Minuteman offers the most comprehensive and advanced security solutions available for both public and private transit systems and stations, safeguarding not only passengers and drivers but also your organization’s reputation. Our systems also allow for defensive protection against illegitimate or unreasonable liability claims.
Customer Spotlight
Since 2013, Minuteman has supported Boston’s extensive MBTA system for security at 145 stations, and hundreds of buses and trains.
We provide 24×7 support, installation and service of surveillance cameras, card access control, emergency communications systems and mobile video surveillance technologies.
To date, Minuteman has installed well over 3000 IP video cameras and hundreds of card access control points throughout the MBTA’s metropolitan Boston footprint. Our deployments include the design and installation of one of the most advanced mobile IP video systems in the world, covering hundreds of mass transit vehicles.
State of the art security is more important than ever in today’s atmosphere of heightened terrorism risk, where unprotected public or private mass transportation are particularly vulnerable.
Real-time high-resolution video monitoring of a vehicle’s interior via highspeed cellular transmission is available not only to remote control centers, but to any approaching law enforcement vehicle at the touch of a button.
Our scalable solutions will help protect your assets from accidents and vandalism and deter passenger on passenger crimes including theft or assault. Vehicle drivers and operators will have additional peace of mind and any negligent behavior will be easily discoverable and therefore discouraged. Ridership and sales will be boosted with passenger security.

- Platform and station video surveillance
- Mobile LTE video surveillance systems
