Security Camera Systems in Public Transportation

Public transportation systems face a wide array of security threats from vandalism on up to unconscionable acts of terrorism. A security camera system can go a long way in protecting passengers, employees, vehicles and facilities from potential threats. Common environments for transportation surveillance include, buses, trains, subway stations, airports and ferry terminals. New security camera systems, such as those which use IP network cameras and digital technology, provide a wealth of advantages over analog CCTV equipment when it comes to providing effective surveillance in these areas.

Remote video monitoring, for instance, allows security personnel to monitor network cameras remotely from network PCs and even handheld devices such as cell phones and PDAs. Footage can be stored digitally, allowing for more expansive archiving and advanced searching capabilities. Another major feature with IP-based security camera systems is the incorporation of video analytics. Cameras infused with video analytics are capable of advanced, intelligent functionality such as people counting, sophisticated motion detection, facial and behavioral recognition, and the ability to recognize abandoned objects. Many transportation systems are looking to do whatever it takes to stop potential threats before they happen. Security camera systems often provide invaluable visual evidence for investigations, but with technology such as video analytics, detecting disturbances before, or as they develop, should prove to be a more common occurrence.
