Driver’s Control
Located near the driver this unit shows that everything is
working and allows the driver to mark an event.

The Basics
Digital Hard Drive writes over itself after about 50 hours of
recording.
The unit comes on with the ignition and turns off 5 minutes
after the bus is turned off.
The unit does not broadcast anything “live”. We cannot
watch, listen to, or see the bus location in “real time”. We can
- nly see and hear what was recorded earlier.

Maintenance
- All units are covered by a 5 year parts warranty.
- Fixed cost maintenance agreement as part the purchase of
cameras
- No cost to the bus contractors for installation and
maintenance over the life of the cameras
- Responsiveness of the repair vendor has been excellent.
- Minimal problems with the units to date

How we access the recorded information
- A driver, school administrator or parent
can request that we view the contents of a hard drive.
- The contents of the hard drive will remain in proprietary software
format to avoid misuse.

Plug in and play
- Parents cannot view the contents
since other students are present on the video
- Hard drive files will be kept until the completion of any appeal process.

Camera systems do not replace the need for referrals.
It is always expected that if a driver sees or hears an
event on the bus that needs to be reported, the driver should write a referral for that behavior.
It is our belief that the driver’s word is good enough, but
in cases when more information or an investigation is needed the DVR systems can provide that service.
Serious behaviors, such as fights, weapons, alcohol and
drugs, may need to be viewed immediately.
Serious incidents that the driver did not see may need to
be viewed immediately.

Benefits of Angeltrax
School bus drivers with Angeltrax cameras on their buses have
been very supportive of the new systems.
The Angeltrax camera systems have been successful tools in
investigating and resolving student behavior incidents.
School administrators find the Angeltrax camera systems to be a
useful tool in managing student behavior on the bus.
Ability to monitor routes and verify contractor manifests as needed Ability to monitor and reduce bullying behavior on the bus Provides definitive documentation related to potential lawsuits
