UK CCTV solutions manufacturer AMG is to establish a pilot smart city centre surveillance solution in Beirut city centre, Lebanon, working with systems integrator Site Technology. The ongoing project originally began with the installation of 13 ANPR cameras being transmitted over a hybrid analogue and ethernet fibre optic backbone and covering a small area in the very centre of Beirut.

The project uses the AMG 9000 Ethernet and AMG4700 hybrid analogue and ethernet series. This solution provides transmission over fibre with multiple channels and associated ethernet with low speed data and audio signals.

According to Site Technology, the project has been a resounding success and it is optimistic about the second phase of the project, which is currently awaiting final budget approval.

Marwan Abdallah, general manager at Site Technology, says, “The AMG transmission equipment was very easy to install and use. We are currently optimistically awaiting budget allowances from the city authorities and we are hoping to expand the project to include around 300 ANPR cameras throughout the entire city centre.”
