The Industry's Most Complete Portfolio of Onboard CCTV
Solutions
Modern onboard CCTV video surveillance systems rely mainly on
IP-based
technologies to provide direct access to the information necessary for supervising and
adjusting rail operations during transit. These systems support live viewing and data recording both on
the train itself and remotely at Operations Control Centers (OCCs). To make this possible, robust
network infrastructure for onboard and trainto-ground communications is essential. To help system
integrators build these systems in less time and reduce operational maintenance efforts, Moxa offers the
industry’s most complete portfolio of onboard CCTV systems. Our selection covers all elements ranging
from diverse IP cameras and versatile computers, to highspeed
wired and wireless networking
solutions. With Moxa, customers can enjoy the benefits of having a single source vendor, meaning fewer
product compliance issues and access to immediate technical support if anything goes wrong.

Resilient Equipment
Design
As onboard train systems operate in tough conditions over long stretches of time,
they must be sufficiently resilient and rugged to endure high humidity, fluctuating temperatures, constant
vibration, while also being able to fit in confined spaces with wiring restrictions. That’s why all Moxa
onboard products are specifically designed to strictly adhere to the rigorous EN 50155 standard, ensuring
stable operation in harsh environments and on trains moving at high speed.

Find the Exact Fit for
Your Application
Whatever you are looking for, you will find a Moxa IP camera that suits your needs. Front and rear-facing
cameras provide the driver with real-time vision of the track and trackside, consist cameras monitor the
passenger carriage interior, and driver cab cameras capture the driver’s actions instantly. Hidden type HD
cameras are ideal for keeping an eye on train entrances. Moxa also offers customized hardware and form factors
to meet special installation requirements.
Instant Adjustment to
Variable Lighting Conditions
The train’s onboard lighting fluctuates dramatically during its journey, especially when speeding into and
out of tunnels. Instantaneous adjustment to rapid lighting changes is crucial to providing consistent, clear
image quality. Moxa’s IP cameras capture crisp, full-motion video in HD and 1080P, and support advanced
imaging technologies such as WDR, DNR, and BLC for optimal image quality in any environment. Our large
selection of lens types for different viewing angles and ranges ensures the right field of view in any
situation.
Advanced Imaging Technologies
Optimize Network and CCTV
Performance
Effective IP surveillance relies on video streaming, which significantly influences network and video
performance. Moxa’s IP cameras use custom IP video technologies, such as CBR Pro™ and DynaStream™ to optimize
bandwidth and storage use while maintaining consistent video performance.
2. Compliant With EN 50155 Anti-vibration Standards
Moxa designed its onboard computers specifically to transmit video streams and data from the NVRs to the OCC
via wireless networks for real-time monitoring. Our NVR computers enable uninterrupted concurrent video
recording from multiple streams. As installation space in the driver cab is very limited, our fanless, compact
panel computers can serve as a common display for both PIS and CCTV. Moxa’s Multi-WWAN computers support both
cellular and Wi-Fi connection options for streaming live CCTV data to the control center. All Moxa onboard
computers are fully compliant with the EN 50155 anti-shock and anti-vibration criteria to ensure reliable
operation when the train is on the move.
Solution Highlights
|
- NVR computers feature a hot-swappable HD module for easy maintenance and minimal system downtime
- Panel computers meet the 70°C heat tolerance demanded by EN 50155 OT4

3. Evolving Demands
for Ethernet Trains
As trains become more complex, the number of onboard systems and devices, such as CCTV, PIS, and other
passenger-oriented systems, increases. Efficient operation requires integrating all these intelligent onboard
devices onto a single Ethernet network. CCTV systems, specifically, process several high-definition video
streams and connect to multiple bandwidth-intensive end devices, such as NVRs and wireless access points. This
requires a robust network backbone that supports high data transfer rates. In addition, the demand for PoE
capability to supply onboard devices like IP cameras is surging. Moxa’s lineup of wired and wireless
networking solutions for high-speed onboard and train-to-ground communications is designed to meet these
growing trends.
Solution Highlights
|
- Merge multiple subsystems onto a single integrated network
- High bandwidth (FE/GE/10G/802.11n) for multiple concurrent video streams
- PoE capability to save on cabling efforts and costs
- Flexible and easy network reconfiguration for operational efficiency

Versatile Onboard
Ethernet Networks
While every onboard subsystem performs its own set of tasks, it needs to be interconnected with other
systems through the backbone network. A reliable Ethernet Train Backbone (ETB) network, which connects the
Ethernet Consist Networks (ECN), is critical for integrating onboard systems. Usually, the onboard CCTV
system is built on the ECN so that live video can be streamed to the driver cab and recorded via the IP
network. This data then transfers to the remote OCC via a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Moxa provides a
complete line of onboard switches perfect for creating a reliable, intelligent Ethernet train network.
Simplify Installation
and Maintenance With Flexible Networks
Moxa’s onboard switch solutions simplify network design, installation, and maintenance. Mid-journey,
train consists are frequently reconfigured. In a standard redundancy design, the ring coupling has to
be reconfigured every time a new consist is coupled to the train. Moxa’s Dynamic Ring Coupling™ (DRC)
technology enables inter-consist Ethernet redundancy without disrupting intra-consist networks during
reorientation. As a result, all the Ethernet-based services, such as CCTV, Wi-Fi access, and PIS,
continue to operate seamlessly even when coupling switches are rearranged mid-journey. For retrofitted
trains, Moxa’s Auto Carriage Connection (ACC) technology creates wireless inter-car links and reduces
cabling and wiring complexity on the train. Furthermore, Moxa’s switches support Auto Configuration,
which configures IP settings for all network devices automatically, saving significant effort,
especially for mass device deployments.
Flexible and
Intelligent Network Reconfigurations
DRC
An intelligent inter-consist Ethernet redundancy technology that uses
auto-configuration when consists are re-arranged.
ACC
Automatically create wireless links between train cars to adapt to
dynamic train re-composition during operation
Auto Configuration
Assign IP addresses to all network devices automatically to simplify
installation and maintenance.
Flexible
Train-to-ground Communications
Cellular and Wi-Fi networks are becoming the preferred train-to-ground (T2G) communication method.
Rail operators may consider adopting LTE and Wi-Fi hybrid solutions for handling T2G communication in
different scenarios. When on the move, the train uses cellular connections for seamlessly switching
between regional carrier services to ensure uninterrupted video streams. When the train enters the
station or returns to the depot, it offloads all recorded data over Wi-Fi, saving on carrier service
charges. Moxa provides Wi-Fi and cellular options to cover all scenarios.
