Key points to confirm when selecting a bus camera and Mobile DVR solution.
How many cameras does a bus camera system need?
A basic system may use four cameras for the road, entrance, cabin and rear. Larger buses often use an 8CH system for additional left-side and right-side coverage. Final quantity should follow the vehicle layout and required viewing areas.
Which Mobile DVR is suitable for a bus?
K6204 is suitable for standard four-camera recording. K6108 is designed for eight-camera coverage. KN6204 or KN6208 can be selected when optional AI functions are required.
Can the system support 4G remote monitoring and GPS?
Yes. Selected configurations support 4G, GPS and compatible fleet platforms. Available functions can include remote video, playback, positioning and configured event upload, depending on the network, platform and software configuration.
Should a bus Mobile DVR use an HDD or SSD?
HDD can prioritize capacity and cost, while SSD is often selected for higher-vibration environments because it has no moving mechanical parts. The final choice should consider retention time, road conditions, budget and recorder compatibility.
Can AI functions be added to the bus camera system?
Optional ADAS, DMS, BSD, face recognition and automatic passenger counting are available on selected AI MDVR configurations. Compatibility depends on the recorder, AI cameras, licenses, calibration and platform.
What information is needed for a bus system quotation?
Please provide the bus type, vehicle quantity, required camera positions, estimated recording time, storage preference, need for 4G, GPS, WiFi or AI, destination country and any required platform or protocol.
