Safety Vision, LLC Announces Installation of Its Mobile Video Surveillance System in 105 Buses for Golden Empire Transit District (GETD)


Safety Vision, LLC recently completed an $868,587 contract to install on-board video surveillance systems for the Golden Empire Transit District (GETD) in Bakersfield, California. A total of 86 fixed route buses and 19 paratransit buses were retrofitted. Several major competitors were bypassed, providing Safety Vision with the winning bid.

The GETD will be using Safety Vision's Observer™ 4112 and the Observer 4120 hybrid video recorder (HVR) systems to provide video and audio surveillance over public transportation options. These hybrid recorders allow the user to incorporate oth analog and high resolution IP cameras into the same system in order to conserve hard drive storage space. In addition to the Observer 4112 and the Observer 4120 HVRs, GETD purchased the complimentary Foresight PRO viewing software and Automatic Download System (ADS). Safety Vision also provided the GETD with wireless downloading equipment.



The Golden Empire Transit District was established in 1973 and provides fixed route and paratransit service for the Bakersfield Metropolitan area. The District operates 16 bus routes, 7 days a week, with approximately 7 million annual boardings. GETD has an active fleet of 86 fixed route low floor transit buses plus 19 paratransit vehicles. All buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts and bike racks.
