...Transit managers last week sent a memo to subway crews alerting them of new video cameras installed on a four-car G line train. The new tech is part of a years-long effort by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to improve security and put more eyes underground.

The test program installed four cameras in each of the cars, as well a system that operated the train’s digital signage and intercoms, the memo states.

The cameras began monitoring passengers on the G line train last Thursday — and MTA officials planned to keep them there for a year to see how they worked.

But the vendor contracted to provide the system’s technology — Suzhou Huaqi Intelligent Technology — raised major security flags that prompted officials to suddenly pull the camera-filled train from service on Thursday...

 

...The agreement to test the technology for a year came at no cost to the agency and did not require approval from its board, officials said.

MTA spokesman Ken Lovett said transit honchos were not aware of the test cameras until The News began asking questions about Bii Railway on Wednesday...

 

...A federal government source could not immediately tell The News whether Suzhou Huaqi or Bii Railway were subject to active inquiries by national security authorities.

But the source noted “the MTA’s plans to potentially move forward with this pilot initiative stand a very good chance of sounding alarm bells with the National Security Agency....”
