Etralux and Electronica Trafic, awarded the videosurveillance and voice communication system for Jardín del Turia

The City Council of Valencia, through the Department of Citizen Security, has awarded the videosurveillance and communication system of the Turia Riverbed to the joint venture formed by Electronica Trafic and Etralux, consisting of fifteen cameras (fixed and domes), four license plate recognition systems, and four SOS intercom posts.

The award of the project, to 533.200 euros, the joint venture formed by two companies Etra Group (Electronica Trafic and Etralux), the only ones that submitted bids in the City Council of Valencia to deploy the videosurveillance and voice communication system in the Turia River Garden, se compone de siete cámaras fijas y ocho domos en alta definición, software de reconocimiento de matrículas y cuatro postes de intercomunicación para emergencias.

Estos sistemas de videovigilancia se desplegarán a lo largo de los 10,4 Km. que abarcan los nueve tramos en los que se divide el cauce del Turia, desde el Parque de Cabecera hasta la Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, en el que se ubican jardines, instalaciones deportivas y de acceso a servicios públicos.

The project, iniciado en el año 2009 por la Concejalía de Seguridad Ciudadana del Ayuntamiento de Valencia, ha sufrido continuos retrasos en su adjudicación y en modificaciones sobre su instalación, ya que se trata de una zona con elementos patrimoniales, large concentration of people and protected wooded areas, which has now been approved in order to also reduce vandalism and crime.

The works for the installation of the video surveillance system will begin shortly with the opening of trenches for the deployment of 10.000 meters of fiber optic cable to which the networked video surveillance cameras will be connected, which will be placed on existing poles and streetlights; with license plate recognition software at the access points to the channel and the intercom posts.

The new system will be managed and monitored from the control center located at the headquarters of the Valencia Local Police, specifically in the data processing center (data center), and the recorded images will be stored for a month.
