Case Study: London Underground secures critical depots with MOBOTIX thermal and hemispheric cameras

Protecting Critical Infrastructure For London Underground

London Underground required a secure solution for its critical infrastructure depots, which are located trackside and need 24/7 access for engineering teams. The challenge was to prevent the theft of specialized equipment with long lead times, all while avoiding cumbersome security systems and the need for perimeter lighting. Vendor Mobotix provided a solution using their thermal and hemispheric cameras.

Mobotix implemented a system using just six of its S15 and M15 thermal cameras featuring built-in MxAnalytics. This decentralized approach provided intelligent analytics to detect intruders day and night without external lighting, integrated with access control and remote monitoring. The results were highly effective, securing the depot and allowing for constant access, which has led London Underground to consider adopting this Mobotix solution at other sites.
