Case Study: Edmonton Transit Service improves transit station security with EIZO and Genetec

Edmonton Transit Service secures 18 LRT stations and 100,000 daily boardings with EIZO

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) faced challenges in upgrading its security system from analog to IP cameras at its older light-rail stations, where running new cabling was problematic. They sought to improve patron safety and situational awareness in areas like underground stairwells. EIZO provided its DuraVision FDF2304W-IP monitors to address these issues.

The EIZO solution integrated seamlessly with the Genetec Security Center VMS via a dedicated plugin, eliminating the need for additional computers and complex cabling. This provided remote manageability, reduced backend infrastructure, and improved cybersecurity. The results included more efficient maintenance for ETS staff and enhanced security for patrons, who could now view camera feeds before entering secluded areas. EIZO's technology facilitated a smooth transition to an IP-based system.
