Cobra, a leader in the provision of security, safety and
telematics solutions for the automotive, commercial vehicle and
passenger transport industries premiered its Global Live CCTV
monitoring security system at Coach and Bus Live Expo at the NEC
last week.
Cobra gave 6,250 coach and bus industry professionals attending
the show an opportunity to see the first ever live demo of the
ground breaking new real time CCTV system, which allows coach and
bus operators to protect their vehicles, passengers and drivers,
and safeguard their reputation.
A significant number of industry professionals received a Global
Live demo of the new system on the Cobra stand over the two days,
educating the showgoers in the financial, security and safety
benefits of adopting the new service.
Real-time images from cameras mounted in and around the vehicle,
streamed to an Independent Monitoring Centre, coupled with inbuilt
two way voice communication with the driver, can enable bus
operators to deal with a situation as it happens. Immediate,
accurate on site intelligence can enable better response decisions
to be made. Forward facing cameras can also be installed to monitor
driving standards and to provide footage, which can be used as
evidence in court in the event of an accident, helping to guard
against an increasing tendency of fraudulent third party
claims.
Behind the scenes, highly trained personnel at the Independent
Monitoring Centre can follow events in real time and provide
footage for later review. Inbuilt GPS technology gives the added
benefit of providing pinpoint location of a vehicle at any
time.
"The people we spoke to confirmed there is a real need for a
system like Global Live in this sector. We generated some very
positive leads from the show and are excited about the future
prospects of Global Live!" said Andrew Smith, Managing Director,
Cobra UK.
"This unique live CCTV system coupled with independent
monitoring enhances our commitment to improving the safety and
security of drivers and their passengers, and could also help bus
operators negotiate significant insurance discounts as they lower
the risk profile of their vehicles. Global Live is equally suitable
for protecting high value HGV loads which are frequently targeted
by organised thieves when parked at night or intercepted just prior
to the point of delivery. Global Live also provides a solution for
monitoring and protecting remote or unmanned sites, such as storage
depots."
Cobra's Global Live system is a bespoke solution. The number and
position of cameras can be tailored to the needs of individual
customers and can be further personalised with the enhancement of
personal attack buttons for drivers and enhanced infra red
cameras.
