Enhancing Onboard Safety and Visibility with Intelligent Video NVR and Edge Analytics
As public transportation systems become increasingly connected and data-driven, onboard video surveillance is evolving beyond basic video recording. Bus and rail operators are adopting multi-camera systems to preserve video evidence, improve passenger and driver safety, and support faster operational response. However, processing and managing multiple high-resolution video streams in a moving vehicle requires rugged computing performance, reliable network connectivity, scalable storage, and intelligent power management.
Key Challenges in Onboard Video Surveillance
- Complex multi-camera integration: Buses and railcars may require cameras placed in various areas, creating greater demands on network connectivity and video processing.
- High bandwidth and storage requirements: Continuously transmitting multiple high-resolution video streams to a central control center can consume significant wireless bandwidth and backend storage capacity.
- Limited real-time response: Systems that rely mainly on centralized processing may fail to identify safety-related events quickly enough to support immediate onboard alerts or intervention.
- Harsh operating conditions: Onboard systems must withstand constant vibration, shock, temperature fluctuations, and unstable vehicle power.
- Space and installation constraints: Onboard equipment must fit within limited vehicle spaces while supporting secure camera, network, storage, and peripheral connections.
UST520: High-Performance Onboard NVR Platform for Intelligent Bus Surveillance
High-Channel Video Processing and Camera Integration
Powered by 14th/13th/12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with DDR5 memory, the UST520 supports up to 8/16 2.5GbE PoE ports through M12 or RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to multiple high-resolution IP cameras. Software-defined PoE management enables individual port monitoring and power control for easier remote maintenance.
Event-Driven Recording with Reliable Storage
A built-in accelerometer enables motion-triggered and impact-aware recording during sudden braking, severe vehicle movement, or collisions. The platform also supports 2/4 swappable SATA drives with RAID protection for high-capacity video storage and reliable incident footage retention.
Road-Certified Reliability and Smart Power Management
E-Mark and R118 certifications, fanless operation from -40°C to +70°C, and resistance to up to 3 Grms vibration support dependable road-vehicle deployment. A configurable 9 to 60 VDC input with Smart Ignition and low-voltage shutdown helps protect vehicle batteries and recorded data.
tBOX210: Rail-Grade NVR Platform for Onboard Surveillance and Data Collection
High-Performance Video Processing and Secure Camera Connectivity
Powered by 14th/13th/12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with up to 32GB DDR5 memory, the tBOX210 supports multi-channel video recording and preliminary edge analytics. Four M12 X-coded 2.5GbE LAN ports provide secure, high-bandwidth camera connections under continuous vibration.
Scalable Video Storage and Wireless Data Transmission
The tBOX210 supports 2 or 4 swappable 2.5-inch SATA drives with RAID options for continuous recording and protection of critical footage. M.2 and PCIe Mini Card expansion supports 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS for transmitting selected video, alerts, location data, and diagnostics.
Certified Reliability for Rolling Stock Deployment
EN 50155, EN 45545-2, and NFPA 130 certifications simplify railway integration. Fanless -40°C to +70°C operation, EN 61373-compliant shock and vibration resistance, a 24–110 VDC input, and built-in power protection support reliable rolling-stock deployment.
GOT712A: Railway Touchscreen HMI for Onboard Video and Status Monitoring
Sunlight-Readable Visualization and Intuitive Operation
A 12.1-inch XGA display with 600-nit brightness, projected capacitive touch, and automatic dimming provides clear access to video feeds, event alerts, and system information under changing ambient light. An optional keypad supports alternative operating and maintenance needs.
Flexible Integration with Surveillance and Train Systems
Its dual M12 GbE LAN ports receive video feeds and alerts from the tBOX210, while CAN bus, serial, and isolated DIO interfaces connect train subsystems, alarms, and external devices. An optional MVB interface supports integration with legacy railway systems.
Railway-Certified Reliability for Operator Interfaces
EN 50155 and EN 45545-2 certifications, fanless -40°C to +70°C operation, a 24–110 VDC input, an IP65-rated aluminum front bezel, and M12 lockable connectors help maintain dependable display and touchscreen operation in demanding rail environments.
