Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) sought to replace its video surveillance. Hanwha Vision cameras from its X and P series, including a vandal-resistant network dome camera, plus PTZ cameras and network boxes, have been installed and in use since 2021.
The cameras have functions and analytics such as audio detection, automatic lens distortion correction and WDR (wide dynamic range, for the ironing out of too bright or too dark scenes). If an event occurs, the domes can switch to PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom).
The cameras also feature tamper detection and fog detection. SBB is increasingly using the X and P series with the option of remote lens alignment. That the alignment and the lens can be adjusted and corrected remotely cuts out the need for on-site adjustment.With video analytics, such as loitering detection and virtual line-crossing and area detection, carried out on the device, the cameras deliver motion detection, meaning the the operators can see if there is unauthorised entry to any restricted areas. The integrated AI supports the differentiation between people and vehicles, the manufacturer adds.
Chei Seung-Kyoo, responsible for Technology Video at SBB said: โWe are very satisfied with the performance of the Hanwha Vision cameras. They help us to secure our stations and buildings, optimise processes in rail operations, improve public safety and ensure that our trains run on time.โ
