800 Infinova surveillance cameras protect new city metro in China
Monmouth Junction, NJ (USA)
In Chongqing, cameras are located at the platforms, station centres and inside the train cars. Both the entrances and exits of metro stations have fixed cameras, each capable of viewing a person from the front as they enter a ticket-check station. In each of the metro halls, an integrated high-speed dome camera surveys the entire facility. Secluded corners also have additional fixed cameras so that these areas are not out of sight to the surveillance system.
Cameras are also on the platforms to give rail system administrators an overview of passenger flow. As a result, the system can monitor passengers entering and leaving the station centres and the cars to prevent and detect crimes, including potential terrorism and kidnapping.
