There are several types of cameras used on school buses to ensure safety.
- Interior Cameras: These cameras are mounted inside the bus to monitor students’ behavior. They help prevent bullying, fights, and other misbehaviors. Interior cameras also offer a valuable tool for school administrators to address discipline problems that may arise on the bus.
- Exterior Cameras: Exterior cameras are installed on the outside of the bus to capture the area surrounding the bus. This type of camera helps improve road safety by recording the behavior of other drivers and capturing incidents such as vehicles passing a bus when the stop arm is extended.
- Stop-Arm Cameras: These specialized cameras are mounted on the bus’s stop arm to catch drivers who illegally pass a stopped bus when children are loading or unloading. The cameras capture license plates and other identifying features to help authorities issue fines or citations to violators.
