While the ideal physical stature of a school bus driver would be a fit MMA fighter with the immune system of a 20-year-old and the perfect driving record of a limousine chauffeur, plus the patience of a Special Needs Instructor, the reality is many districts have a difficult time hiring the most qualified drivers due to low pay, bad hours and lack of desire to be responsible for the many children. Many districts must offer opportunities to those not the best suited for this work, and that can create additional risk in this passenger transport application in itself.

Older drivers may have medical issues themselves, physical frailty, mental and cognitive health-related issues, and others like me may literally lose their mind when there are 50+ screaming little people behind them who will not sit in their seats and behave.



Low Cost School Bus Cameras can help drivers perform their duties more safely in many different ways.

One example is after a route is over and the children are dropped off at school in the morning or at home in the afternoon, and the drivers are often required to check the bus for sleeping or hiding children. The onboard school bus child safety camera system can record the driver performing this safety function.

Another example is when claims are made that the driver is texting while driving, violating school district bus driver policy and state and federal laws. The Affordable School Bus Camera Surveillance systems can verify or disprove those claims.

School Bus Stop Arm Safety Cameras can help document those vehicles passing a school bus loading or unloading children in violation of the law and endangering the children’s lives.

Claims the driver was speeding can quickly be resolved with the addition of GPS passive systems that document all bus speeds, stops, and start locations.

The GPS options can also help resolve claims the drivers dropped of children at the wrong stops.

This is no different from the myriad of other mobile vehicle video applications we provide solutions for, including:
Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera System applications are where management can use video files to verify events and incidents that arise when arguments between drivers and others are involved.


5th Wheel, King Pin Trailer CS1 Spotter Yard Mule Camera applications are also a lone driver, and when events or incidents occur, it is often their word as to what happened by using the School Bus Cameras video files, the evidence on the video files can often back up the driver.


Police Patrol Wagon Suspect, Prisoner & Inmate in-custody Transport Camera systems are incorporated in instances like transport where a lone driver is often accused of doing something wrong to the prisoner in custody.


Paratransit Driver Safety Video Camera Surveillance Systems depend on the unbiased expert witness evidence provided by the digital high-definition recording system when problems arise that need to be viewed by management or the authorities.


Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Cameras are installed to help ensure the passengers are treated with kindness and dignity during their transport as often some are on prescription drugs that can alter your perception of events.


Non-Emergency Medical Transit Camera Surveillance Systems are often transporting passengers who may stage incidents or claim events that did not occur in order to receive settlements from the transporters. When working with low-income patients, this can be an issue as some may perceive the transporter as well financed and insured, and while the claims they make are known to them to be false, they may not connect the claims with personal damage to the reputations of the driver or financial damages to the transporter company. Insurance fraud is often perceived as a victimless crime, so it can be more prevalent than other forms of crime.
