Challenge: Many school systems, municipalities, and law enforcement agencies are adding surveillance video to buses, trains, subways, and even prisoner transport vehicles. In reaction to this demand, manufacturers are developing high-durability, mobile hardware. Rugged hardware includes microdome cameras and recording devices designed specifically for mobile environments.
Solution
Bosch in-vehicle cameras, stand-alone or in combination with IONODES in-vehicle NVR hardware, for mobile installations provide a complete solution that is robust.
The Bosch NDC-274-PM vandal-resistant microdome IVM (Interior Vehicle Mounting) camera offers a ready-to-use, complete network video surveillance system inside a MicroDome. These cameras bring Bosch’s high-performance technology to mobile applications such as buses, trains, subways and ferries by offering a cost-effective surveillance system. The cameras use H.264 compression technology to give clear images while reducing bandwidth and storage by up to 30%. The internal MicroSD card slot supports up to 2 TB (2048 GB) storage capacity and can record at the same time as or in place of the NVR. The NDC-274-PM has IP66 and IK08 protection and is specifically designed for an internal vehicle environment using an M12 connector.
The IONODES CR15, CR15L, and CR16 offer a variety of options and are deployed specific needs of the customer. In the case of the images below, an all-in-one unit is deployed which provides network connectivity, PoE for the cameras, recording, live view, and also wireless transmission for automatic off-loading of recorded video each time the transport vehicle arrives at headquarters.
