Bus & Coach CCTV: A 20-Year Success Story

For over two decades, our company has been at the forefront of mobile CCTV solutions, specifically catering to the unique demands of the bus and coach industry. Since our inception in 1997, we have proudly fitted thousands of CCTV systems onto a vast array of vehicles, from nimble single-deck buses to robust double-deckers and long-haul coaches. Our extensive experience has positioned us as one of the most established and trusted suppliers in the UK, serving a diverse clientele of over 500 private sector customers.

The Importance of CCTV in Public Transport

In today's world, the safety and security of passengers are paramount. Public transportation, by its very nature, involves carrying large numbers of people in shared spaces. This creates a responsibility for operators to implement robust measures that not only deter illicit activities but also provide a vital record in the unfortunate event of an incident. CCTV systems play a crucial role in achieving these objectives. They act as a powerful deterrent against vandalism, anti-social behaviour, and other criminal acts. Furthermore, the footage captured by these systems can be invaluable for accident investigations, dispute resolution, and identifying perpetrators, ultimately contributing to a safer and more secure travel experience for everyone.

Our Extensive Experience and Expertise

Our journey began in 1997 with a clear vision: to provide reliable and effective mobile CCTV solutions for the bus and coach sector. Over the past 20 years, we have honed our skills and developed a deep understanding of the specific challenges and requirements of this industry. We have fitted CCTV systems to thousands of vehicles, gaining invaluable insights into the optimal placement of cameras, the types of equipment best suited for mobile environments, and the most efficient installation processes. Our team of highly skilled technicians are experts in their field, ensuring that every installation is carried out to the highest standards, with minimal disruption to your operations.

Tailored Solutions for Every Vehicle

We understand that not all passenger-carrying vehicles are the same. Each type of bus and coach has its own unique layout, operational needs, and potential security concerns. That's why our approach is always to provide tailored solutions that meet your particular needs. Whether you operate a fleet of city buses, intercity coaches, or private hire vehicles, we have the expertise to design and install a CCTV system that offers comprehensive coverage and addresses your specific requirements. Our systems are designed to be adaptable and scalable, ensuring that they can grow with your fleet and evolve with changing security demands.

Installation Services: On-Site and Manufacturer Liaison

Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends to our installation process. We offer flexible installation services to accommodate your operational schedule and vehicle availability. For existing vehicles in your fleet, our technicians can conduct installations at your premises. This convenient service minimises downtime and allows your vehicles to return to service quickly. In the case of new build vehicles, we go the extra mile by liaising directly with manufacturers and distributors, both domestically and internationally. This ensures that CCTV systems are seamlessly integrated into your new vehicles prior to delivery, saving you time and resources and guaranteeing a professional, factory-standard installation.

Investing in our CCTV systems offers a multitude of benefits for bus and coach operators:
