A Safer Public Transport Experience

Across cities worldwide, passengers increasingly feel unsafe when travelling by public transport. Incidents, disorder and delayed response times reduce trust — and when trust declines, ridership follows.

Observit addresses this challenge by bringing real-time video directly from vehicles into central monitoring and alarm centers, enabling faster response, better situational awareness and a visible commitment to passenger safety.

This is safety enabled by technology — not more hardware, not more complexity.

When Passengers Feel Unsafe, Ridership Drops

For passengers, safety is not only about statistics. It’s about knowing that help is close, that incidents are taken seriously, and that someone is watching over the journey.

Traditional onboard CCTV systems are passive by design. Video is reviewed after the fact — often too late to prevent escalation or support drivers and passengers when it matters most.

Observit enables real-time video streaming directly from vehicles, fully integrated into central alarm and monitoring environments — without using any onboard recorders (NVRs).

Why Observit Makes Public Transport Safer

Real-time video from vehicles — built for public transport

Live video is optimized for mobile, low-bandwidth environments, ensuring reliable real-time visibility from buses and trams while minimizing data usage and network impact.

Integrated into central alarm & monitoring centers

Real-time video from vehicles is available directly in Milestone XProtect or through Observit Guardian, enabling instant alarm verification, faster response and coordinated action — all from the systems operators already use.

Easy to retrieve video

Whether your busy fleet has thousands of buses full of important passengers, hundreds of lorries and vans transporting vital cargo, ferry boats, cars, taxis or more, Observit has the solution you need.

Faster response, less escalation

Seeing incidents as they happen helps prevent situations from escalating, improves coordination with security or emergency services, and protects both passengers and staff.

Higher passenger trust and increased ridership

Visible, active safety technology builds confidence in public transport, making it a more attractive alternative to private travel.

No onboard recorders or extra hardware

Built on intelligent edge cameras, eliminating NVRs reduces failure points, installation time, and maintenance costs — while increasing system reliability.

Actively Increasing Passenger Safety

Vehicles become part of the same operational safety environment as depots, stations and control rooms. Real-time video from moving vehicles appears where operators already work — in central alarm and monitoring stations.

This makes advanced safety capabilities accessible without large infrastructure projects or long deployment cycles.

Response times are reduced
Situations are less likely to escalate
Drivers feel supported
Passengers feel safer

From Passive CCTV to Active Safety

Observit’s unique, recorder-free architecture enables transport operators to use modern video technology as a tool for safety, not just surveillance.

By integrating real-time video from vehicles into central monitoring operations, Observit helps cities and operators take a clear, visible step toward safer, more trusted public transport — for everyone on board.
