See Transit Security Smarter with Connected Video

Public transportation agencies face a complex challenge: protecting passengers and operators while managing vehicles, maintaining reliable service, and responding efficiently when incidents occur. As fleets expand and technology evolves, the ability to capture video is only part of the equation. What matters increasingly is how quickly and effectively agencies can access and use that information.

For IDIS Americas, the answer begins with a customer-focused approach to connected video technology.

Following APTA TRANSform & EXPO 2026, IDIS Americas continues to advance its message to the transit industry: See Security Smarter. Through integrated mobile video, intelligent monitoring, and technologies designed around actual transit operations, IDIS is helping agencies rethink how video supports safety, security, and fleet management.

Connecting Video to Operational Needs

Traditional onboard video systems provide valuable evidence, but accessing that footage can create additional work for transit personnel.

Depending on the infrastructure, retrieving video may require physical access to vehicles, manual downloads, and coordination between departments. These steps can consume time when agencies need information quickly.

IDIS SmartConnect addresses the need for a more connected approach to managing mobile video. By supporting video retrieval workflows between vehicles and agency infrastructure, SmartConnect helps agencies move toward more efficient access to recorded information.

For transit operations, this is about more than convenience. Simplifying video retrieval can help personnel spend less time managing the process and more time reviewing the information needed to support investigations and operational decisions.

Greater Awareness Around Every Vehicle

Connected video is only one part of a smarter transit security strategy.

Operators also need visibility into areas surrounding their vehicles, particularly when maneuvering in congested terminals, navigating tight spaces, or operating near pedestrians and other vehicles.

IDIS Surround360 uses multiple exterior cameras and true 3D surround-view technology to provide a comprehensive view around the vehicle. With Full HD imaging, integrated recording, and flexible camera configurations, Surround360 is designed to enhance situational awareness and help operators better understand their immediate surroundings.

Combined with onboard recording technologies, this approach expands the value of video beyond traditional incident documentation.

Real-World Transit Applications: Connect

The value of a transit video solution becomes especially clear when technology is designed around an agency’s operational requirements.

Cache Valley Transit District, operating as Connect in Logan, Utah, provides an example of this customer-driven approach.

Serving communities through a diverse transit fleet, Connect worked with IDIS Americas to implement a customized onboard video solution featuring IDIS I-Mobile 4K recording technology and Surround360.

The project focused on establishing a more consistent approach to onboard video across different vehicle types while supporting the agency’s commitment to passenger safety, operational visibility, and reliable public transportation.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all system, IDIS worked to address Connect’s fleet requirements and develop a solution suited to its operation.

The resulting deployment illustrates an important principle: effective transit technology begins with understanding the agency, its vehicles, and the people who depend on its services.

Building for What’s Next

Transit agencies are making technology decisions today that will influence operations for years to come.

As video requirements evolve, agencies need solutions that can accommodate different vehicle configurations, support high-resolution recording, and provide practical options for managing information across their fleets.

The IDIS I-Mobile 4K platform, Surround360, and SmartConnect reflect a broader strategy of bringing complementary technologies together rather than treating each component as an isolated investment.

Equally important is the partnership behind the technology. Understanding customer challenges, planning around existing infrastructure, and supporting agencies as their requirements change remain central to the IDIS Americas approach.
