Moxa is extending the advantages of IP video surveillance to challenging transit applications with the debut of its new VPort 07-3, an EN 50155 compliant onboard dome camera. Hardened against service interruptions caused by heavy vibration, impact or water ingress, the new camera is a surveillance solution for light rail, buses, and passenger rail fleets.

Built around a 3MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor, it captures sharp 2048 x 1536 pixel images at up to 20 frames-per-second, leveraging bandwidth efficient H.265/H.264 and MJPEG compression to support multiple independent streams, while benefitting from Moxa’s DynaStream and CBR Pro network technologies.

As trains enter and exit passenger stations, underpasses, and tunnels, lighting can abruptly fluctuate from dark to light. Adding to these challenges, most rolling stock is in continuous operation both day and night. Regardless of lighting conditions, the VPort 07-3 assures forensic-quality imaging by adopting a powerful combination of Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR), Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), and an advanced Auto White Balance (AWB) algorithm that resolves lighting challenges and reduces motion blur.

Thanks to its 100dB WDR, the VPort 07-3 easily manages scenarios where there are significant variations in light intensity within the same frame, ensuring the smallest of details are visible in both bright and dark areas.

VPort 07-3 cameras are compliant with mandatory sections of the EN 50155 Railway Certification and the EN 62262 IK8 vandal-resistant rating.
