Smart Solutions for
School Bus Security
Keep students and drivers safe in transit with real-time access to video feeds for faster investigations
NVR-free architecture for easy deployment
Simple to deploy
Outfit your entire bus fleet with cloud security cameras featuring on-device storage and optional audio recording — no NVRs or bulky servers needed. Verkada Cellular Gateways enable real-time video access, while third-party timer relays power cameras with ignition and shut them down automatically to conserve bus battery life.
Access video feeds remotely
No more waiting for the bus or for someone to physically retrieve footage. Investigate incidents as they happen and share live or archived footage with school safety personnel or law enforcement via SMS or a direct link to support rapid response.
Manage the system with ease
Transportation directors and school administrators can easily find, save, and share incident footage within minutes after being onboarded — zero IT expertise required. A centralized, cloud-based interface empowers teams with instant visibility across the entire fleet, speeding up incident investigations.
Investigate in real time, from anywhere
Find footage with GPS video search
Easily trace a vehicle’s route on a digital map during a chosen timeframe and pull up footage from any point along the way with GPS video search. If it’s unclear which bus captured an event, simply enter an address to search across multiple routes, see every vehicle that passed through in that timeframe, and retrieve relevant video.
Quickly locate missing students
When a concerned parent calls in, act fast. Search for students by uploading a photo, typing a student’s description, or entering a boarding or drop-off address. Share real-time location intel on when and where students were last seen to help local authorities begin search efforts immediately.
Compare cellular carrier coverage
Quickly see connection quality along a vehicle’s route, compare carriers, and troubleshoot issues remotely. For coverage, bring your own data plan or use the Verkada data plan – both options let admins switch between major carriers with a click, test coverage along routes, and compare performance to select the most reliable network.
Audit claims with video evidence
Easily locate incident footage using filters for bus, date, and time — whether it’s a reported altercation or a driver’s alleged comment. Share archived footage with school administrators, enabling selective face blur on video clips to protect the privacy of surrounding students not involved.
Speed up incident documentation
Save time on manual paperwork. Easily document and archive safety incidents en route — from fights to traffic incidents — with a digital system that automatically sorts video clips in chronological order and generates shareable PDF reports in one click.
