Light Rail Manila Corp., a joint venture between Ayala Corp. and Metro Pacific Investments Corp., said it tapped Commsec Inc. for the P100-million upgrade of the CCTV system across the Light Rail Transit–Line 1 system. 

“Commsec will install almost 500 high resolution surveillance cameras with increased storage capacity to ensure the safety and security of passengers and employees in and around LRT-1’s passenger stations, depot and other facilities,” LRMC president and chief executive Juan Alfonso said. 

Alfonso added train drivers would benefit from a monitor plugged into multiple cameras pointed at each train door to ensure that doors safely close before the train leaves a station.

The CCTV system will also feature enhanced software that could count the number of passengers waiting for a train, check the entry of trespassers to unauthorized areas of the system, and help alert LRMC to suspicious objects lying unattended in a station.

“With the upgrade, which is estimated to take two years to complete, crowd monitoring will be more effective,” Alfonso said.
