Shenzhen Metro Secures Subway Lines with ObjectVideo and TeraMage Video Analytics

TeraMage, an ObjectVideo manufacturing partner based in Beijing, has bagged a contract with Shenzhen Metro, the underground railway in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.
 
TeraMage will provide its ObjectVideo OnBoard-powered EagleMage intelligent video surveillance solution to help secure two of Shenzhen's future rail lines, the Line 1 Airport Extension and Line 2. Currently under construction, these two new lines will add 26 subway stations to the Shenzhen Metro system once completed.
 
Wang Weilei, president, TeraMage noted that maintaining the safety and security of public transportation systems in cities is a worldwide imperative and intelligent video has proven to be an effective tool for railway security teams who need to constantly monitor miles of rail system.
 
TeraMage worked very closely with Shenzhen Metro officials to design and deploy a system that extends the reach of human surveillance, significantly increasing the safety of the people of Shenzhen, stated Weilei.
 
Leveraging ObjectVideo’s video analytics technology EagleMage will help ensure passenger safety and security by immediately and automatically alerting security personnel when suspicious behaviors are detected on any station platform.
 
Barry Lin, managing director, WPG International (SA) indicated that as the exclusive partner of ObjectVideo in the Asia Pacific region, they are delighted to be collaborating with TeraMage to help Shenzhen Metro meet their high security objectives. His company has significant experience working with OEMs like TeraMage and is committed to working with their partners to deliver intelligent video analytics technology that makes video surveillance devices smarter.
 
ObjectVideo OnBoard, an embedded video content analysis solution, can perform a number of activities such as intelligently discerning objects of interest; distinguishing between humans, vehicles, and other objects; continuously tracking of positions for all moving and stationary targets; and recognizing if objects have been removed or left behind at designated site.
 
EagleMage is an ObjectVideo OnBoard-powered intelligent video surveillance solution. As the solution is designed in the small form factor of a stand-alone box supporting both IP and dry contact alarms, it is ideal for the confined infrastructure of subway tunnels and underground passenger platforms.
