School Bus Video Surveillance System Management

School Bus Video Surveillance System

School Bus Camera System (including dash cams, interior cameras, stop arm cameras, side cameras, and rear cameras) is essential for ensuring student safety. Security cameras enhance visibility for students, save costs, and reduce accidents.

Despite the visibility of large yellow school buses, accidents on the road are still hard to avoid. During the 180-day school year, drivers committed over 17 million stop arm violations, and the likelihood of collisions or blind spot-related incidents involving school buses is comparable to that of regular vehicles. Although students are 70 times more likely to arrive safely at school by bus than by car, school bus accidents resulted in up to 1,207 fatalities from 2009 to 2018, not counting incidents that could endanger student safety within the bus.

By utilizing advanced school bus camera systems, you can easily monitor events inside and outside the bus, ensuring student safety. The following sections will explain how different types of security cameras can help enhance visibility, save costs, and reduce accidents.
