Gatekeeper Systems Inc. won a contract from Alpine School District in American Fork, Utah for 48 school bus video systems. The school district is located about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. Totaling $93,800, the contract includes both four- and six-camera systems.
Alpine School District currently operates a fleet of 285 school buses, which transports 21,000 children every school day. In the past, Gatekeeper has provided both its G series 304 four-camera system and 508 eight-camera digital video recording system. Additionally, Alpine is using Gatekeeper’s Wide Dynamic Range cameras that integrate PIXIM technology for superior imaging performance in fluctuating light conditions, according to the company.
Both platforms feature GPS, which synchronizes bus location with video, time and data and other vehicle sensor metadata to provide transportation managers with a total operating picture of what is happening in and around their yellow buses.
“The decision makers at Alpine School District are forward-looking visionaries and have the foresight to invest in Wide Dynamic Range technology to ensure advanced imaging in difficult light conditions found in and around school buses,” said Gatekeeper President and CEO Doug Dyment. “In addition, our scalable platform gives Alpine administrators the ability to deploy up to eight cameras on a single platform, which is an increasing trend as school districts require multiple camera views.”
Dyment added that its scalable video solution enables customers to add up to 16 cameras, thus providing a 360-degree view of the bus, dual video channels for simultaneous recording and live streaming over cellular for emergency situation analysis.
Gatekeeper has provided mobile video security solutions since 1997 and has installations in every state and province in North America, serving school districts, public transit, law enforcement and military.
