School bus video camera surveillance systems that store the video files on the bus require a memory storage medium in order to copy the files. The most commonly used SD memory cards, or Hard Drives, and the more expensive professional-based solutions usually incorporate 100% Solid State Drives or SSDs.
There are Pros and Cons for each of these solutions.
School bus drivers are essential in the pupil transportation operation of a school district. Without those willing to take on the unbelievable risk of transporting other people’s children to and from school, we would have long ago closed public schools due to their high cost and low education ranking of children as compared to other countries in the world, instead switching to online education via home school for children in their homes.
It is essential that drivers be protected from unnecessary risks associated with transporting children, and this is where School Bus Camera Recorders can help.
Children have been monitored for decades, and their behaviors are recorded on school bus security observation cameras installed on school buses.
For decades, children and school bus drivers have been tampering with these systems in the hopes of getting away with something they do not want recorded.
Why do school district transportation managers and Safety directors purchase School Bus Surveillance Camera systems of their fleet of school buses?
There are several reasons that will be discussed as to why cameras for school buses has become one o fthe most common accessories to the school bus fleet.
School Bus Camera Recording systems from most suppliers require periodic upgrading, and most manufacturers require complete replacement of the entire bus camera system even though most of the components are fully functional.
Most manufacturers are short-sighted and greedy, driven by profits, and not really concerned about customer budgets or the immense time and effort required to remove fully functional cameras and cables whenever the DVRs reach the end of their service life.
When your school bus camera supplier has a business model of planned obsolescence, they want you to have to replace every component every time there is technological advancement.
We are often asked how long a school bus video camera system lasts?
The answers often depend on the systems you purchase and the features that the system may come with.
School bus drivers have one of the most high-risk and low-pay jobs due to the extremely high value of the cargo they transport, our children.
Few other passenger transportation applications have to deal with immature little children, bullying, gang-related issues, underage sex issues, and vandalism all at the same time. My personal experiences in testing our systems on buses transporting children were other than at an airport or shooting range; you are hard-pressed to find a higher level of noise and ear-harming, mind-numbing decibels than on a school bus.
Public school bus drivers, charter bus drivers, and contractor Pupil Transportation School Bus drivers are often accused of doing things they should not do, such as texting while driving a school bus. When these claims or accusations include breaking state or federal laws, state laws as well as local district guidelines, there needs to be a mechanism to verify or dispute those claims.
Pupil transportation be it a contract carrier or public or private school bus transporting students to and from school, have a new underage child vaping issue to deal with.
While children vaping on school buses may not be as severe as gang-related assaults or school bus bullying of students, this is a concern as underage vaping is a crime. The laws are clear on who can vape and there are age restrictions generally excluding everyone still riding a school bus to and from school.
