Taxi CCTV Systems

Motacam Taxi CCTV Ltd mainly specialise in the manufacture, supply, and installation of taxi CCTV systems to the licenced Hackney carriage and private hire industry. Our aim is to become one of the leading suppliers of systems and accessories throughout the UK for Local Authorities, taxi, and private hire companies.

A minimum standard, system specification was produced, and together with various government bodies, such as the Information Commissioners Office, The Surveillance Camera Commissioner and the Home Secretary, strict regulations as to the type, use and handling of taxi CCTV systems and recorded data were introduced.

Motacam’s range of taxi CCTV systems not only meet these requirements but, in most cases, exceed them. We strive to ensure that all systems are secure from tampering, and installed not only for the driver’s safety, but also for the passengers.

All cameras installed, must be unobtrusive and be able to catch all occupants faces clearly during the day or at night during complete darkness, so must incorporate low light, Infra-Red with wide angled lenses (not fishbowl lens)

Our own branded unit consists of the latest 1080P, 4 channel, Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR) motherboard, fitted within our own specifically designed, and branded, lockable, security case, manufactured using marine grade steel, and is epoxy powder coated to give a long lasting, clean finish.

Each MDVR 4 x 4 pin aviation video connections, 1 x audio in/out RCA connection, 1 x HDMI and 1 x SVGA Connection with aviation connection, 1 Ethernet port and 1 x USB port and 1 x power supply socket. Also 1 x GPS, 1 x Wi-Fi and 1 x 3G/4G antenna connections and antennas

Each system supports up to 4TB SSD Hard disk drive, 1 x 512GB SD card and Mobile Data Sim card.

Digital Signage

Our Featured Products

The 4G mobile, Wi-Fi, and GPS routers – uses a mobile SIM card, this allows the data controller live remote viewing within the vehicle, with complete wireless download/upload connection from any location worldwide.

Recorded footage can include location tracking, vehicle speed, as well as time, date and vehicle stamping as evidence, should the need arise. Drivers can also offer passengers free in-car WIFI connectivity as a selling point.

Our CCTV MDVR system can be used as an additional security system to the vehicles own manufacturers security. We can delay the MDVR shutdown to allow system to keep recording continually for up to 4 hours after engine shut down. This enables the system to catch potential thieves, vandals, or accidents in the act.

Under current regulations, constant audio recording isn’t allowed as this infringes a person’s right to privacy, however, timed panic button microphones allow passengers or drivers to activate the audio recording to match up with video footage, which acts as secondary evidence to vocal incidents such as abuse and racism. It would also be deemed unlawful, unfair, and excessive under data protection legislation and a breach of “Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998.” Having a timed microphone panic button for both driver and passengers, together with appropriate signage for passenger’s attention, allows the use of recordings as both parties are fully aware that in any serious incident, they both have the right to activate this operation.

As well as the MDVR system incorporating a 2-stage encryption log on, we can also provide a fully military grade encrypted SSD hard drive to add another higher layer of security to what could be, extremely sensitive recorded footage. Encryption level is to FIPS 140-2. (The FIPS 140-2 standard is an information technology security approval program for cryptographic modules produced by private sector vendors who seek to have their products certified for use in government departments and regulated industries (such as financial and health-care institutions) that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information.)

Dashcams and rear-view mirror cameras

1. Taxi CCTV

Cab drivers have been using taxi cctv cameras to catch thieves and criminals for years now. These cameras are installed inside the cab and help the driver keep track of what’s happening inside the vehicle at any given time. Once the camera detects movement, the system automatically alerts the driver and they can take action accordingly.

2. Cab Cameras

There are many different types of cab cameras out there. Some are fixed while others are portable and mountable. There are dash mounted cameras and overhead mounted cameras. Some even provide both views simultaneously.

3. CCTVs In Cars

CCTVs in cars are becoming increasingly popular. However, these systems vary depending on their location. Dash-mounted cctvs are often used in taxis and other vehicles where the passenger seat faces forward. Overhead mounted cctvs are commonly used in vans and trucks where the camera is mounted above the dashboard.

4. Black Boxes

Black boxes are devices that record everything that happens inside the car. They can store footage for up to 30 days and allow the police to view everything that happened before the accident.

5. Driver Monitoring Devices

Driver monitoring devices are used to monitor the driving habits of the driver. They can notify the company if the driver is falling asleep behind the wheel. If the device detects an unsafe situation, it can alert the authorities immediately.

6. Video Recorders

Video recorders are used to capture video footage of events that happen outside the vehicle. Many people use them for surveillance purposes.

7. Hidden Security Systems

Security systems are getting smaller and smaller. Nowadays, you don’t need a bulky security system to protect your home. You can get small concealed security systems that look just like regular smoke detectors. They work by sending a signal to the alarm panel whenever motion is detected.
