New Tech  set for surveillance at Railway stations with the help of Smart Phone- Goverment Railway Police

Ahmedabad (ADI): Imagine a situation where a government railway police officer with the help of a smart phone can monitor movements at the various platforms of Kalupur railway station. Well this is not science fiction, but actually happening at Kalupur station which is now armed with IP-based CCTV cameras which have become operational.

Now, an officer on duty need not visit the control room for monitoring, they can excess the closed circuit television camera on their mobile phones or even laptops.

The officials said that apart from monitoring suspicious activities, they also monitor the passenger movement and keep an eye on the general coaches of the important trains.

CCTV cameras are very helpful in arresting illegal seat encroachment by the coolies.

Cops and officials are able to see live footage from CCTV cameras installed at various platforms.

“To ensure safety of people, we have decided to personally monitor live footage from closed circuit television cameras installed at various platforms,” said a senior officer from the railways. The railway officials said apart from the railways officials and even the officials of the signals are accessing the CCTV footages.
