A bus company installs SerVision MVG video gateways in its fleet of buses. The video gateways all have cellular modems. When the buses are on the road, the video gateways automatically connect to the internet via their cellular modems. Company personnel can view live or recorded video from inside the buses using PCs, cellular phones, or PDAs that have internet connections. They can also track the locations of the buses using the MVG’s built-in GPS system.

When the buses enter the yard, the SVNVR in the company office automatically connects to the MVGs via WiFi and downloads all the video that was recorded while the buses were on the road. If an incident is reported later by a driver or rider, the video is always available to help company investigators find out what actually happened. Footage can even be brought as evidence in court if need be – the digital signature incorporated in every video frame proves its veracity.

The bus drivers also like the new systems. They can see every part of their buses on a closed-circuit monitor installed on the dash board, and the panic buttons connected to the MVGs increase their sense of security. The drivers know that if they press the panic button, the control room is immediately alerted. Security staff will immediately connect to the MVG on the bus to get a clear view of the situation, and will converse with the driver through the MVG’s two-way audio transmission system. If help is needed, it will be on its way fast.
