Transnet Freight Rail maintains an extensive rail network that represents 80 per cent of South Africa’s entire rail infrastructure. It will use NiceVision Net to monitor and record images from thousands of IP video surveillance cameras located throughout 670 sites across the country.
Three control centers will centrally manage the surveillance and security of all sites, coordinating the appropriate responses to threats and events. This is designed to enable Transnet Freight Rail to enhance its security and protect its highly distributed assets and buildings across South Africa.
Kay Nayager, national manager of security technology for Transnet Freight Rail, said: “It is essential for our surveillance teams to be able to monitor and seamlessly record images from the thousands of IP-based video cameras installed throughout the country, ensuring the safe passage of all assets being transported across our rail infrastructure. Nice’s IP-based security solution provides us with the tools to do this.”
The NiceVision Net architecture covers the video security components required for high performance surveillance including encoders, NVRs, event management and control room visualisation.
