SAFE FLEET BLOG

As millions of students in North America travel on a school bus each day, securing their safety is a serious matter.

In recent years, school districts have been adopting and implementing the latest, advanced technology features on their school bus fleets to enhance the safety of their riders. From high visibility Stop arms to camera-and-sensor-backed systems.

Camera systems play a vital role in enhancing student safety while on the bus. By having a clear view of everything in and around the school bus, school districts can ensure students are following safety rules and have a source of clear evidence in case of an incident.

Camera systems provide the basic and necessary safety foundation for every school bus. School districts can elevate the safety level they provide students on the bus by adding complementary technologies to their existing camera system. Live streaming as an example.

You can implement live-streaming when you pair a camera system with school bus internet connectivity. This technology allows school administrators to have a real-time video stream, see what’s happening on-board the bus and act quickly in the event of an emergency.

Live-Streaming Inside the Bus

Live-streaming allows schools to monitor bus activity in real time by accessing views from cameras installed on the bus. The footage is transmitted to authorized school administrators using an internet connection and is accessed using a secure portal.

Respond Quickly to Emergencies

Live-streaming enables greater safety inside the school bus by helping officials respond to emergencies quicker and with greater accuracy. In the event of an unexpected incident or security threat, a live-streaming camera inside the bus provides critical data (What? Who? Where?) that could alter the outcome of a response.

Boost Parent–School Communications

The evidence gathered with the help of camera systems and video recorders helps parents learn more about the circumstances leading up to reported behaviors or incidents on the school bus. Video footage provides transportation officials and parents with clear evidence of what has occurred and gives them the peace of mind their children are in good hands.

Enhanced Safety

Accuracy and timeliness are the two key components of every successful outcome. Give your bus drivers and students the increased safety these two response elements provide in the event of an incident with live streaming, and help parents rest easier knowing any event will be addressed quickly and effectively.

Live-streaming technology inside the school bus is a great way to enhance the safety of students and school personnel inside. By monitoring dangerous behavior, effectively responding to crises, and improving communications, school administrations can provide a better overall service and improved safety for everyone on board.
