CCTV

Station CCTV renewed on the live railway, under Network Rail assurance.

Railway station CCTV and video surveillance systems (VSS): replacement, analogue to IP migration, commissioning and maintenance on the operational railway.

CCTV replacement and migration chainIP cameras and retained analogue cameras, the analogue ones through new encoders, connect to switches and network video recorders in the station node cabinet, and on to the video management system in the control room.CamerasMigrationStation nodeControl roomIP cameraNewAnalogue cameraRetainedEncoderAnalogue onto IPSwitches and NVRUPS and cabinetVideo managementOperator positionsWorkshop provenCamerasMigrationStation nodeControl roomIP cameraNewAnalogue cameraRetainedEncoderAnalogue onto IPSwitches and NVRUPS and cabinetVideo managementOperator positions

Overview

Mixed analogue and IP estates, carried onto IP recording

The CCTV estates TDM has renewed mixed analogue and IP cameras of different ages. Each programme decides which cameras stay, which are replaced, and how the retained ones reach IP recording, then delivers the change on the operational railway.

Survey and design

Every camera audited before the design

Each programme starts with a dilapidation survey and a pre-installation audit of the existing estate. Reference design and detailed design follow, with the consents the site requires.

CCTV survey, migration planning and designTDM starts each CCTV programme with a dilapidation survey and a pre-installation audit of the existing estate, which can mix analogue and IP cameras. The migration plan sets out which cameras are retained, with retained analogue cameras carried onto IP-based recording, and which are replaced.

Configuration and commissioning

Configured in Crawley, commissioned on site

Video management systems, network video recorders, cameras, switches and UPS equipment are configured and proven in TDM’s Crawley workshop before they reach site. On site, TDM installs the equipment, completes testing against the Inspection and Test Plan, commissions the system and hands it into service.

CCTV configuration, commissioning and handoverTDM configures and proves video management systems, network video recorders, cameras, switches and UPS equipment in its workshop before they reach site, then installs the equipment on the live operational railway, tests it against the Inspection and Test Plan and commissions the system. Handover includes O&M documentation, and TDM delivered completed programmes under Network Rail asset assurance and handed them back into service.TDM workshopOn siteHandoverConfiguration and provingCameras and switchesVMSNVRsUPSEquipment installationOn the live operational railwaySite testingAgainst the Inspection and Test PlanSystem commissioningO&M documentationEntry into ServiceCompleted programmes handed backunder Network Rail asset assuranceTDM workshopOn siteHandoverConfiguration and provingCameras and switches, VMS, NVRs, UPSEquipment installationOn the live operational railwaySite testingAgainst the Inspection and Test PlanSystem commissioningO&M documentationEntry into ServiceCompleted programmes handed back under Network Railasset assurance

Network infrastructure

Switches and cabinets from camera to control room

Project records include switches, external cabinets and the data and network infrastructure that connects cameras to recording and to the control room.

Data and Network Infrastructure

Integrated systems

Part of a wider SISS scope

At one station, the CCTV scope formed part of an integrated SISS installation with customer information systems and Help Points, delivered under a single design and consent. In a security operations centre project, TDM upgraded the video management system alongside the control room video wall and source integration.

When construction surrounds a station, TDM keeps its cameras in service on temporary cabling, moves them clear of scaffolding and reinstates them afterwards.

Control Rooms
CCTV within integrated systemsAt one station, TDM delivered the CCTV scope as part of a complete CCTV, customer information system and Help Point installation under a single design and consent, with the network infrastructure and cabinets that connect them.

Maintenance

Older platforms kept in support

Installed systems are maintained through planned and corrective maintenance where a contract includes it. Where the contract includes it, TDM supports legacy platforms too, including test-rig validation of older equipment.

Monitoring

Device, recording and storage status for fault response

Supported CCTV environments can provide device, connectivity, recording and storage information for monitoring and fault response.

Why TDM

Less time in possessions, one supplier for the whole system

  • Delivered under Network Rail assurance

    Completed programmes were delivered under Network Rail asset assurance and handed back into service.

  • Proven before it reaches site

    Workshop configuration and proving reduce the work carried out in possessions and on platforms.

  • One supplier across the system

    Cameras, recording, video management, network infrastructure and cabinets are delivered as a single scope.
