Safety Vision Completes Camera System Installation for SCUSD School Buses

Advanced Bus Camera Systems Enhance Safety and Reliability

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, February 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Safety Vision, a leading provider of mobile video surveillance solutions, has successfully completed the installation of an advanced camera system on all school buses for the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD). The project, finalized on October 16, 2024, provides the district with a robust solution to enhance student safety and improve incident management.

SCUSD faced ongoing challenges with their legacy camera system, which failed to capture critical footage during accidents or incidents, hindering their ability to provide vital evidence. The district also struggled with the labor-intensive process of manually retrieving footage, prompting a need for a more reliable, sustainable solution.

A rapid installation schedule enabled the project’s smooth execution. Safety Vision’s certified installation team completed the majority of the buses during the Thanksgiving break, with a follow-up visit during the winter holiday break to finish the remaining buses. The on-site installations were strategically scheduled to minimize disruptions to the district’s daily bus operations, and the district praised the speed and quality of the work.

In December 2024, Safety Vision conducted a remote training session with SCUSD’s transportation team. This was followed by an advanced in-person training session in early January 2025 to ensure all systems were fully operational. The training covered how to access footage through Safety Vision’s Foresight Pro Video Management System (VMS) and manual footage retrieval processes until wireless downloads are fully operational.

The district selected a 5-camera system, using the 4112 Hybrid Video Recorder (HVR) for its General Education buses and a 3-camera system using the 4401-HVR, for its Special Education buses. Additionally, SCUSD chose to implement Wireless Download and Live Look-In features, which will enable the district to access footage remotely as soon as a bus returns to the yard. Although the wireless download functionality is currently on hold awaiting the installation of outdoor access points, this feature will be fully operational in the coming months, further improving the district’s ability to manage and monitor bus safety.

SCUSD’s transportation team expressed their satisfaction with the new system, noting its immediate value in identifying opportunities for driver training, including issues related to cell phone distractions and poor driving habits. The district was so impressed with the performance of the system that they have referred Safety Vision to neighboring school districts, further demonstrating the positive impact of the solution.

“We are thrilled to see the positive results SCUSD has experienced with our camera systems,” said Clint Bryer, VP of School Transportation of Safety Vision. This installation marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing school districts with reliable, high-quality video surveillance solutions that enhance safety for students and drivers alike.”
