Video Surveillance
open-architecture, ONVIF-compliant systems. ONVIF
is a neutral industry standard that ensures systems
created by different manufacturers can " talk " to each
other. You can verify your system conforms to ONVIF
standards online at onvif.org.
Cost is also an important consideration for many
organizations that are interested in transitioning to
a unified, open-architecture system, but it's important
to remember that the whole system doesn't need
an overhaul on day one. The upgrade can be worked
toward gradually by choosing ONVIF-compliant
systems for all new purchases.
Another option is switching to a unified, open-arthe
complete
safety solution
for your fleet
chitecture system, which can offer significant longterm
savings. Unifying all onboard and wayside
systems within one software system may be cheaper
than buying several different proprietary systems.
A unified system also makes it easier to streamline
and automate certain processes and
thereby saves resources. For example,
at MBTA, retrieving and sharing video
evidence previously required a lot
more manual intervention. Someone
had to physically remove hard drives
from buses and trains, upload the data
to another computer, copy the information
to a disc or thumb drive, and
walk or drive the file over to whoever
else needed to see it. Now, the file
is securely stored in the cloud and is
easy to share via an encrypted link. The
video surveillance software can also
help find important moments caught
on camera by cross-referencing with
GPS and other data.
360HD Surround View
Camera System
+ SAFE-T-SCOPE®
Rosco's Safe-T-Scope®
360HD
360HD is a commercial grade, surround view,
aerial camera system. Developed to reduce collisions and increase
safety, the system utilizes four (4) 192° field-of-vision cameras to
offer drivers 360° three dimensional HD views around the school bus,
covering crucial blind zones where visibility is otherwise lost.
Dual-Vision®
+ ROSCOLIVE®
Dual-Vision®
XC4 & ROSCOLive®
bring the
power of real-time fleet management to
your fingertips. Rosco's Dual-Vision®
XC4
is an advanced HD recorder that helps
reduce risk, improve safety and lower the
costs of transportation and management of
commercial fleets.
Moving to a
Unified System
Moving from siloed systems to a
unified, open-architecture physical
security system is a big undertaking,
but your software partner should be
ready and willing to support you every
step of the way. Don't be afraid to ask
questions and get an in-depth tour of
how the software works in transit applications.
You want a partner who is
excited to share insights gained from
working with organizations like yours.
Exciting innovations are happening
in technology that are helping
transit authorities to improve rider
and employee safety, operational efficiency
and customer experience.
Open architecture systems allow you
to adopt best-of-breed technology
as soon as it hits the market. You'll
be amazed what opportunities await
when all systems work together within
one unified platform.
