SCHOOL BUS DIGITAL SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM Request for Information Only - DO NOT SEND PROPOSAL: Closes 11 Aug 03. The Department of Defense Dependent Schools Pacific (DoDDS-P) Procurement Division located in Okinawa Japan is issuing a request for information (RFI) seeking sources and product information for a digital surveillance system (video & audio) for possible use in approximately 250 school buses. We are looking for sources that can offer an "off the self" commercial solution with installation capabilities. The system will be installed on buses manufactured/operated in Japan and Korea. The proposed system must work off of a 24 volt system. Even though the interior of the buses have A/C and heating, the operation of the buses will be in extreme cold/hot humid climates. The purpose is to increase safety/security and to deter inappropriate behavior occurring on and around school buses that transport elementary/middle/high school students in Okinawa, mainland Japan, and South Korea. The system must not be intrusive or complicate to operate. Installation requirements should not be extensive. The system must be able to record real time images and sound for an extensive amount time, auto-rewind, and continue to record without operator assistance. As part of the system, DoDDS-Procurement is seeking a solution to easily transfer the data from the bus to a viewing device and then send short video/audio clips via e-mail to the appropriate authorities.
