The MD7560D is a 2-megapixel vandal-proof mobile surveillance network camera developed by VIVOTEK that is designed for transportation applications such as buses, trains, and other vehicles. Being compliant with the EN50155 standard for electrical devices installed on railways, the camera can withstand shock, vibration, fluctuations, and conditions presented on rapid transit trains, maintaining stable and reliable video during vehicle movement. Featuring a 1600×1200 resolution, the makers say that the MD7560D can produce detailed and clear images, simplifying the identification of people and objects. Video footage of passenger activity within or accidents outside the cabins can be captured and recorded in mobile network video recorders installed inside each trolleybus as post-event evidence.

Thanks to New Line Technologies, 110 units of VIVOTEK’s MD7560D network camera have been fully integrated in the preliminary stage. Consequently, MD7560D proved to be the most ideal choice for reinforcing the transportation security of the residents of Szeged and creating a safer city environment. In the following stage, additional MD7560D shall be incorporated into old, camera-absent SZKT bus cabins, as well as new bus cabins.”
