I am a school bus driver in Canada and need a dash camera that will accurately read lic. Plates. It is a safety issue people drive past my red lights when loading and unloading students. Can anyone help.
Thank you for the info I need one as a prototype to demonstrate to our division that it works. This problem is so bad that one province in Canada just passed a law that one violation results in a $5000.00 find 1 year license suspension Any help is greatly appreciated. KenHi Ken,
Our company is developing a AI based system for school bus STOP arm enforcement but to my knowledge it's not available for sale right now. How many do you need?
For a single unit I can make you one that not only records a video of the violation like a dashcam but it also detects the car, detects the license plate and can create a complete set of data for each violation required in court. Like 180 degree buffered video of the violation, cropped image of the car, cropped image of the license plate, time and date, location and so on.
This way everything is fully automated and can be uploaded somewhere on a server or copied to a flash drive at the end of the shift.
Below you can see sample files of how the system could operate.
Let me know what you think.

Excellent. I'll talk to our manager about it and let you know.Thank you for the info I need one as a prototype to demonstrate to our division that it works.

I'd suggest one of the higher resolution dashcams since you will be stopped and presumably normally on a road with low speed limit, so there will be not much motion blur. Something like the Viofo A119 V3 would be good. Maybe an A129 Pro Duo 4K if more money is available, with the dual cameras, the front facing 4K one can read the plates, and the lower resolution "rear" camera can look backwards or aim it at your mirror to actually capture the offence, not much point in having an image of a plate without evidence of an offence. Don't know how you capture that your "red lights" are on, we don't have such things here, like Kamkar, our kids are taught to wait for the bus to depart before crossing the road so that they can clearly see any danger and other road users can clearly see them.I am a school bus driver in Canada and need a dash camera that will accurately read lic.

Thanks for the information I will look into the camera you suggested.

I drive in a urban setting and I take my kids safety serious The drivers here do not take the safety of our young people into account when driving I am trying to find a camera that is capable of reading lic. Plates for prosecution I am not sure there is one that will mount on a buswait until you get on a rural road in the US, with a house every 50 yards, and the bus stopping at each house. Not even enough time to pass the bus when the flashing light is off, and there is always one kid doing .5 mph off the bus, dropping his book bag, going back on the bus for some reason...
I think if you get local TV news media interested, the police get a bit more interested.
