LILIN has been selected as the security camera provider of choice for the third rail line being built in Daegu, South Korea. This new bidirectional monorail, constructed by Hitachi, will be watched over for both security and safety, with the installation of 224 LILIN IPD6222ES4.3 vandal-proof IP mini dome cameras. The fleet includes 28 trains, and each will feature 8 of the EN50155-compliant domes. LILIN is elated to have the opportunity to enter into the rail vertical market by taking part in such a high-profile project in north Asia.

Construction of the Daegu monorail began in July 2009, and is expected to be completed by October 2014. When finished, the rail line will extend from Dongho-dong in northern Daegu, all the way to the southern suburb of Beommul-dong. The monorail construct was chosen for its shorter implementation time and lower cost, and will be the first urban transit monorail system in Korea.

JinHan Teo, of LILIN Pacific, has been heavily involved with this project. Pleased with the selection of LILIN as the train's surveillance system provider, he remarked, “This, to me, is a significant achievement, as it is a great reference for us in the railway market — a high-potential market for cameras.”

LILIN is expecting itself and its partners to grow in the railway sector, with the Daegu monorail project being a prime, real-life example of LILIN's capability and quality assurance in a mobile, transit setting.
