The Provision of replacement CCTV assets for South Western Railway

Tender description

South Western Railway have a business plan commitment to undertake a renewal of its video surveillance system (VSS) over a period of three years. The VSS is installed at all stations where SWR are the station facility owner. In addition to this the SWR has several different stand-alone systems deployed at SWR fleet depot locations and the Isle of Wight. Excluding fleet depot locations, the current SWR video surveillance system comprises of four distinct systems: ▪ A centralised analogue system with images recorded at Feltham and Wimbledon connected over an analogue fibre network in the London area ▪ A distributed network unsupported analogue Digital Video Recorders and analogue cameras connected by a mix of ADSL and SDSL MPLS VPN circuits. ▪ A distributed network supported digital Network Video Recorders, encoders/decoders and IP cameras connected over a mix of point-to-point ethernet fibre circuits and DSL MPLS circuits. ▪ Stand-alone systems at all Island Line stations and small number of stations on the mainland. The age of the equipment varies across the estate with some assets being installed some 20 years ago and others being relatively new with a remaining asset life of around 5-10 years. Most systems are principally analogue and use traditional RG59 video cabling with a combination of local and distributed power supplies. Some newer installations have taken place, notably at within cycle hubs, decked car parks and newer gateline Where systems have been expanded since 2016 all new assets have been digital with some analogue encoded to digital. The newer installations are connected to a supported centrally managed video management system whereas the older installations use stand-alone unsupported software on PCs. The current Video Surveillance System has wide scale obsolescence (>95%) is life expired and contains systems weaknesses, which does not meet modern standards and requirements.
