To curb untoward incidents on trains and to monitor every railway station, the Mumbai division of Western Railways has installed 2,729 closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, having 4K resolution, across all 30 stations on its Mumbai suburban network from Churchgate to Virar.
Of these high-resolution cameras, 450 are equipped with face-recognition technology which could help the authorities identify and trace culprits after a crime.
Earlier there were around 1,100 cameras installed on these stations which have now been replaced with the new ones.
The installation of these new cameras is a part of the implementation of the Integrated Surveillance System (ISS) on the Mumbai suburban network.
