New Mobile Incident Recorder from Safety Vision Showcases at APTA Expo

Here’s what’s special: The RoadRecorder 8000’s features promise to bring mass transit surveillance into the next generation with open architecture and exciting partnerships, while the new Safety Vision 360 brings unprecedented panoramic views of vehicle interiors with fewer cameras.

Leveraging 20 years of experience in the mobile surveillance industry, Safety Vision has designed the RoadRecorder 8000 NVR to run an in-house developed firmware and software suite, or to be compatible with multiple open architecture environments, allowing for ultimate versatility.

“We leveraged all of our experience in this industry to design a recording server that is built to withstand the abuse of the mobile environment,” said Phillip King, Account Executive for Safety Vision. “It’s a ruggedized, fanless design that can be adapted to nearly any moving vehicle, including rail systems.”

When integrating with one of Safety Vision’s new partners, transit agencies can watch as riders enter a terminal, board a bus or train, and then depart at their stop. Law enforcement and first responders can add mobile views to stationary city surveillance, recording the complete narrative of events and enhancing critical evidence.

In addition to new video recorders, Safety Vision is particularly keen to introduce 360 degree views. The Safety Vision 360 camera combines a 2K x 2K resolution image sensor with a fisheye lens and a mobile-rated enclosure to bring amazingly high definition and wide angle views inside of a bus or motor coach.

This view peers over the tops of new high seatbacks and captures a complete event, from the back to the front of the bus, in one camera image.

Safety Vision’s Madison Nguyen, Account Executive, will demonstrate the new technology in Booth 3651 at the APTA 2017 EXPO. “The new 360 camera is seamlessly integrated with our SafetyView PRO software,” says Nguyen. “You simply right-click to ‘dewarp’ the fisheyed image, and then you can simply scan across it to see everything.”

Using familiar click and drag motions, users can pan-and-scan through the camera’s huge image, watching an event unfold in the back of the bus that ends near the front, all in one camera’s view.
