The bus servers store video for 30 days, and any time an equipped bus pulls into a district schoolyard, the server will connect back to the corporate server and offload the video.
The video is stored in the district’s data center and accessed on an as-needed basis. When an incident occurs, the Transportation Department can share recorded video with school administration or local authorities.
Total Visibility
The internal 360-degree cameras cover all activity within a bus, often providing data from a minimum of two different angles. The system captures the four video streams coming from each camera (up to 16 video feeds from a four-camera equipped bus), and picks up external images through the windows as well.
While some windows are digitally masked in the software to avoid
excessive recording on motion, the district has an option for mount- ing cameras on the exterior of a bus. They can expand to external camera systems by equipping buses with Axis P3905-RE high-perfor- mance outdoor cameras, helping to assure that what’s happening out- side and around a bus is captured.
“I’m excited about the solution. After extensively studying all of the software and hardware manufacturers in the video security industry, the Milestone, Sintron, and Axis combination ticks all of the boxes. Also, we are not locked into proprietary systems as the industry evolves,” said Glanville. “Lastly, Stone Security has proven to be a rock-solid partner in all of this and I highly recommend them.”
Barbara Rizzatti is the Communications Manager, Americas at Milestone.
