Trains Passengers Benefit from Wavelet Technology
by Chris Williams
The requirement to monitor passenger safety on the metro in Sao Paulo has been addressed by the installation of a large network of Wavestore DVR & management systems.
An installation of 85 Wavestore units and multiple cameras in the train stations are linked to a number of monitoring centres using Remote Client software. This feature enables the various monitoring centres to access any camera across the entire network and enables specific operational activities to be conducted simultaneously and yet independently.
The monitoring centres can each assign a unique identification to each of the cameras they are monitoring, (in any language based on the European character set) independent of the other monitoring centres.
The monitoring centres can also utilise the Very Fast Find feature of Wavestore to search and review recorded data for specific events, whilst the Wavestore system continues to record.
A variety of external alarms are also monitored, including panic buttons, safe opening of doors, intrusion of restricted zones and rail system failure. All events are interfaced to the specific camera and displayed at the Monitoring Centres using TCP/IP protocol.
About Wavestore
The Wavestore DVR and Management System is designed and manufactured by Wavelet Technology Marketing Limited (WTML) in Hayes, Middlesex, UK.
Wavestore is a multi-channel, real-time audio/video recording system that interfaces to access controls, alarms and control systems to provide high integrity monitoring of all areas of interest. Operating on the LINUX platform, Wavestore never stops recording, whilst simultaneously providing high-speed find, view, transmit and archive functions.
Excellent image quality is achieved through the combination of proprietary high-speed digital hardware, providing up to 50 pps per camera on all cameras, and the wavelet compression technology. Text can be automatically generated onto the recording, adding to the date & time data, such details as personnel or vehicle ID and authorisation level.
A remote client software development tool, which is designed to operate on a Windows platform, allows the user to design unique viewing screens to show either or both recorded and live images, and automatically display images from any camera that has been triggered.
A single Wavestore unit can provide up to 20 individual camera control and recording functions, however the Linux design enables multiple Wavestore units to be easily networked together to support hundreds of users and thousands of cameras.
The system allows those users to be assigned password profiles to access specific cameras and permit them to assign unique local references to those cameras in any international language supported by the western keyboard. The combination of an open software platform (LINUX) and Wavestores hardware and software development road map permits an installation to be upgraded and expanded to achieve a projected ten-year life span.
A host of additional features includes embedded software for all leading PTZ cameras, dynamic motion detection, areas of interest intelligent search and the export of selected data to CD or DVD. Wavestore installations can be integrated, monitored and managed across LAN/WAN, ADSL, ISDN, Internet or Ethernet networks.
Wavestore is installed internationally through a network of approved installers who provide the first line support for technical and commercial requirements.
