DVRs have an expected service life when used in a mobile application exposed to high heat, freezing temperatures, high humidity, and dusty environments.

Those charged with selecting and acquiring a best-value school bus camera recording system for their district woud be wise to learn the issues relating to the mobile DVRs in the Bus Camera systems as they will be the largest future source of expense in student transportation camera surveillance systems.

To start with, find out if the prospective dealer of this system incorporates propriety connectors on the cameras or the DVRs as that woud mean you must purchase all propriety connector parts from them, so they have enslaved a customer to their product, eliminating all freedom of choice. This completely undermines the capitalistic free market system, and your district will end up paying much higher costs in the future as they have already stolen your freedom to choose lower-cost products for replacement in the future.

For example, should your district be seeking the best value low-cost school bus camera for the district, you will want a system that does not incorporate propriety connectors such as our Low-Cost HD School Bus Child Safety Camera systems.


This is no different from the myriad or other mobile vehicle video applications we provide solutions for, including:
Customers who have been using our Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera Systems for the last seven years are now starting to see some DVRs reaching the end of their service life. Instead of purchasing the new 720P DVRs like the ones they purchased long ago, we can now provide them with higher technology, higher resolution 1080P DVR kits for about half the cost of a new DVR as they are past customers, so they qualify for the Customer Loyalty DVR Technology Upgrade or CLDTU Program.


The reason purchasing a backwards compatible no propriety connections system in th first place is so future expenss related to the system are much lowe rin coas tna d your distric tor company is not chainle to a specific manufacturer or supplier like and anchor. When large warehouse distribution centers with thousands of tractor trailers shuttled emptied and refilled monthly, those customers using our Warehouse Trailor 5th Wheel King Pin Yard Mule Spotter Camera systems often do not survive the high “G” impacts of new yard jockeys who are smashing into the King Pins and damaging them. The CLDTU program can save them about half the cost of the DVR replacements when they destroy them with high “G” impacts again and again. In several cases, they are actually bending the high-tempered steel King Pins, demonstrating the abuse these systems may be exposed to.


While some aspects of law enforcement are subsidized by federal funding grants by DHS, much smaller local departments of Corrections facilities need to be more frugal with their expenses.
Police Patrol Wagon Suspect, Prisoner, and inmate in-custody Transport Cameras that use our systems have a built-in advantage: the most expensive part of the system, the DVR, can be replaced at a much lower cost using our CLDTU program, where the DVR replacement can be about half the cost for past customers.


Those situations where elderly or Medicaid/Medicare transportation call for third-party transports often employ our Paratransit Driver Safety Video Camera Surveillance Systems in these vehicle applications. They, too, can lower the financial risk in the future by purchasing from American Bus Video Inc. so that every purchase they make will qualify them for the CLDTU (Customer Loyalty DVR Technology Upgrade) program, where they can reduce the future costs of the DVR by almost half when they eventually reach the end of their service life. While other companies are trying to make you spend more, we are trying to help you spend less as you are now our customer, and unlike some of our competitors, we continue to provide added value to our customers and not take advantage of them.

When transporting those of us who are elderly, whose health is poor, and whose physical state is fragile, it is important to manage the high cost of their transport and the additional measures often needed to help ensure their transport is safe, professional, and can be documented for future viewing and verification, the normal service life through wear and tear of the DVR can be a costly part of the Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Camera system and be taking advantage of the ABV “CLDTU” aka Customer Loyalty DVR Technology Upgrade program the future costs for the continued use of the vehicle video camera recording surveillance system can be greatly reduced.


When the DVRs are sold to customers using the Non-Emergency Medical Transit Camera Surveillance Systems, they now replace those older DVRs with the latest high-resolution technology DVRs, which are about half the cost of the new system. As they are a past customer, they are now entitled to the CLDTU, aka Customer Loyalty DVR Technology Upgrade from American Bus Video Inc., the home of the Testudo Lifetime School Bus Camera System Warranty.
