Low-cost School Bus Camera systems can have the option of Live Streaming Cellular to provide the system with a means to track in real-time the activities and locations of the pupil transport vehicles, and the VLS aspects of these mechanisms within the mobile school bus DVR can provide vehicle location when needed.
Since the terrorist murder and hijacking of Americans in several airplanes, and the intentional crashing of them as a terror plan to kill several thousands in aircraft collisions with the Twin Towers in NY, and other targets, there have been elevated concerns that the public school bus pupil transportation buses would be a top target for religious extremists to terrorize the West. I have had several discussions with government officials as well as law enforcement officers inquiring about the best ways to implement these abilities discretely.
Many in higher levels of government and law enforcement have advocated the implementation of adding GPS/VLS devices to School Bus Camera Systems to provide a mechanism to permit the immediate location of both transit city buses and public school buses when necessary.
I have always seen the problem of integrating the Cellular SIM card streaming video or telemetric data to a central facility to track the vehicles as intellectually driven.
What I mean is few people think like a criminal, even fewer like a murderer, and far less like a religion-compelled intolerant mass murderer, which is why many federal law enforcement alphabet entities must seek out very bad people on occasion to help them understand the motivations and thoughts or intentions of these serial sociopaths, who do great evil in the name of their religion.
Other fleet vehicle safety camera applications do not have this unusual potential danger because they do not include the passenger side of the potential attraction for terrorism.
For example, Forklift HD Industrial Operator Safety Camera Recorder Systems do not need to be concerned with radical religious zealots hijacking a forklift and holding it for ransom. A forklift is not a passenger vehicle, so there are no terrorist-related issues. If stolen or hijacked, it is simply a piece of equipment, nothing more, and easily replaced.
The same is true of the 5th Wheel King Pin Warehouse Terminal Trailer CS1 Spotter Yard Mule Camera system installed on the Terminal Shunt Trailer Swapper Yard Jockey tractor. It is not a passenger vehicle but a tool for moving trailers around a yard, so it is not a prime target because there will not be any hostages they can threaten to torture or kill for leverage to get the government to do what they wants.
The suggestions I offered to all of these agencies and LEO persons who asked me were to immediately separate the School Bus Video Camera Surveillance systems from the GPS/VLS mechanism.
I explained the first casualty in a hypothetical school bus hijack would be the driver, who will likely be murdered to strike terror in the children and eliminate any potential for an adult who might resist their actions.
I then let them know the second target will be the school bus camera recorder system. They put all their technology and GPS/VLS tech into it, as from all indications, terrorist advocates and supporters in the USA clearly do not want to be recorded. They are cowards like so many college terrorists supporting protestors who must hide their faces as they do not want the world to hold them accountable for their despicable, heinous acts of cruelty and acts against humanity.
They will immediately destroy the camera's optical eyes and then seek and destroy the DVR, which is the recording device and memory storage. Thus, they will destroy the integrated GPS/VLS, making the vehicle’s tracking and Location impossible.
I suggested from the start that they separate the 2 technologies, keeping an Affordable School Bus Camera as a stand-alone device and the GPS/VLS as a separate stand-alone device. That was covert, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so when needed, it would be there.
I would surmise the desire to track this vehicle by federal govt alphabet agencies has already implemented a technology similar to Lojack in every new bus manufacturer, with all access provided to DHS, FBI, and maybe DOE. Given the inflationary cost of these new buses, it would be easy to imagine they could integrate a device that would only cost about $50 under some obscure government requirement.
This is no different from the myriad of other mobile vehicle video applications we provide solutions for, including:
It would not be inconceivable to surmise that other applications such as Police Patrol Wagon Suspect, Prisoner & Inmate In-custody Transport Camera systems have the same issues and desires from government agencies, so it is likely that in the future if not always implemented, they have incorporated a covert GPS/VLS technology into other passenger transportation markets such as Paratransit Driver Safety Video Camera Surveillance Systems as they could be taken advantage of the same as other passenger vehicles.
The news broadcast that our oldest and weakest in their golden years might be assaulted or used as pawns in an ideological conflict suggests that it would also be a good idea to incorporate the Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Camera system in the vehicles with a separate and stand-a-lone GPS/VLS system.
Non-emergency Medical Transit Camera Surveillance Systems that transport low-income patients from place to place for medical-related concerns can also be a good candidate for a 2 system separation of the vehicle video camera recorder and the GPS/VLS.
