Seon announced a new video solution that allows school bus operators to more easily blur the faces of people recorded in video surveillance to ensure confidentiality of drivers and passengers.
The SmartBlur video archiving feature works in conjunction with Seon’s vMax® View that designed to simplify the viewing, archiving and retrieval of video data.
“SmartBlur is unique because the feature is applied to the entire video clip as opposed to a single still image,” said Peter Simmons, Seon’s director of marketing. “This feature allows video archives to be sent to other personnel knowing that the privacy of innocent bystanders will be fully protected.”
Seon’s vMax View allows transportation administrators to retrieve key details about onboard incidents using video synchronized with mapping software, allowing them to search by video clip, alarm, or date and time. It utilizes standard JPEG and AVI formats, as well as an encrypted video archive format, which secures the chain of evidence.
vMax View features easy-to-use software with straightforward play, forward, and rewind buttons, as well as a timeline with user-adjustable zoom and scroll. vMax View can help save on maintenance and fuel by ensuring drivers maintain good driving practices, minimize idling, and stay on designated routes.
