Axis Communications network cameras will be installed in 2500 of Stockholm Transport's (SL's) buses. Axis' partner, Visual Defence (VDI), has been awarded the contract for an integrated mobile solution for SL's fleet of buses. The installation is planned to take place in the beginning of next year.
 
"During the last year Axis has seen an increased interest in network video installations in the transportation sector. We are pleased to see an additional installation for Stockholm Transport: earlier this year we announced an installation in the subway system and at commuter train stations in Stockholm," says Roy Alves, country manager for Axis Communications Africa region.
 
The Axis network cameras are designed to provide high image quality and Power over Ethernet, which result in a cost-efficient installation, Axis says. Up to 10 000 cameras will be involved: 100 buses will be equipped in Phase I and a further 2400 in Phase II in 2007.
