Superior image quality is arguably no longer the main attraction of IP camera migration. Instead the focus is shifting to feature-rich cloud-based solutions that require a new level of digital versatility.
IP cameras digitise at source meaning live or recorded footage can be transmitted over wi-fi or cellular networks – opening up a greater range of opportunities for how video is recorded, stored, accessed, and used.
This versatility means surveillance footage can be paired with data from on-vehicle third-party systems including CANbus, GPS, telematics, vehicle tracker, journey management, ticketing, passenger information, and passenger wi-fi – offering combined intelligence through integration.
Near real-time digital transfers of data will enable operators to implement cloud solutions and applications, most notably improving storage options, delivering immediate evidence sharing, and simplifying data management.
When paired with management tools, such as Synectics' Synergy 3 software, this data offers valuable insight to help transport operators drive informed decision making and real-time action, improving services, passenger safety, and operational efficiency. Ultimately boosting customer satisfaction and reducing costs.
