Cutting-Edge School Bus Safety Technology: EyesOnIt Student Ride Verification

EyesOnIt’s student ride verification software is designed to make sure the right students get on and off at the right stops. Our student transportation safety technology helps schools verify boarding and exiting in real time, giving drivers clarity, administrators accountability, and parents peace of mind.

Made specifically for student transportation systems, EyesOnIt reduces mistakes without increasing driver workload, and keeps student data securely under district control.

Discover the EyesOnIt Difference

Drastically Reduce Investigation Time

Turn hours of video review into minutes. Find the exact segment using natural language text descriptions, face recognition or an existing image to pinpoint people and events across archived video from all cameras.

Eliminate False Alarms

Faster investigations mean lower labor costs. EyesOnIt validates motion and behavior so alerts are meaningful and actionable. Fewer false alarms reduce monitoring workload and prevent alarm fatigue while maintaining strong coverage.

Prevent Loss Before It Happens

Identify threats, theft, and safety incidents in real time so your team can respond immediately. Faster response improves apprehension rates, deters repeat offenders, reduces shrink, and minimizes liability.

Lower Total Surveillance Costs

EyesOnIt runs on your existing infrastructure and integrates with your VMS. Avoid hardware vendor lock-in, cloud processing fees, and costly “smart camera” refresh cycles by centralizing analytics on off-the-shelf servers.

Official Genetec Partner

Seamlessly deploy EyesOnIt within your existing Genetec environment and configure advanced video intelligence directly without replacing your VMS or disrupting established workflows.

A Safer, Smarter School Bus Experience with EyesOnIt

EyesOnIt uses bus-mounted cameras and our patent-pending AI technology to verify boarding and exiting events in real time. This approach strengthens student transportation safety while keeping the driver focused on driving.
Here’s how we’re improving school bus safety:

Identify opted-in students as they board and exit

Compare expected vs. actual activity at each stop

Alert the driver only when there is a mismatch in activity

Notify parents when their child boards or exits

Reduce missed stops and wrong drop-offs

Improve student and driver accountability

Lower transportation office call volume

Provide audit-ready event logs for analysis

Why Student Transportation Safety Needs an Upgrade

Traditional school bus monitoring relies on manual headcounts, paper rosters, and radio calls. In busy, high-pressure environments, mistakes happen:

➡️ A student exits at the wrong stop.
➡️ A child misses their assigned stop.
➡️ A parent doesn’t know if their child boarded.
➡️ Dispatch teams spend time investigating avoidable issues.

Modern school bus safety systems must provide real-time verification and clear communication, without disrupting daily operations.

Built for Real-World School Transportation Operations

EyesOnIt works with the tools districts already use, including:

➡️ Student rosters and photos
➡️ Bus assignments and stop data
➡️ Daily route exceptions
➡️ Secure parent communication systems
➡️ Supports offline operation, so verification continues even if cellular connectivity drops

How Our School Bus Monitoring System Works

EyesOnIt is designed to reduce driver workload with thoughtful features. With our Stop Checklist screen, the driver sees a clear summary at every stop:

➡️ Expected students to exit.
➡️ Observed students who exited.
➡️ Any daily exceptions.

Simple status indicators make for a user-friendly experience:

➡️ Green: All students accounted for
➡️ Yellow: Review needed
➡️ Red: Do not depart

If everything is correct, the stop clears automatically. If not, the driver has simple one-tap options to confirm or adjust. This makes EyesOnIt a practical school bus monitoring system, not just another technology layer.

Privacy-First School Bus Technology

Protecting student data is essential. EyesOnIt is built with:

➡️ Opt-in enrollment
➡️ District-controlled servers
➡️ Encrypted data at rest and in transit
➡️ Role-based access controls
➡️ Automatic expiration of temporary ride data
➡️ District-defined retention policies

For the duration of a ride, EyesOnIt may create a temporary ride signature to improve verification even if a student’s face is briefly not visible. This temporary data automatically expires at the end of the route.

The system is built specifically for transportation safety, not general surveillance. All student data remains under district control, supporting responsible deployment of school bus safety technology.

Feature	Description
Multi-Layer Verified Detection	Validates motion events with natural-language descriptions, face recognition, and image similarity, so alerts are accurate and actionable. Fewer false alarms, fewer missed incidents, and less operator fatigue.
Natural-Language Object & Behavior Detection	Describe what matters in plain English (e.g., “loitering near door” or “vehicle enters between 6pm and 6am”) and refine anytime without retraining models. Get custom detections without custom model costs.
Face Recognition with Watchlists	Import galleries, organize watchlists, and receive instant alerts when matches are detected. Strengthen security response and enable verified access workflows without increased staffing overhead.
AI Video Search (Live & Archived)	Instantly search live and recorded video feeds using text descriptions, face recognition or image uploads. Find people, objects, and events in seconds, turning hours of manual review into minutes.
Automated Event Workflows	Trigger lights, alarms, intercoms, notifications, or downstream systems when a verified visual event occurs. Improve response speed, consistency, and operational efficiency.
Reporting & Analytics	Generate searchable timelines, export event clips, and track detection trends across cameras and locations. Gain measurable insight while simplifying investigations and internal reporting.
On-Site Processing	Keep video and identity data on your network, eliminating cloud latency and per-event processing fees while maintaining real-time performance and stronger data control.
Open, Hardware-Agnostic Architecture	Works with existing cameras, RTSP streams, and your current VMS. Runs on standard servers with no proprietary lock-in, so you can scale affordably without rip-and-replace upgrades.
