Rail Fire & Security Systems
Protect passengers, staff, infrastructure and operations with fire and security systems designed for rail environments.
bespoke rail solutions
Complete fire and security support for rail facilities
Rail environments need fire and security systems that protect people, assets and infrastructure while supporting the safe movement of passengers, staff, vehicles and goods.
ClearView designs, installs, maintains and integrates fire and security systems for rail stations, depots, terminals, maintenance facilities, transport hubs and wider rail estates.
Our experience covers everything from CCTV, access control, intruder detection and gates and barriers through to fire detection, emergency lighting, extinguishers and ongoing system maintenance.
This gives rail operators a joined-up way to manage safety, security, compliance and operational resilience across complex, high-footfall environments.
EuroTunnel manages the Channel Tunnel link which is a large, demanding and diverse environment for surveillance and security. A complex site that required a significant level of security including CCTV, video analytics, perimeter control and high resolution image capture, storage and retrieval. ClearView integrated these systems together to provide a cohesive and secure security solution working in complete synergy.

Supporting passenger safety and operational performance
Rail sites are busy, open and often highly complex. Stations, platforms, depots, control rooms, maintenance areas, storage facilities, ticket barriers and public spaces all carry different risks.
ClearView helps rail operators improve visibility across these environments, protect restricted areas and support faster response when incidents occur.
Our systems can help with passenger safety, trespass detection, platform monitoring, vandalism prevention, theft reduction, emergency response and facilities management. They can also support operational performance by giving control teams better information across key areas of the site.
For rail operators, the value is not simply in having individual systems installed. It is in having the right systems working together to support safety, security and continuity.

CCTV, surveillance and video analytics
CCTV is one of the most important security systems in rail environments, providing visibility across areas that can be difficult to monitor manually.
ClearView can design CCTV systems for stations, platforms, entrances, exits, depots, yards, control points, ticketing areas, car parks, maintenance facilities and other critical locations.
In rail settings, CCTV can support more than incident recording. It can help operators monitor platform crowding, identify trespassing, review dangerous behaviour, support passenger security and provide evidence when incidents occur.
Where required, CCTV can also be integrated with video analytics, help points, public address, ticket barriers, access control and intruder detection systems. This helps teams respond more quickly and gives operators a clearer view of what is happening across the site.

Protecting restricted areas and critical infrastructure
Rail facilities often include areas that must be protected from unauthorised access, including control rooms, equipment rooms, maintenance areas, storage facilities, staff-only zones and operational infrastructure.
ClearView provides access control, intruder detection, perimeter protection, gates and barriers to help rail operators manage these spaces securely.
Access control can be used to manage the movement of staff, contractors, authorised vehicles and visitors. Depending on the site, this may include card readers, keypads, biometric readers, intercoms, ANPR and integrated management software.
Intruder detection systems provide early warning when sensitive or restricted areas are accessed without authorisation. When linked with CCTV or a control room, alerts can be verified quickly so teams know where the issue is and how to respond.

Perimeter security for rail sites
Perimeter protection is a key consideration for many rail environments, particularly depots, yards, terminals, maintenance facilities and infrastructure sites.
ClearView can provide perimeter fencing and perimeter intrusion detection systems designed to help prevent unauthorised access and improve control room visibility.
Perimeter intrusion detection can alert teams when a breach attempt is detected and can be integrated with CCTV so cameras automatically focus on the affected area. This helps operators respond faster and reduces the risk of incidents going unnoticed.
For larger or higher-risk sites, perimeter systems can also be integrated with access control, ANPR, gates, barriers and wider site security systems.

Fire detection, extinguishers and emergency lighting
Reliable fire detection is essential in rail settings, where early warning can protect passengers, staff and infrastructure while reducing the impact of disruption.
ClearView can design and install fire detection and alarm systems that are robust, reliable and suitable for the demands of rail facilities. Where required, these systems can be integrated with other safety and security systems to support a more coordinated response.
Fire extinguishers and suppression equipment also play an important role in protecting rail premises. ClearView can assess your facility, recommend suitable equipment and provide installation, testing and maintenance.
Emergency lighting is equally important, helping passengers, staff and workers navigate safely if normal lighting fails. ClearView can install, test and maintain emergency lighting systems to support safe evacuation and compliance.
Sylvain Pamart, Chief Project Manager at EuroTunnel has stated:
“ClearView has provided a system with a user interface which is very intuitive. This has meant the operators quickly and easily adopted the new system. The Control Centre software enabled us to meet many of the new regulations and a networked system allows additional cameras to be added at any point on the network.”
