eo clear enough for my liking, is the IR sufficient for clear viewing in the dark and is the audio quality sufficient to hear pertinent dialog or events?” he added. Wardle’s other evaluation points include overall purchase


price as well as the ongoing costs to maintain the system, return on investment, and the vendor’s track record in the industry. For a smaller district such as Farwell Area Schools in Mich-


igan, which has slightly more than 1,000 students in five schools, starting modestly with new equipment may be the most practical option. That has worked well for Transportation Director Debbie Schomisch, who oversees a fleet of 15 buses. Last school year, she convinced school officials to try stop-arm cameras from AngelTrax on a couple of buses. “This has been the smartest purchase to date,” she noted. “So far


this year, we have been able to get the plates and information on six vehicles to turn over to authorities.” For Schomisch, finding the right balance in terms of overall


value is paramount. “Most important to me is getting the best quality I can for the best price,” she said. “I want a video that is easy to use with a clear picture. It’s also nice to use one system in the whole fleet.” Storage is also key. “I want enough capacity to keep at least a cou-


ple weeks of video,” she added. “Most issues are resolved within that time frame.”
