LTA to upgrade its surveillance cameras at traffic junctions
19 Jun 2015|3,897 views
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has called a tender on Tuesday to upgrade the 319 cameras under its Junction Electronic Eyes System (J-Eyes), as well as to install cameras at 100 new locations, reported The Straits Times.
They include the junctions of Cecil Street and Cross Street, Upper Cross Sqtreet and South Bridge Road; and Hill Street and Coleman Street. This will bring the total number of locations where J-eyes are used to 388.
Most of the current cameras, which were installed as early as in 1999 when the J-Eyes system was first implemented, are reaching the end of their lifespans, said the LTA. "Under this new contract, all existing cameras will be upgraded to newer HD (high-definition) digital cameras, which will give sharper images and more zooming power," said its spokesman.
This could allow officers viewing such footage to, for example, better identify the type of debris in the event of a vehicle spill. Currently, cameras can pan 360 degrees horizontally, tilt up and down, and have zoom capabilities of about 22 times. The real time footage is fed to the LTA's Intelligent Transport Systems Centre in River Valley Road where LTA employees are on duty round the clock.
The project to upgrade and install new cameras is expected to be completed within the next few years after it has been awarded.
