Safety Vision, a specialist in multimedia fleet automation with headquarters in Houston, Texas, has announced an exclusive agreement with Blue Bird, a leading manufacturer of school and activity buses, to resell the Safety Vision’s stand-alone, high definition stop arm camera system into the aftermarket through Blue Bird’s vast North American dealer network.
“In addition to the high definition stop arm camera system exclusivity, this agreement also allows our dealer network premiere access to Safety Vision’s proven product line of recorders, cameras and fleet tracking systems,” said Don Nichols, VP of parts for Blue Bird Corporation.
Safety Vision’s stop arm system is a turnkey, stand-alone solution incorporating a megapixel image sensor and solid state recording inside a rugged, weatherproof IP67/IK10 rated enclosure. Using the built-in I/O ports, the system can be configured to record in high definition 1080P or 3MP (megapixel) mode when the stop arm is actuated. All video is recorded in real time, 30 frames per second, and uses H.264 compression to maximize recording times on the built-in, 32GB solid state media.
“Studies indicate that the average school bus experiences three stop arm violations each week,” added Bruce Smith, CEO and president of Safety Vision. “Our new high definition stop arm camera system is a perfect fit for addressing this danger since it is a standalone system which does not require additional equipment or costly integration with third-party hardware or software.”
