371 Citilog has announced the installation of a MediaTunnel system for the Rebouças tunnel in Brazil in partnership with its local value added reseller 1805 Engebras. Located above the Corcovado, this tunnel is one of the biggest in Rio de Janeiro, has 50 IP cameras connected using RTSP protocol with high quality streams. This system features Citilog’s latest developments including redundant server and hot spare analyser for maximum reliability. In case of any component failure, hot redundancy enables operation to continue while maintenance replaces hardware. Citilog says the hot-spare solution is very cost-effective because it allows a full redundancy without doubling the amount of equipment.

The system detects critical incidents such as stopped vehicles, pedestrians and wrong way drivers, and will help CET-Rio de Janeiro Companhia de Engenharia e Tráfego (Traffic Engineering Department) security team to visualize and quickly solve traffic issues.
