Editor's Notes: 
 
 
About Petards 
Petards has been providing on-board CCTV systems to the rail industry for a 
decade. Its latest generation of on-board CCTV system, eyeTrain , is rail-proven 
and fully digital, with superb image quality and terabyte storage capacity. It 
captures video from the seating and doorway areas of passenger vehicles to 
clearly identify any offenders. eyeTrain  also links to other train sub-systems 
that can include automatic passenger counting, alarms, entertainment, public 
address and information systems. Forward facing cameras can be added to capture 
the view from the driver's window - a vital piece of evidence for investigations 
into trackside incidents.
