Sony secures Barcelona's longest railway network

Sony secures Barcelona's longest railway network

Sony provides with a blanket survailance system for Barcelona's Line 9. It has installed 2937 SNC-CS50P IP network cameras across 50 stations and 48km of track. Sony's SNC-CS50P cameras feature a highly sensitive 1/3' SuperExwave CCD, a high-capacity varifocal lens and support a range of compression formats. The SNC-CS50P cameras are run through recording software platform, which minimises the threat of sabotage to the network and makes the expansion process of adding cameras and file servers simple. The artificial intelligence of Sony's SNC-CS50P camera means that hazardous situations occurring along Line 9 can be detected in real time.
Dangers such as overcrowding on platforms, disruptions to the flow of pedestrian traffic, or abandoned bags, and any associated threats these situations create can be communicated as a warning to the control centre. This system automatically monitors risk situations; the network allows the control centre to receive pictures from each camera simultaneously with visibility to each location at virtually the same time regardless of the number of cameras operators have on screen.
