Interior Bus Cameras
To help motorcoach companies ensure safety and protection for their drivers and passengers on a bus or motorcoach, we offer multi-mounted mobile-connected cameras inside buses to keep a watchful eye in case any incidents go down. Our vehicle CCTV systems record what happens on the inside of a bus, just in case any individuals are bullying or acting out toward one another.
If such passenger behaviors escalate, we will then have the video evidence to show local authorities just in case anything goes down. We also offer driving-facing cameras to monitor any bad driver behaviors such as distracted driving or eyes off the road. Say one of your customer passengers voices a complaint about the driver behaviors, the buses’ surveillance footage can be easily reviewed to resolve such disputes.

Our bus video surveillance system includes a wide range of mobile DVRs, which record video to a secure solid-state drive or an SD card, depending on the DVR (digital video recorder) installed.

FAQs
FAQs About Our Bus Cameras.
Does skEYEwatch have bus stop arm cameras?
How do you download video surveillance from skEYEvue cameras.
All of our cameras are continuously loop recording to an onboard mobile DVR. Our mDVR is online connected allowing authorized personal to use the internet and the skEYEvue online dashboard to review video surveillance online, even if the bus is offsite. This also includes viewing the cameras in real-time.
Review our knowledge base for video demos on how to use cloud retrieval and how to use live-view in the skEYEvue online dashboard.
How much recorded footage can be stored on a mobile DVR (mDVR)?
It varies… We have several configuration options to optimize storage on our mDVRs. H264 is the video codec that we use which is really good for file size optimization.
As far as how many hours can stored, it depends how big the storage drive is in gigabytes, the video resolution, and how many cameras are recording simultaneously per vehicle.
Example: Our cameras can record up to 1080p (Full HD) up to 24fps. At that resolution and frame rate, it would eat through the storage pretty quickly, especially for vehicles that have multiple cameras. Most customers opt for 720p (standard HD) at around 15fps. At this configuration, you will still have smooth and clear picture.
Do school buses have cameras?
Yes! As of December 2021, there are 23 local state governments in the U.S. that have passed regulations for implementing the use of school bus cameras; These mostly pertain to stop arm camera laws.
