Network Rail Approval Marks Major Milestone for the 900 Incident Watch Camera
The approved device will be deployed on Network Rail infrastructure to support a watchperson in remotely monitoring critical assets. By providing real-time visibility of trackside incidents and infrastructure condition, the camera enhances safety, reduces the need for repeated line block access, and accelerates decision-making in fast-changing operational environments.
Successful trials were conducted by the Technical Authority S&C Engineering Team at three high-criticality locations to monitor for cracked crossings. The system is fully aligned with NR/L2/TRK/1054 Section 11.2.2 – Remote Watchperson, making it suitable for any scenario where a physical watchperson would traditionally be required.
