Public transport
Every year there is considerable criminal activity on public transportation including buses, metros and trains. With a Milestone solution, public transport vehicles with onboard surveillance can always record video while on route. Technologies such as Edge Storage and Milestone Interconnect™ make it possible for video footage from onboard cameras to be automatically or manually retrieved later. The retrieved video can be combined with other video recordings from the transportation station to make it easy to investigate incidents and export evidence.
