Why does it make sense to invest in a backward-compatible School Bus Video Camera solution for your bus fleet?

One reason is to lower your costs in the future when you upgrade or replace components, as the older purchased components like cameras and cables will be adaptable to the newer technology DVRs that will be replaced as the older ones reach the end of their service life.


For example;

In 2010, we sold our customers Analog CIF systems with 320x240 TVL resolutions.
All newer technology DVRs we sold after that would work with the older Analog cameras, saving schools a fortune in equipment cost and installation labor.

When the new standard for resolution increased to VGA:
in 2013, we sold our customers Analog VGA systems with 640x480TVL resolutions.
All newer technology DVRs we sold after that for school bus camera applications or Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera Systems would work with the older Analog cameras, saving schools a fortune in equipment cost and installation labor

When the new standard for resolution increased to VGA+:
in 2015, we sold our customers Analog VGA+ systems with 720x480TVL resolutions.
All newer technology DVRs we sold after that would work with the older Analog cameras, in school buses or Police Patrol Wagon Suspect, Prisoner & Inmate in-Custody Transport Camera saving schools a fortune in equipment cost and installation labor.

When the new standard for resolution increased to 720P:
in 2016, we sold our customers High-Definition (HD) 720P systems with 1080x720 resolutions.
All newer technology DVRs we sold after that would work with the older Analog cameras in school bus applications and 5th Wheel King Pin Warehouse Tractor CS1 Spotter Yard Mule Camera, saving schools a fortune in equipment costs and installation labor.

When the new standard for resolution increased to 1080P:
in 2020, we sold our customers Full High-Definition (FHD) systems with FHD 1080P systems with 1920x1080 resolutions.
All newer technology DVRs we sold after that would work with the older Analog cameras in school bus applications and Paratransit Driver Safety Video Camera Surveillance Systems, saving schools a fortune in equipment cost and installation labor


All new DVRs we offer can use the cameras we have been selling for decades, which saves our existing customers the additional cost of replacing all functional older cameras with new, higher-priced cameras just because the DVR sold long ago may have reached the end of its service life.

Those transporting children in Wheelchair equipped buses may benefit from our Special Needs Wheelchair School Bus Video Surveillance Systems.

These offer low-cost, affordable School Bus Camera System solutions while maintaining backward compatibility to save money in the future on the required replacement of functional cameras when new DVR technology is introduced.






Preventing pollution is another good reason to select a system with a proven history of more than 2 decades of backward compatibility with its components.
Low Cost Best Price School Bus Camera Systems are not that different from other applications that can also benefit from the backward compatibility of the Private Service Contractor Charter Transport Compliance Bus Camera Systems provided by our company.


Imagine you own a fleet of school buses that you charter, and you have installed one of the systems in every bus. Every 3-5 years, when the technology advances drastically, the school district you are servicing requires the latest DVR upgrade technology or feature. With most other systems, you would be stuck replacing every component, all cameras all wiring to get the newest feature as the business model embraced by the company you purchased from incorporates proprietary connectors and now requires that you replace every single component.

It is not bad enough that you must replace all the components, costing you wasted time and labor, but now you have a small number of components that will not work with anything they sell now and in the future. This causes you to fill your trash dumpsters, costing you more money to dispose of, not to mention the eco damage as you are filling the landfills with fully functional products just because the manufacturer does not want you to be able to mix and match older components with newer technology DVR.


It is especially important that Private Contractor Student Charter Transport Bus Camera Systems operate with on-board cameras for school buses that are backward compatible to prevent getting locked into a propriety connector system that forces you to spend more of your hard-earned profits just to further enrich high commission sales persons.
