More than 85% of transport networks across Western Europe are planning to install IP cameras in the near future. That’s according to a recent survey commissioned by Axis Communications, the market leader in network video and audio technology, in partnership with the global public transport organisation - The Union Internationale des Transports Publics (UITP).
Globally, the transport industry has led the way in using network video for both security and commercial applications. IP video surveillance is also increasingly playing a crucial role in the smooth and efficient running of significant parts of the UK’s rail network, highlighted by the successful deployment of network camera technology at the Canary Wharf Station. This helped the station facilitate 24-hour rail operations and improve passenger safety.
