When you receive school bus camera quotes from different vendors, how do you determine which is best? Do you find intricate terms such as resolution, bit rate, frame rate, dual stream, hard drive vs. solid state, 1080p and CIF confusing?
It’s all crystal-clear, right? What do you really need to know to elevate your school bus surveillance? Are all suppliers created equal? Surveillance technology and its myriad of terms and functions can be mind-boggling, to say the least. Choosing a surveillance partner may be even more difficult, especially when dollars are at stake.
