Serious cctv on a work truck

[Firefighter]

So, I'm not happy with what I've found online for vehicle cctv systems....
So why not install a residential cctv system in the truck? I don't know, maybe it's ridiculous, maybe it's possible.

This is for a work truck and I'm just throwing ideas around and want to see what yall think.

I thought maybe just like a house and have them cross. Or, 3 stacked. One front one back and one straight out.

I'd be looking for the smallest possible cams and have several deep cycle batteries for this with a kusmal charging system.

I am liking the idea maybe dome cameras with IP67 Rating and a low power consumption NVR/XVR and a UPS System. Wireless camera can work as well and battery operated/solar powered Camera. One concern is probably with the scenery always changing, camera performance and quality might deteriorate as it is not a still placement and might give unusable recordings.

For what purpose?
Just as car cam type replacement?

i drove behind a truck yesterday that had a camera on the back that looked like this one (but could have been a different model)

IPC-HDBW2431F-AS-S2 - Dahua Oceania

Presumably they're using it as a reversing camera or just as a car cam in general.

The forward Adaptive cruise/ collision mitigation LDW camera...Is called " wingman' on the dash...if it gets blinded by the setting Sun...it flashes an alert. " Wingman Blind...yada yada yada....
MCI j 4500 buses. I was trying to google a good image for ya....but not seeing anything great as an example...

Ok heres my bus...but I wasn't taking photos to show the cams...they're just random Pre-trip photos.....with lucky captures of the cams....Not sure where to source them.

For use when driving, backing up, etc. or for surveillance use like when parked (to be recorded)?

More for driving, dash cam on steroids. But I won't be actively viewing them. I'll install a back up camera as needed. This is just an elite version of dash cam basically. It's a small investment worth protecting my vehicle and business against a false fraud insurance incident where I'm not at fault.

Maybe something like this ran to a basic 8ch dvr. These aren't ip. But for a 360 dash cam system it should be fine.

Dahua makes mobile recorders and cameras just for this purpose both IP and HDCVI...I dont have any experience using them..
There is an option for records and cameras under these links...In theory the HDcvi should have much lower latency if you every wanted to use it to live monitor while you are driving...

I'm pretty sure cameras made specifically for mobile purposes do not have a mechanical IR cut filter. Using standard type cameras may result in early failure of that part due to vibration.

The MCI coaches have 3 interior cameras as well. They appear to be like Mini-Turrets. like 1/2 or 1/3rd the size of a typical 5442 Turret....they get jostled around....all day...I see they they have a ring of what appear to be IR lights around the lens.
I'd really like to know who provides them to the Bus and/or School Bus Industry......

I'm out on the dahua, used 500 and new more than that.
This will end up being a cheap system that works when driving. Which, ultimately is the goal so I guess it's good enough. I'd love parking protection but I don't know what the cameras would pull from the batteries solely.

This system here looks promising. A mobile dvr with a real hdd inside it....
