Toronto Transit Commission To Roll Out IP Video Technology To Entire Fleet

Sep 17, 2007

March Networks, a provider of intelligent IP video and business analysis applications, recently announced the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is expanding its roll-out of the company's mobile video surveillance solution to its entire fleet of public transit vehicles and has also selected the solution for deployment across its Wheel-Trans paratransit fleet. The TTC previously selected the mobile systems and software for use on its city buses and streetcars. Three hundred units are currently installed on TTC buses and March Networks expects to ship more than 1,500 additional systems by the end of fiscal year 2008, including 150 units for Wheel-Trans vehicles.

One of the largest transit authorities in North America, TTC selected the mobile solution to enhance passenger and driver security onboard its vehicles and to increase the level of service it offers to customers. The solution includes advanced enterprise video management software supported by wireless connectivity, and video recording devices designed specifically for demanding mobile environments.

"TTC's selection of our mobile solution for its paratransit vehicles, in addition to its sizeable bus and streetcar fleet, reaffirms the strength of our solution and our leadership position in the North American transportation market," said Peter Strom, president and CEO of March Networks. "We are pleased to provide TTC with high performance video surveillance capabilities that will increase operational efficiency while supporting its focus on providing a secure public transit environment."

A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.

Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video.

This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”
