Development for Rail CCTV
Graham Wilde, CEO, BWCS
Around the world a vast and growing army of
CCTV cameras stand guard over trains,
platforms and passengers. Increasingly, these
silent witnesses can not only record events,
but can track suspects, capture evidence, help
avoid crimes or over-crowding and even save
lives. Ever-more sophisticated management
systems and reporting tools are helping train
operators and rail authorities put the CCTV
army to more productive uses. Find out where
this multi-million euro industry is heading at
Rail CCTV 2013.
Collaboration amongst the various parties
involved is vital to get the best out of new and
legacy CCTV systems in this dynamic industry.
Now in its third year, BWCS Rail CCTV
Conference will gather the great and the good
from across this sector to share problems and
solutions direct form the camera face.
‘This conference provides a rare and valuable
opportunity for the key players in this sector
to meet and debate the latest advancements’
Andy Odell, UK Association of Train Operating
Companies.
Rail CCTV 2013, hosted by transport and
communications consultancy group BWCS,
provides a rare opportunity for those involved
in this sector to get together and compare
problems, solutions, standards and progress
and above all to assess the future.
The Conference is the only event to focus
directly on the issues facing transport groups
and rail authorities as they struggle to make
trains and stations more secure and develop
new cost-saving systems to capitalise on the
emerging generation of IP cameras.
The key transport groups, rail administrators,
politicians and industry experts will gather
together from across Europe and the rest of
the world to discuss the developments in this
crucial sector.
As ever, Rail CCTV Conference 2013 will provide
some great networking opportunities and there
are some sponsorship opportunities still
available.

much knowledge in such a short time as in the

with exactly the right type of presentations
and gave us a great insight into the challenges
faced by train operating companies’
Pelco by Schneider Electric
‘I have attended a number of events organised
by BWCS. What impressed me was the
availability of a very highly skilled team of
industry experts with them. The team’s wide
range of experience and profound wireless
industry knowledge have been instrumental in
helping us in framing specifications for
providing Wireless broadband services on our
trains, an essential social ingredient of life in
India. The events organized by them have been
of high technical standard, focus is always on
services & products and not on companies,
allowing us to choose the best option.’
