New Biometric System for Bangalore Railway Staff in Order to Improve Security
South Western Railway staff in Bangalore will soon be switching from an ID card-based security system to a biometric system using thumb impressions. There are about 800 employees affected by the change. Closed-circuit television cameras are also being introduced at all concourses and entry points into the complex and uses a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)-based surveillance system with 48 channels of real-time video input. The complex also houses the central offices of railway operations which require high security measures.
