With tariffs, trade wars and concerns over technology, Safe Fleet has seen an increased level of interest from customers on the topic of video technology country of origin and in particular, those products that are sourced specifically from China.
Safe Fleet has been diversifying away from sourcing products from China for some time. In fact, we currently have a full suite of solution offerings delivering the full breadth of hybrid and networked video surveillance with an extensive range of cameras to cover off the complete gamut of transit requirements for customers looking to avoid Chinese suppliers.
Safe Fleet develops its own suite of software solutions including video playback, video management wireless archiving, video streaming, fleet tracking, maintenance, route optimization, navigation, and driver performance. Our in-house capabilities include AI-assisted workflows such as face redaction for privacy. As a result, Safe Fleet is one of the very few suppliers that does not require customers to use Chinese software for tasks such as video management or playback. Control over our software provides stability and continuity for our customers as they pivot away from Chinese hardware without having to disrupt or redesign their existing workflows.
The machine learning and Artificial Intelligence capabilities in our Smart Safety products are similarly unique to Safe Fleet. None of our Smart Safety products are sourced from China.
For large, sophisticated Transit projects, Safe Fleet recommends our C3 Series of 3MP IP cameras working with the NH16 NVR, which supports up to 16 cameras per bus. For smaller vehicles or projects, up to 12 channels of 1080p video can be provided by our TH Series DVRs and HD3 cameras. These products and designs are exclusive to Safe Fleet. None of these systems are produced in China.
Safe Fleet continues to move away from Chinese suppliers at both the accessory and component level. We also continue to innovate and develop new features, functionality, and technology to help you reduce preventable accidents, mitigate risk and increase transit safety.
