Contract

The contracted product is from VerifEye Aust. Pty Ltd*. This is their next-generation product based on sound longstanding technology—Queensland is the first area in the world to have this product.

The contract is for the supply and installation of a Taxi Security Camera System (TSCS) in Queensland taxis and image download equipment. The Queensland Government is purchasing the Taxi Security Camera System for taxi licence holders.

Note:

Why was VerifEye chosen?

An evaluation team made up of taxi industry representatives, government representatives and Queensland Police Service forensic analysts evaluated all offers. VerifEye met the objectives of the project including the best mix of price, product and service with a technically superior product with superior image quality and clarity. We wanted the best product to protect taxi drivers and passengers. After all, the extra quality might make all the difference when trying to get a court conviction.

What does it cost?

The system costs:

  • Over A$1 million in program management of the rollout.
  • Over A$1 million in services are provided back to installers of the communication equipment.
  • Over A$400 000 in upskilling, training, and support to taxi operators, download operators and taxi drivers.
  • Over A$700 000 in project costs during the rollout phase.
  • Over A$300 000 a year in support and services for the next five years. 

    • Benefits for Queensland

    The social and economic value to Queensland will be substantial—an estimated 50 per cent to 60 per cent decrease in crimes against taxi drivers and their property.
