Parents are in increasingly asking their school officials throughout the nation to install video surveillance systems to ensure student safety buses their children are riding on.
A good example is the Honeywell’s Silent Witness school bus video surveillance solution and which is a major company making video surveillance cameras and monitoring systems that many school districts are using for their school bus fleet.
We now here of terrorist threats and gang violence going on in and around school buses and having video surveillance cameras on school buses makes more sense in today’s every troubling world. Many school districts use multi-channel Digital Video Recorder’s that can record multiple camera views both outside and inside the bus’s entrance doors. The video cameras also have the ability to record audio surveillance, GPS coordinate systems to give real-time data with respect to the bus braking, speed and safety signal activation.
The Digital Video Recorder’s being used are able to start recording automatically, which date and time stamp the images when they are being recorded.
Panic buttons are installed so that when the driver hits the button, the recording is marked, making the altercation easy to find. The Video Surveillance cameras also can record audio, which is seen as a privacy intrusion by parents, students and attorneys but insures the incident is monitored in full both Video and Audio.
There are problems though by using these video surveillance systems on busses and in one incident has caused a class action suit against the Twin Valley, Pennsylvania school district for using a video surveillance system to record a student’s conversation on the school bus. Lawyers are claiming that this violated his privacy rights. However, the claimants lost their case because the students did not have an expectation of privacy. The suit was filed under Pennsylvania’s Wire Tapping and Electronic Surveillance Act and Title III of 1968, the claimants stated that the school district used the video surveillance footage to discipline the students.
Video Surveillance Cameras are not hidden, therefore students know they are being monitored. And because of this Video surveillance has been proven to curtail the management of violent and disruptive behavior on the buses. Because the video surveillance cameras offers immediate video and audio feedback it helps school administrators confront the children and/or adults involved soon after problem occur. video surveillance cameras systems in addition provide liability protection in case there is legal action against the driver for violating the terms of his bus driving contract.
Video surveillance systems are an on going investment for school districts and policies regarding them must be monitored and revised as this is a new application for video surveillance systems. A properly used video surveillance camera system can help give student safety and parents piece of mind in addition to deterring vandalism and terrorist threats against students and the bus itself.
