below is a selection of projects that AMG has completed
Dublin City Council Project
The City Council monitors over 160 CCTV cameras from a 24 hour control centre situated close to the City centre. It has installed a high speed Ethernet ring on the motorway and approach roads but has chosen to use digital uncompressed video transmission networks for the CCTV and traffic signals in the city rather than use compressed video.

Museum of Islamic Art
The exceptional quality of the building design, the location and the position of the new Museum of Islamic Art in
Doha, Qatar makes it one of the most inspiring projects of its kind in the world. It is also viewed as a catalyst
for the development of Doha as a cultural and educational centre of excellence and demonstrates the vision and
commitment of the State of Qatar to the international cultural/museums sector. The Islamic Museum will display
the Qatar National Collection of Islamic Art - a world class collection of ceramics, metalwork, jewellery,
woodwork, glass and other items made in countries all over the Islamic World from medieval Spain to Central
Asia and India. Click here to read more.
M27 National Highways
The Highways Agency is replacing 33 independently
managed police control rooms with 7 linked, Regional Control Centres in a bid to
consolidate data for all 5,800 miles of strategic roads nationwide.AMG has supplied the
fibre optic transmission system for the Phase II trials of the CCTV system that is eventually
hoped will help to relieve congestion and manage incidents on the country’s motorways. Click here to read more.
Ireland has enjoyed an economic boom of unprecedented proportions for the last thirty years. The massive influx of external investment and commercial activities, much of it centred on the capital, Dublin, has put enormous strain on the road and traffic infrastructure. To cope with the rapid growth in the city's traffic, Dublin City Council has introduced a sophisticated surveillance network for its major roads and some of the surrounding residential area. With nine out of ten journeys concentrated into the morning and evening rush hours, the Council turned to AMG Systems to link CCTV, traffic signal controllers and other traffic management equipment to the control room to control the traffic flows and ensure that everyone is kept moving.

Athens
Upgrading a major city's surveillance network is always going to be a massive undertaking. But how does an established capital city upgrade its network and prepare itself for an influx of more than double its usual population, whilst ensuring security at a time of international alert and continues with 'business as usual' for its residents. This was the dilemma facing Athens in the run up to the 2004 Olympic Games. As part of is Olympic preparations, Athens upgraded the city's road surveillance network to ensure good traffic management during the Games and for the long term benefit of residents. To give the city the surveillance network it would need to keep the Games moving, they turned to AMG Systems. To read more, click here
Stockholm Tunnels Like many 21 st . Century cities, Stockholm has suffered in recent years from both increasing volumes of traffic and an increasing population that have put ever greater strains on its infrastructure. In the 1990's the various municipal bodies that govern the city agreed on a semi underground ring road for Stockholm, a massive engineering project that would involve tunnelling under the suburbs of the city to provide roads that would otherwise have to be built through housing, office and park land above ground. To help with the surveillance and safety system on the Södra Länken stretch of the project, leading Swedish CCTV company ISG approached UK firm AMG Systems. To read more, click here
London West End The Real London Eye - keeping the streets of London safe for its 10 million workers and residents is no mean feat. In the heart of the capital, in the bustling West End around Oxford Street and Regent Street , the sheer number of pedestrians and vehicles on the move can make effective surveillance a seemingly impossible task. AMG Systems was asked to design and install a fibre optic transmission backbone to support a CCTV surveillance network. This would not only give first class, resilient coverage of the shopping heartland of Oxford Street and Regent Street but also extend to cover tourist hotspots of Trafalgar square and Hungerford Bridge . With such a prestigious and high profile area, reliability, resilience and sophistication were paramount with no room for failure. To read more, click here
New
frontiers in Hertfordshire
The number of city centre surveillance cameras has
increased enormously in the past few years as police
and local authorities have realised the benefit of
CCTV for maintaining law and order on busy streets.
Outside our cities, in towns and outlying communities,
how do the authorities cope when they need to monitor
a wide area? Hertfordshire County Council had already
installed a system linking town centre surveillance
of Hitchin, Letchworth and Stevenage. However, increasing
sprawl of the three towns necessitated an upgrade
and extension of their network. To answer their growing
needs, the Council approached AMG Systems and ntl

Channel
Tunnel Rail Link
The second phase of development of the Channel Tunnel
Rail Link (CTRL) will see the journey time from London
to Brussels and Paris reduced significantly. Following
heavy investment in a public private partnership,
the extension is due to open in early 2007. The project
to extend the link from Ashford International to St
Pancras has meant an extensive building, track modernisation
and track laying programme that has demanded the latest
in surveillance techniques to ensure the security
and reliability of the new track. With both money
and prestige at stake, AMG was awarded the contract
from communication system contractor, Optilan, for
the CCTV solution that would ensure the best possible
surveillance network suitable for this high profile,
critical project. To read more, click here
Birmingham
Digital Ring
The three major motorways encircling Birmingham are
a lynchpin of the UK’s road network. It is vital
to the UK's economy to keep these routes open and
flowing freely so, when the Highways Agency needed
a new surveillance system to help them monitor traffic
flow, they turned to AMG systems to construct the
Birmingham Digital Ring. To read more, click here.
Bexley Business Academy
The Government’s flagship academy in Thamesmead has been described as “leading edge and highly innovative”. This also applies to the security system on site, which incorporates a combination of CCTV, access control with smart card capabilities, external perimeter and intruder detection to capture and identify possible intruders at the schools perimeter. Pictures from 20 cameras and signals from passive infrared alarms, all mounted on 11 columns are transmitted on AMG equipment back to the onsite control room. Additionally, video and audio signals from all entrances, as well as signals from 18 cameras situated at the primary school building are transmitted back to the control room. Besides supplying the transmission equipment AMG Systems also undertook the complete design, termination and testing of the entire fibre infrastructure. To read more, click here
