Footage can be downloaded at depots or transmitted wirelessly to control centres. Onboard cameras significantly improve passenger safety, deter antisocial behaviour, protect drivers, and provide crucial evidence for incident investigations.

How long is transport CCTV footage stored and who can access it?

Storage duration depends on transport regulations and your organisation's data retention policy, typically 30-90 days for general surveillance with longer retention for specific incidents under investigation or RAIB requirements. We configure automatic deletion ensuring compliance with retention policies. Access to CCTV footage is strictly controlled with user authentication, role-based permissions, audit logging of all footage viewing, and procedures for police or RAIB disclosure requests. Only authorised staff such as control room operators, security personnel, senior management, and designated safety officers can access footage with all access logged for accountability.

Can transport control rooms monitor cameras across multiple sites?

Yes, that's a core capability. Our CCTV systems enable centralised monitoring from transport control rooms with video wall displays showing multiple camera feeds simultaneously, operator workstations with access to all networked cameras, map-based camera selection for intuitive navigation, and integration with transport management systems. Control room staff can monitor stations, depots, level crossings, and vehicles in real-time from a single location, coordinate incident responses, and manage security across your entire transport network efficiently.

How do you protect CCTV cameras from vandalism and weather damage?

Transport environments require robust camera protection. We install vandal-resistant cameras with IK10-rated housings protecting against physical attack, weatherproof IP67 or IP68-rated enclosures protecting against rain and extreme temperatures, anti-tamper features alerting if cameras are moved or covered, protective mounting at height or in secure enclosures, and ruggedised cabling with vandal-resistant cable management. Our camera selections are specifically chosen for harsh transport environments ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Can CCTV systems integrate with number plate recognition for car parks?

Yes, we deploy ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera systems for transport car parks and park-and-ride facilities. ANPR cameras capture vehicle registration plates enabling automatic barrier control, parking fee collection, season ticket validation, identification of unauthorised vehicles, and vehicle tracking through transport facilities. Integration with parking management systems automates operations whilst enhancing security. ANPR data is handled in accordance with GDPR and ICO guidance for surveillance technology.

How quickly can you install a CCTV system across our transport network?

Installation timelines depend on transport network size and complexity. Small bus depots or single stations with 10-20 cameras can typically be completed within 2-4 weeks including site survey, system design, and installation. Larger transport networks spanning multiple stations, depots, and vehicles may require 8-16 weeks for comprehensive deployment. We provide detailed project timelines with realistic schedules, coordinate installations to minimise disruption to passenger services, work overnight or during engineering hours as needed, and deploy in phases ensuring smooth rollout without impacting transport operations.
