GMV to supply Seville Metro’s new video-surveillance system
The technology multinational GMV has won the tender for supply of an onboard video-surveillance system for Seville Metro’s 21-train fleet.
This project entails a renewal of the operator’s current video surveillance system. GMV will be supplying new digital equipment including network electronics for rollout of a multiservice Ethernet, digital video recording equipment, video coders for digitalization of the existing camera’s analog signal, IP screens for the driver interface and antennas for Wi-Fi/4G communications with the control center.
The purpose of GMV’s new solution will be to boost security by means of internal onboard surveillance of passenger spaces and the nearby vicinity outside the bus. This will involve carrying out such functions as recording the video signal of all the train’s cameras, wireless downloading of all these signals to the control center, cabin display of camera images and video analysis in the control center.
The onboard equipment will be rounded out with the control center’s back-office software to ensure a comprehensive supply of a complete video-surveillance system. This software will allow the control office’s operator to display real time images of the different cameras, track down particular recordings and run them in various screen settings, read the recordings of technical alarms and configure the main parameters of the whole system.
The core of GMV’s video-surveillance system comprises its own inhouse digital recording equipment, also recently contracted for the 160-train fleet of Barcelona’s Metro. This equipment is compliant with the most advanced railway certifications, ensures ONVIF compatibility and is capable of making high-quality Full HD image recordings.
This project cements GMV’s position as a leading supplier of onboard video-surveillance solutions in intelligent transportation systems in 2019, after also winning notable contracts for other national railway operators such as Metro de Barcelona (TMB), Euskotren and FGV or road transport operators such as Consorcio de Transportes de Mallorca, involving the supply of a complete CCTV system for the Balearic Islands’ whole 611-bus fleet.
