just unable to achieve.

“Axis cameras are also extremely easy to install which in a station is a real plus point, as cameras can be relocated very quickly and easily if the need arises. These cameras are also a greener option as they use less power than our previous analogue CCTV system and are simpler to maintain.”

The cameras are being deployed as each new platform is constructed and completion is expected by April 2013.
