Smart Subway Security: A Million Passengers, One Platform

Why Metro Stations Are Hard Mode

Dense crowds, tight spaces
Old lines, new lines, no bridge
One station's incident, one line's crisis
Open doors, open risks
Lost people, slow searches

Six Jobs This System Does

Entrances that see twice
Halls held in one frame
Platforms watched to 150 m
Crowds counted before they crush
A face found in minutes
Alarms that reach the OCC

The Numbers That Matter

Key capabilities from the official solution:
Platform detail capture at up to 150 m with auto-cruise patrol
Photo-based person search: upload one face, get their station trail
180° panoramic hall coverage — fewer cameras, no blind seams
PB-scale IPSAN storage for line-level retention
Alarm sources beyond video: device faults, video loss, storage failure, audio anomaly
