CCTV and control room technology specialists, Graphic Image Technology (GIT), is supplying and installing mobile surveillance solutions for a fleet of African cash-in-transit vehicles.

GIT did not disclose the African security firm it has supplied with the mobile surveillance solutions.

However, a statement reveals that the company plans using the SerVision Mobile Video Gateway (MVG) 400, which provides CCTV monitoring on the vehicles, as well as GPS support for tracking purposes and bi-directional audio for communication with dispatchers and other personnel.

The SerVision MVG 400 unit is connected to a total of four cameras within each vehicle, the statement notes.

Laurence Smith an executive at GIT said, “The MVG 400 is ideal for the application required by the customer, supporting either four or eight cameras and incorporating an anti-shock, vibration resistant chassis that ensures reliability on the go.

“It also uses SerVision's advanced video compression, which provides high-quality video at low bitrates. With integrated support for cellular and Wi-Fi transmission, the MVG streams multiple channels of live or recorded video from vehicles to remote client devices.”

According to Smith the surveillance solution allows the customer to get live visual confirmation of exactly what is happening on the vehicles.

“With the SerVision MVG 400 units and cameras installed in their trucks, the client can improve operations to maximise safety and efficiency and react appropriately to situations, among other advantages. We have received positive feedback so far regarding the solution, particularly with regard to its low data usage and the intuitive nature of the software,” Smith concluded.
