New VerifEye “G5” TaxiCams score immediate results in Milwaukee
American United Taxicab is the largest taxi company in Wisconsin, and now they can boast of being one of the safest as well. In March of 2010, the company began installing the latest G5 TaxiCams in their cabs; on 3 April 2010, an American United taxi driver was robbed at gunpoint. Milwaukee police immediately downloaded pictures of the crime from the driver’s camera and, due to the clarity of the images, an arrest was made within a few hours. The suspect confessed and implicated a number of accomplices as well as confessing to a number of previous crimes targeting taxi drivers.
The G5 cameras boast the same high standards of image quality that earlier generations of VerifEye cameras have become famous for, but in a smaller camera housing. The basic G5 cameras are ideal for taxi and limousine applications. Optional integrated g-force sensors and high fidelity microphones are available for the G5 cameras and these are typically specified for courier fleets, school buses and police vehicles. There are now more than 20 North American, European and Australian cities that are equipped with G5 cameras.
As of December 2009, VerifEye had sold over 74,000 TaxiCam systems to taxis, limousines, shuttles and paratransit vehicles around the world. In addition to taxis, VerifEye sells cameras and CCTV systems for other land transportation and mobile applications such as courier fleets, armored cars, school buses, transit buses and trains, as well as to government agencies, such as police, other law enforcement, ambulance and fire services.
