6085 Safety Vision, a specialist in mobile video and fleet automation solutions, has announced the addition of exterior cameras for the 6450 Houston Independent School District’s (HISD) fleet of 989 school buses. The company’s RoadRecorder 6000 PRO mobile digital video recorder (MDVR) and four SV-830 dome interior cameras are currently outfitted on every vehicle in HISD’s fleet to monitor the interior, entrance door, and front driver views of the school buses. In an on-going effort to increase student safety on school buses, HISD outfitted over 400 school buses each with three Safety Vision exterior cameras over the 2012 summer, and plans to retrofit the remaining school buses with exterior cameras by the beginning of the 2013 school year.

“The HISD Transportation Department has worked diligently this summer to increase student safety on our school buses,” says HISD’s senior manager of fleet operations Mark Swackhamer. “The addition of Safety Vision exterior cameras on 400 buses and eventually our entire fleet will greatly enrich our transportation security initiatives. Student and employee safety is our highest priority and the addition of Safety Vision exterior cameras will help us achieve our goals to have the most protected, reliable school buses possible,”

HISD is the largest school district in Texas and the seventh-largest in the United States with 298 schools and more than 200,000 students. The 301-square-mile district is one of the largest employers in the Houston metropolitan area.
