NYC MTA Equips Metro Buses with Security Cameras

According to silive.com and wsj.com the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority is gearing up for an area wide surveillance project to install security cameras on a fleet of 400 citywide buses.

Equipment cost: Roughly $18,000 per bus (wow!) No doubt they are using IP Cameras comparable to Axis M3113-R or the HD Ready version Axis M3114-R network cameras built for video surveillance in moving vehicles.

It's likely many large cities will follow suit with network cameras in buses, subways, lightrail and other modes of public transportation to protect drivers and riders alike from criminal activity.
