Editor's Notes:
About Petards
Petards has been providing on-board CCTV systems to the rail industry for a
decade. Its latest generation of on-board CCTV system, eyeTrain , is rail-proven
and fully digital, with superb image quality and terabyte storage capacity. It
captures video from the seating and doorway areas of passenger vehicles to
clearly identify any offenders. eyeTrain also links to other train sub-systems
that can include automatic passenger counting, alarms, entertainment, public
address and information systems. Forward facing cameras can be added to capture
the view from the driver's window - a vital piece of evidence for investigations
into trackside incidents.
