School Bus Video Surveillance Camera systems have been in use nationwide for decades, providing a level of oversight and liability protection for those students, as well as the driver and school district or private charter student transport contractor who picks up and drops off the students daily.


For instance, this technology, used in various passenger high-risk fleet transport applications, has proven over the past three decades to be a valuable risk management tool for those who install and maintain it, especially when incidents on the bus require oversight and review.
Churches and religious organizations also utilize these systems to protect their passengers, drivers, and ministry activities. They install Transportation Ministry Youth Activities Church Bus Camera Systems on their buses and shuttles to help ensure safety.
These systems offer an additional level of video evidence documentation to support cases of issues or claims concerning passenger treatment on those vehicles.

Another example is that Medicaid or NEMT Medical Transport In-Vehicle Surveillance Camera systems are installed in many NEMT applications to provide management oversight and a continuous, sequential digital eye-witness with an impartial, objective record of events via court-admissible video evidence.


This technology is also available for casinos with vehicle fleets that provide free transportation for their visitors, picking them up and returning them to the casino. Many casinos offer complimentary drinks, which creates a vested interest in preventing intoxicated driving. The Casino Customer Shuttle Bus Video Surveillance and Safety Cameras help ensure passengers are safely picked up and dropped off, fulfilling their safety obligations and reducing alcohol-related risks associated with allowing guests to drive home unassisted.



Why Not To Buy a School Bus Camera System

As a distributor of school bus cameras to end users as well as many dealers and resellers, I can assure you there are legitimate reasons not to buy a school bus video surveillance system. It is not often that a product seller offers potential buyers reasons not to purchase it. Having said that, and understanding that this information can cost potential sales for our company, I believe principles trump profits, as my integrity has no price. Meaning the profits we may lose in stating these reasons why you may not want to purchase a school bus camera system do not overshadow the “Golden Rule” of do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Top Reasons NOT to buy school bus cameras for your buses:

1 - Your local District Attorney will not prosecute criminals who commit violence, bullying, or drug use on the bus.
2 - Your local District Attorney will not prosecute criminals who violate Stop Arm Laws
3 - Your district has protected groups who will not be prosecuted, no matter what criminal acts of violence they do
4 - Your district will not maintain the school bus cameras after installation
5 - Your district will not review the files to prove or disprove claims made by others

The five issues listed above cause many school districts or private charter student transportation services to consider investing in school bus camera systems as a waste of time, essentially a gross misuse of taxpayer funds. It turns what should be a safety feature into little more than worthless virtue signaling to the district that they care about children’s safety.

There is nothing more frustrating to me personally than to provide a professionally installed high-definition School Bus Camera systems to a school district showing students lighting a school bus on fire and walking past the cameras I installed at their request, flashing gang signs at the camera, laughing, and grabbing their crotches, only to be told, “They are a protected class, we can’t tell their parents or prosecute them.”

Honesty, if your district does not support the use of school bus cameras, will not review events and crimes with them, and will not forward them to your DA for prosecution, you are simply wasting your limited tax funding and time. If that is the situation you must operate under, it would be better to allocate the funding to another area of the district, such as increasing the pay of staff and teachers, since they are the ones shaping the minds that will be the future of this country.
