When it comes to student transportation, the number one priority is safety.

From bullying onboard to Stop-Arm violations on the street, our all-in-one solution protects children on and outside school buses.

In 2013 Fortress Mobile identified the need for improved cameras on school buses. We designed the first Stop-Arm Hi-Resolution IP Camera that captures the license plate and driver’s image even at high speed, far away and in low light.

Today our SureBus™ Student Tracking Solution helps administrators and parents with safe, efficient, student transportation.

STOP-ARM CAMERAS FOR SCHOOL BUSES

IP-Rated Camera
  • Clear and detailed imagery even at high speed, over distance and in low light.
  • License plate capture
  • Driver’s face capture
  • Time-stamped images
  • Video recording


Fortress Mobile Stop-Arm cameras for school buses are IP-rated outdoor cameras that affix to the side of the bus. This HD camera focuses on a vehicle that passes once the Stop-Arm deploys.

Provided by a Fortress Mobile customer. NOTE: The bus driver sustained minor injuries, no students were injured.

REAL EVENTS

This accident was captured by six camera angles and totally absolved the driver of any wrong doing. Fortress Mobile’s exterior school bus cameras recorded the hit vehicle’s license plate prior to the accident and the license plate of the vehicle that caused the accident. In the case of a hit-and-run, HD quality evidence was an encrypted link away from law enforcement.

A close call with a Log Truck that couldn’t stop in time, passing stopped school buses. Luckily no one was injured but in the case of a hit-and-run, law enforcement could quickly locate the vehicle because of the clear footage of the truck’s license plate.

“Students are made aware of the video system and live view. This has decreased student behavior events. The automatic download of data has streamlined the Stop-Arm violation process.”

Anthony Dupree, Design & Deployment Engineer, Park ‘N Fly

Protect Your Students with School Bus Fleet Management Software

Today’s schools and campuses are protected by extensive fence systems and other physical barriers that work to keep kids safe, but a school’s responsibility to its students does not begin and end at the borders of its grounds.

Although school security has come a long way over the last decade, school bus safety, in particular, is still lagging behind in many districts. School districts must also promote student safety while they are commuting to and from the building on school buses.

Core Features of Our School Bus Fleet Management System

When you invest in Fortress Mobile’s school bus fleet management system, you gain access to features and equipment that includes the following:

Microsoft Azure Cloud Storage

Old-school video storage systems require districts to manually download data kept on bus hard drives. Fortress Mobile has solved that shortcoming by providing Microsoft Azure cloud storage, providing dependable and efficient video storage. Not only does the cloud make it easier to store your videos, but you’ll be able to access them from anywhere as well.

A User-Friendly Mobile App

The Fortress Mobile mobile app is accessible and intuitive, and it also provides you with a secure portal through which you can access videos while on the go. You no longer have to be tied to your desk to review bus footage and investigate incidents.

SureBus Software

SureBus software is the backbone of our school bus fleet management system, which includes GPS features and a customizable dashboard so that you can access the information you need precisely when you need it.

Stop Arm, Dash, and Cabin Cameras

Our suite of robust cameras captures high-quality video footage from all angles. We can provide cabin cameras, dash cameras, as well as school bus stop-arm cameras, all of which feature large apertures to capture more lighting when filming in dark or low-light conditions.

Active Health Monitoring

Fortress Mobile’s school bus fleet management software features active health monitoring capabilities. Should your system or a piece of its equipment go offline, our platform will automatically notify you so you can get the issue resolved, which helps to prevent unexpected failures and ensure that your system is operational when it matters most.

Live Streaming

Antiquated fleet management solutions don’t allow you to view video footage until such data has been downloaded to your server. However, Fortress Mobile’s platform facilitates live streaming, so you can deal with time-sensitive issues immediately.

All-in-One DVR/NVR Hybrid System

Our hybrid DVR/NVR system provides exceptional reliability, usability, and video quality. Our system also features integrated GPS, LTE, and wireless capabilities, so you can access the data you need to effectively manage your fleet. These integrations also limit the need for excessive wiring and simplify the installation process.

High-Quality Video

Our school bus camera systems are truly state-of-the-art, as all of them are capable of recording 4K quality video. Still, we also give you the freedom to reduce video quality to reduce cloud storage usage.

Easy Sharing Capabilities

Fortress Mobile makes sharing videos with your team, the authorities, or insurers easy with our clip and sharing features. By facilitating faster video sharing, we enable you to expedite your incident resolution efforts and therefore protect your district from liability.

World Class Customer Service

Fortress Mobile proudly delivers personalized service and support via our in-house team. We do not outsource service to a call center, as we believe no one can serve you as we do, and to ensure you can reach us whenever you need us, our service team is available 24/7 through our convenient online ticketing system.

What Makes Our School Bus Camera Systems Unique?

Fortress Mobile’s school bus fleet management software provides school districts with high-quality solutions at great price points. Everything from our mobile app to our school bus stop-arm cameras are designed with user-friendliness and reliability in mind.

However, what truly differentiates our software package from other options out there is its live-streaming capabilities. With the Fortress Mobile app, authorized users can stream live interior and exterior video footage from anywhere, a capability that enables you to rapidly assess critical incidents, such as traffic crashes or bullying allegations so you can appropriately respond.
