Extreme temperatures are the toughest part of the on site installs, whether it is the Affordable School Bus Camera System on site installations we performed in 154-degree heat in a SC heatwave or 12 degrees and windy in UT, it does not change the fact that we must work outside to permit easy access to the buses without the need to constantly stop all work and move buses in and out of the shops.
This is why what may take a bus shop mechanic 2 hours to install a 1-camera system, we can perform in 18 minutes. They are required to work in a semi-controlled professional atmosphere, but our job description encourages freezing and overheating.

Many in other vehicle video camera applications have often asked us why we prefer to work in the yard, often in the heat and freezing cold, over having them move the vehicle into the service shop for us, where we have access to climate-controlled environments and power and lights hookups.

We have installed many forklifts and materials handling industrial trucks in the rain outside when the lifts were out of service temporarily and not easily able to get them inside. The Industrial-grade Forklift HD Industrial Materials Handling Trucks Operator Safety Camera Systems we sell are completely waterproof to IP67 standards, so the cameras, DVR, and digital display are not affected by rain. I can attest it is not pleasant working in the rain on electrical component installs, but sometimes you must do what needs to be done to complete the installs and move on to the next sites.

There were many on-site installations of Medicaid NEMT Medical Transport In-Vehicle Surveillance Camera systems up north during the winter, when the shop mechanics offered to bring the vehicle into the shop, where it is heated and out of the snow. But we are contractors, and contractor work is not the same as hourly work. Contractors are typically more motivated and thus faster than hourly employees, as they get paid for what they do, not how long it takes. It is an entirely different mindset, one that prioritizes performance over comfort, so the way to maximize our profits is to work where the vehicles are and suffer the harsh environments when we can.


When you fly into OH to install 26 Elderly Day Care Shuttle & Assisted Living Transportation Vehicle Video Camera systems, and the winter blizzard shuts down all entertainment and restaurant establishments, there is simply nothing left ot do but work all day and night until the installs are completed so you can get back to the airport and hope for a flight home.
