MetrôRio updates its security system with IndigoVision

The manufacturer of comprehensive IP video security solutions, IndigoVision, has been chosen by MetrôRio, the metro network of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, to replace your outdated analog surveillance system with a complete IP video security solution that protects the 700.000 people who use this transport service daily.

MetrôRio, the Rio de Janeiro metro system, has implemented a comprehensive video solution of IndigoVision to protect the 700.000 passengers it receives daily and to provide possibilities for expanding its service. MetrôRio chose IndigoVision to replace its old analog system thanks to the image quality of its cameras, that allow an accurate identification of the individuals present in the security recordings, and the flexibility offered by IP security systems, that can be expanded to accommodate the growth of the metro system.

Newton Werneck, IT Director at MetrôRio, has declared: “The image quality offered by IndigoVision is excellent and the distributed architecture of the system will allow the surveillance network to grow along with the subway system.”.

Another crucial factor in obtaining the MetrôRio contract is the high efficiency and small size for system file storage.. The required storage capacity is significantly reduced compared to other IP video systems thanks to IndigoVision's advanced compression technology and the use of the activity-driven Frame Rate per second feature (Activity Controlled Framerate or ACF), integrated to IP cameras. ACF function regulates the frame rate per second of video streaming based on the movement of a particular scene.

IndigoVision's system also provides MetrôRio with enhanced incident storage and network-wide content distribution; IndigVision's distributed architecture eliminates the need for a central server.

IndigoVision's Brazilian Partner, Setha Prossegur, worked with MetrôRio to create the surveillance system, which includes 141 fixed IP cameras, 21 PTZ cameras and approximately 700 existing analog cameras that have been integrated into the system via IndigoVision encoders. A network video recorder has been placed (NVR-AS 3000) of IndigoVision at each station, with a backup between stations.

Advantages
· High-quality image that translates into accurate identification of individuals
· High-quality surveillance protection for passengers
