Morocco’s railway operator is commissioning a security master plan that envisages around 6,000 cameras by 2030, with automated analysis supporting part of the network.
ONCF has launched a tender for advisory services to design a national video-surveillance and central monitoring strategy, according to Médias24.
The four-month study is estimated at MAD 1.08 million. Its planning assumptions include approximately 6,000 cameras by 2030, with around 30% using artificial intelligence for automated video analysis.
Proposed applications include identifying intrusions onto railway property, monitoring passenger congestion and flagging unattended objects. The strategy would cover stations, maintenance facilities and trains, with alerts coordinated through ONCF’s national security centre and regional teams.
The work accompanies the operator’s CAP 2030 programme, including expanded high-speed and commuter services.
The current procurement concerns planning and technical advice. It does not purchase the camera network itself, a distinction also highlighted by Le Brief. The MAD 1.08 million estimate should therefore not be read as the cost of deploying 6,000 cameras.
A published procurement listing identifies the consultation as tender 26E008, with bids due on October 7, 2026, at 9 a.m.
The reported camera total is a target for the future system, rather than confirmation that those units have been installed or ordered.
