It could catch a bad guy. It could prevent property damage. It could ultimately save a life. It is a mobile video recording system. These systems help transit systems – buses, taxis, trains, law enforcement, first responders – save money by deterring crime and vandalism as well as disposing of false and misleading claims more quickly. Also, by showcasing a safer riding experience, they help increase passenger volumes and rapid transit revenues. “When implemented on school buses as part of an overall security surveillance system, for example, they provide school districts with curb-to-curb protection for their children. As evidence, they save districts money by providing irrefutable proof of what really happened,” says Rick Gougeon, MobileView manager, GE-Interlogix, Corvallis, Ore. These kinds of systems are perfect for any type of mobile application that needs to provide a safe environment or that faces many liability issues or both.
“This surveillance solution has aided tremendously in the reduction of liabilities for municipalities employing public transportation,” says Allison Gaptor, senior marketing manager, Loronix Video Solutions, Denver.
