The integration of CCTV empowers railway operators to not only detect and locate track trespassers in real-time but also visually identify them. This advancement significantly boosts security and situational awareness along railway tracks.
Sensonic’s DAS technology serves as a virtual fence, utilizing fiber optic cables to detect vibrations and identify suspicious activity along railway tracks spanning tens of kilometers. With the addition of CCTV cameras to the security system, operators can now activate nearby cameras to capture images and video footage for identification and prosecution purposes. Key benefits of Sensonic’s DAS with integrated CCTV include enhanced trespasser detection and identification, improved situational awareness, a cost-effective solution, and scalability and flexibility to adapt to specific railway network needs.
“This innovative solution represents a significant advancement in railway security, offering unparalleled effectiveness and efficiency,” said Lindsay McInnes, Director of Product Management. “By integrating CCTV with DAS detection, we provide a powerful tool to close detection gaps, to safeguard rail networks, and priorities the safety of passengers and personnel.”
