Thompson AVC is currently updating CCTV across 12 West Coast Mainline Stations. The original requirement was to provide recording profiles at each of the stations based on the category of the station. Larger stations required complex recording profiles with a mix of recording systems and compression methods, while smaller stations needed a simpler profile. Further requirements included the need for a distributed recording system, centralised access for monitoring and review, local access for transport of evidence, and variable recording profiles for scene type.

Systems Integrator, Thompson AVC was selected by Virgin Trains to deliver the project within an ambitious 6 month time scale. We have mixed real-time recording of essential cameras with time-lapse recording of generic cameras, all within a very tight footprint of systems, keeping costs down.

“We are delighted with the quality of evidence we are passing on to the police. Our security staff have swiftly embraced Visimetrics system and it has now become an essential tool in reducing crime and the fear of crime in and around our stations” – Richard Hands, Virgin Trains Senior Project Manager responsible for the delivery on the project.

When you work with Thompson AVC you will be assigned a project manager, who will be your point of contact throughout the delivery of the project and beyond. It is this person’s responsibility to ensure your requirements are met and to keep you informed.

The hospital has a number of specific requirements. Staff need to be able to track individuals throughout their large site, which includes 20 different departments as well as car parks vulnerable to petty crime. Besides a central control desk for monitoring and managing the whole system, seven areas require their own local recording and monitoring facilities.

The installed system provides near real-time video transmission and provides both local control and central management without the need for expensive cabling. Functions such as as motion search™, for locating movement in recorded pictures, and synchronised playback™ for simultaneous display of pictures recorded from different cameras, provide useful analysis tools.

The hospital has future building plans, so the control desk has been setup to be easy to move, and the system is open to expansion. This means that the Trust has a solution which not only meets their immediate needs but is totally future proofed.
