School Bus CCTV Recording System

The exciting new Insight - School Bus CCTV system offers quality digital CCTV recording capability - at a massive saving over previously available systems.

The use of CCTV cameras in the school bus is not new, but it has never been easier, cheaper or more reliable than it has become with the new Insight - School Bus CCTV System.

Across the UK, the on-board use of CCTV cameras has had a dramatic and proven impact on improving pupil behaviour while travelling on the school bus. 

Many local authorities now require on-board CCTV recording as a condition of contract with bus operators. And whilst the cost of equipping a vehicle with CCTV normally has to be borne by the operator, when CCTV recording has been used in conjunction with other measures, such as seat allocation, etc. operators have found that senseless acts of vandalism have been all but eradicated with massive resultant savings. 

Incidents such as setting fire to or slashing seats, smashing windows, ruining carpets or decor, etc. have historically cost operators up to thousands of pounds per incident, with some incidents resulting in the total write off of a vehicle!

The Insight - School Bus CCTV system is based around the new ultra compact DVR (Digital Video Recorder), so space shouldn't be a problem. And as the unit will support and record images from up to 4 connected cameras, with enough internal storage for up to a weeks worth of continuous recording, there's no chance of missing that critical incident. If an incident does occur, it's easy to archive images for later use. Simply unlock and release the hot swap disk caddy from the recorder and plug it into your PC using the optional 

The ultra compact digital video recorder is ideal for installation in the school bus where 

but dramatically improving Safety and Security for drivers and their passengers is easy with the reliable 'Insight - CCTV for Taxis' - Taxi Camera and digital CCTV recording system. 

Frequently reported problems include:

• passengers skipping off without paying the fare

• verbal abuse of the driver

• violence or threatened violence

Survey findings - various localised surveys appear to highlight similar problems from across the country. All drivers are likely to suffer verbal abuse at some time, however Asian drivers in particular appear to be subjected to such abuse regularly. 

Many of the problems involve passengers who are drunk or have taken drugs, but whatever the reason, there is some alarm at the apparent continuing growth in actual or threatened violence.

It's hardly surprising then, that many taxi drivers now simply refuse to work in the evenings or at weekends, or on special days such as Christmas or New Years Eve, etc. when despite high demand for their services, trouble is all too common a risk.

... BUT HELP IS AT HAND

Taxi Camera type CCTV has already been piloted in many parts of the UK, with dramatic results:- 

• Mansfield (BBC News) - according to drivers, a trial installation in 16 cabs in the city has had an "almost miraculous" effect on drunk and violent passengers
  

• Leicester (BBC News) - A combination of Taxi Marshals patrolling the ranks, in coordination with CCTV recordings and the Police, has led to a reduction in late night anti social behaviour and violence
  

• Coventry (BBC News) - 50 cabs will have CCTV cameras installed during December 2006 and January 2007 as a pilot. It is expected that as elsewhere in the country, the project should prevent incidents from happening and provide powerful reassurance for both passengers and drivers
  

• Sheffield (BBC News) - A pilot scheme involving the installation of CCTV cameras into 33 cabs is planned for Xmas 2006 in a bid to reduce incidents of violence and bad behaviour
  

• Bournemouth / Dorset (BBC News) - around 70 drivers have so far installed CCTV systems across Dorset
  

• Crawley (BBC News) - talks are currently under way re. the introduction of a pilot CCTV for taxis system
  
  ...and as well as the few specific examples listed above, taxi drivers, fleet managers, police and local authorities across the country, are actively considering the benefits that 'In-Cab' CCTV could be bringing to their area
