REASONS TO CHOOSE AUTO-JET
“Video will always be used to review the past, but going forward it will also help us predict the future by gathering millions of data points...”
-Clint Bryer, Safety Vision Other possibilities based on the power of AI include passenger counting,
alerts that a camera has been moved or the view is obstructed, and analysis of patterns that can inform preventve measures for enhanced safety. “With AI, cloud, and machine learning, the possibilities are endless,”
observed Safety Vision’s Bryer. “Video will always be used to review the past, but going forward it will also help us predict the future by gathering millions of data points that provide actionable insights, improve opera- tional efficiency, and it promotes a secure and transparent environment for students and stakeholders.”
Growing Trend Looking to the future, REI’s Moore said she sees increasing reliance on
cloud-based video surveillance. “Remote video retrieval, management and storage is the way of the fu-
ture and no doubt will become a standard for transportation departments,” she explained. “It’s the inevitable future of video management.” She added that encouraging efficiency, enabling efficacy and increasing

response times are just a few of the many benefits that cloud based video management provides. For transportation leaders interested in exploring cloud storage, ad- vance analysis is a must, explained McKinney. “Make sure that you have done your homework,” he advised. “Our method is just one way that you can use to improve your video capture—there are other methods available that can help streamline the process even more.” Moore recommends vetting options while also doing your research.
“Not all cellular data providers and cloud management solutions are the same,” she said. “Don’t be distracted by fancy buzzwords designed to dis- tract you from the core functionality that you need.” A key is having realistic expectations that stem from honest and trans-
parent conversations with vendors. While quality and price may be top considerations, the importance of training should not be overlooked, Michigan’s Breitenbecher pointed out. “Take your time to learn what your hardware and software are capable
of,” he said. “Make sure you partner with a company that not only stands behind their product, but also takes the time to teach you how to use it.” Once a system is in place, it’s important to keep tabs on the video that is
created, Breitenbecher added. “Keep good records of what videos you save or use,” he said. “Video re-
cords of student incidents are viewed and treated much like other student records and need to be properly maintained.” Limiting access is also vital. “To help avoid exposing your video to the risk of misuse, keep your list
of designated personnel short and manageable,” said AngelTrax’s Howard. “This applies to those with access to the hard drives and those with access to the cloud-hosted video.” ●
