The Safety Vision high-definition stop-arm camera system is a turnkey system incorporating a megapixel image sensor and solid state recording inside a rugged, weatherproof IP67/IK10-rated enclosure. Utilizing the built-in I/O ports, the system can be configured to record in 1080P or 3MP (megapixel) mode when the stop arm is actuated.
All video is recorded in real time at 30 frames per second, and utilizes 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,” said Bruce Smith, president and CEO of Safety Vision. “Our new high-definition stop-arm camera system is a perfect fit for addressing this danger because it is a standalone system that does not require additional equipment or costly integration with third-party hardware or software.”
