 Sony keeps track of the longest underground railway in Europe with major networked surveillance system for Barcelona's Line 9 Sony recently revealed how it has met one of Europe's most complicated security challenges by creating and delivering an intelligent and efficient security system for Spain's Line 9. The system will provide reassurance and protection for the 90 million passengers that use Line 9 every year by connecting more cameras than the rest of the Barcelona's underground lines put together, to guarantee constant, blanket surveillance. Altogether, 2,937 SNC-CS50P IP network cameras are installed across 50 stations and 48km of track. "Line 9 will be the most advanced underground railway line in Europe," said Simon Nash, Senior European Marketing Manager, NVM/CCTV. "Its exceptional length and vast number of stations, some of which are 60 metres below street level, meant our technology had to combine total reliability with the flexibility to adapt to changes on the line's complicated infrastructure. Sony's integrated solution uses an intelligent networked surveillance system that is working seamlessly with UTE Energia Lenea 9's existing telecommunications system, providing unbeatable live and recorded image quality."
