At times, the students don't even care that the cameras are there. You remind them that they are being video recorded and you can show their parent/teacher/principal/etc the video of their behavior. It stops some behavior, but they get right back at it after a little bit. It depends on the consequences (ie removed off bus, loss of play ground time, etc). You can have the most the expensive system and catch EVERYTHING, but if there are no consequences for the students, it won't mean anything.
Parents, who see the video, do not look at their child, but look at what the other students are doing and try to divert attention to them. Why are you disciplining my child when that child is also standing....is how some conversations go. Not all, but it happens.
As for the drivers, if you are doing your job properly as you have been trained by your district/employer, then there should be no fear of the camera.

When we install new surveillance systems we advocate sending a notice to students, parents, drivers and faculty explaining the systems purpose is for everyones protection. Most students understand the consequences of bad behavior and if they are reminded the cameras are present they behave better.
I have found thak it dose in our district the kids are more respectfull if they know you can show there parnet what they do on the bus.
Children are children...I'm not worried about their behavior as much as I am the driver! Sadly, the driver's behavior doesn't change at all.
