It was written about 20 years ago that; a "warranty is a prepaid cost of a product."
What I meant the first time I wrote that, was that in the business models used for product pricing, the cost of the price is a reflection of the Warranty offered as the Warranty causes the price of a product to increase. At the time, a Special Needs Wheelchair Lift Bus Camera system purchaser was asking for an extended warranty that could last the life of the bus. There were no warranties I was aware of that lasted longer than three years at that time.
For example, almost all systems come with a 1-Year Manufacturers Warranty on all parts of the system.
The cost for this system is lower in comparison to the other systems offered because they do not incur the additional costs of the longer Warranty.
Some OEMs in the USA offer 3-Year Extended Warranties.
One OEM I am aware of offers a 5-Year Extended Warranty.
The cost for these systems is much higher in comparison to the other systems offered because they both incur the additional costs of the longer Warranty and must pass on that higher price to the purchaser.
It is the choice of the consumer to accept or reject the higher cost of a product due to the Warranty it has.
Recognizing the "Best Value" in a school bus video camera surveillance system warranty is determined by the customer, as only their opinion of this is relevant in the purchase selection. American Bus Video Inc. offers the customer a standard 1-Year System Warranty, 10-Year Camera Warranty, as well as the choice of optional "Testudo Lifetime System School Bus Camera Warranty," providing the widest selection of choices for School Bus Camera Systems while respecting the desire of most for the lowest price possible in our standard 1-Year Warranty as it will have the lowest cost and the school bus market, is usually seeking the "Best value" not the longest lasting as that costs more. Low Price School Bus Video Surveillance Cameras usually have a quality concern, but when you have the ability to purchase a Lifetime System Warranty for the Low Price School Bus Video Surveillance Camera you can ensure problem-free service or at least full system warranty protection.

Contract Student Charter Bus Services Camera System purchasers are often simply purchasing to meet the compliance requirements of a Student transportation contract BID or RFP. In those cases, they might prefer a much longer-lasting system warranty due to the fact they do not want to have additional expenses should a product fail under a 10+ year life of the bus in the contract.
The "Testudo Lifetime Warranty" offered by American Bus Video Inc. covers every single component in the system price and is, at the time of this writing, the longest-term Extended Warranty Option available for those who feel they need a Lifetime Warranty.
Most public transportation applications involve long-lasting vehicles, and in almost all cases, the vehicles far outlive the systems installed in them.
It is not uncommon to have a school bus camera system replaced or upgraded more than five times in the life of the bus, as the high heat, humidity, and vibrations can greatly shorten the service life of even a 100% solid State drive.
This can cause many future expenses when the systems wear out or fail to cause unexpected funds to be spent over and over, draining the future budgets of many mobile video school bus camera application types, including:
These applications are high-value targets for those who may entertain liability lawsuits due to the nature of the transportation and who is being transported.
In these applications, where the liability will always be high, it makes more sense to opt for the higher degree of digital video evidence protection afforded by having a Testudo Lifetime Warranty on the entire system.
Students With Disabilities & Special Needs Transportation Video Camera systems can be more involved to install and replace when they reach their service life's end. In this case, it might make sense to invest in the Testudo Lifetime Warranty and know that no matter what might fail in the future, every originally purchased system component will be covered for as long as you own the system.
Private Service Contractor Charter Transport Compliance Bus Camera Systems are often just a matter of compliance to secure a county or state contract for pupil transportation, so some might not need the additional warranty coverage of a Lifetime Warranty on the entire system, but do not discount that even if the system was purchased and installed out of compliance, the system might someday be all that stands between your company and a litigation lawsuit and nothing is as non-biased and impartial as a video camera system provided evidence in court.
Bus Seat Cover Vandalism Camera Surveillance systems are employed when students cause widespread damage to the bus seat covers.
