BusSecure

 is an industry-specific security camera system developed to help solve problems 

experienced by fleet operators. It is a digital video recording system that can support up to four cameras 
in a mobile environment and store captured images in a vehicle-mounted digital video recorder (DVR). 
Images can then be viewed and examined later.

ECORDING

 

The central component of the BusSecure system is a high-quality DVR, which records images from up to 
four cameras (monochrome or color, NTSC or PAL) with single-channel audio and information such as 
the time, date, and vehicle number. Image storage capacity can be adjusted by recording speed, selected 
resolution, and drive size. 

The DVR begins capturing images as soon as the vehicle’s engine is started and continues to record as 
long as the vehicle is running. When the available storage capacity is full, the DVR will automatically 
purge the oldest image data to make room for new image data. Tagged images (images recorded 
because of alarm activation) can be protected from being overwritten for a user-designated period of time 
(the default setting is 30 days) or can be protected from being over written at all.

The captured digital images are stored as monochrome or color files, and are taken from the DVR and 

downloaded to a computer with the BusSecure WaveReader

TM

 software. The DVR connects through an 

Ethernet connection to a standard desktop PC or Laptop installed with a Windows 98/2000/NT/XP 
operating system. When the DVR is connected to a PC or Laptop with the WaveReader software, images 
can be viewed and transferred to long-term storage media such as DAT tapes, floppy disks, or recordable 
CDs.
