Kings Cross Station
IPS installed the first ever fully compliant encrypted MPEG4 Streaming Video, Analytical CCTV & Network Systems at Kings Cross Station in London as part of the station expansion and refurbishment project.
Some of the unique features of this project include: a space reduction of 80% over standard analogue systems and the ability for the cameras feed cables reach to be extended to over 700m (via a CCTP from Anixter) on CAT5e cable providing both power and video path with no remote power supplies or Video Amplifiers.
This fully compliant OSA (Open Systems Architecture) system currently supports up to 700 Cameras and can be scaled up or down as required with no design changes. The playback suite operates on the same platform as the viewing workstations with interactive touch screens, and/or keyboard and mouse and includes advanced analytical tools for both live and archive viewing.
The system features a new storage paradigm, which involves a SAN (Storage Area Network) with 30 Terabytes of RAID storage.
