AI-Driven Bus Surveillance with Instant Access

School Bus Camera Systems 6

Fortivo Mini (School Bus Security System) is built for school buses, analyzing each onboard camera feed in real time. It detects critical events like bullying, unauthorized entry, or stop-arm violations during the ride.

Each incident is tagged with the time, location, and event type, then synced to the cloud when the bus reconnects to Wi-Fi.


School staff get instant access to the right footage without digging through hours of video or relying on NVR downloads. Fortivo Mini helps schools respond faster and stay informed, without adding to the driver or admin workload.

Modern Threats Need Smarter Systems

Face Recognition for Better Accountability

Fortivo’s facial recognition technology helps schools improve safety by accurately identifying students and tracking activity across bus rides. It connects faces to specific incidents, allowing staff to quickly match passengers to reports, verify who boarded or exited at each stop, and confirm who was present during a fight, altercation, or stop-arm violation.

This feature is especially useful in resolving disputes, investigating repeat offenses, or responding to parent concerns. By providing time-stamped visual confirmation tied to individual identities, Fortivo ensures schools have clear, reliable evidence to support disciplinary actions or safety reviews.
