San Francisco, Calif.—Planet Halo introduced its production model PH4 vehicle recorder in early 2013, a unique device that incorporates two high-resolution camera lenses, a GPS module, audio recorder, G-force inertial sensor, audio speaker, and mini-DVR with SD card. The device’s mounting bracket incorporates input jacks for the included external cameras, a remote video monitor, USB connectivity, and the power connection.
Designed specifically for commercial fleet vehicles, the PH4 captures video over the entire interior length of the passenger compartment and views from the driver’s perspective towards the front of the vehicle. The external cameras are designed to mount on the side of the vehicle, which are teardrop-shaped, 2” long, and weatherproof. A universal camera, the PH square, can be affixed for a variety of purposes including use as a backup camera or recording for inside the passenger compartment.
The software included in the PH4 records and compiles crisp clear video data from all four cameras, continuous GPS positioning, speed, G-force data, and programmed or triggered events and displays them all on a user friendly viewer. Management can now track their vehicle routes, speeds, stops and starts, driver and passenger behavior while viewing the actual video events as they occurred in 720p, with night vision and variable bit rate recording capabilities.
The PH4 is the only fully contained multi-channel recorder on the market. No need for separate DVRs with cabled in cameras, external power supplies, separate GPS tracking devices or custom reporting software to compile your data. There are no recurring monitoring fees, and customers own and control 100 percent of their video and data.

Dear Industry Friends, Clients, and Partners,
I would like to personally inform you that on Friday, January 3, 2014, I have resigned from my position as the general sales manager of Don Brown Bus Sales. This mutual separation is fully amicable and designed to guarantee the future success of both parties. My departure will allow me to pursue new opportunities within the industry to ensure the positive growth and advancement of my career in serving your needs. There will be a transition period of consulting for Don Brown Bus Sales to ensure the well-being of our clients and partners. As I move forward, I will be working closely with DBBS and consulting for them to ensure that you receive the same level of customer service you have grown accustom to.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my genuine gratitude to DBBS and thank Mark and Eric Sebast, as I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they provided to me. The personal and career growth and development experience they allowed was a rare experience that I hold in very high regard. The brand, relationships, and customer loyalty that we were able to build in a short time is a testament to our commitment to the industry.
“Having the opportunity to work with AJ over the past four years has been a true pleasure. He is one of those rare individuals who truly cares about the success and well-being of all of his clients, and that shows in both the amount of his time that he dedicated to them as well as the personal friendships that have developed because of it. AJ's departure is not without sadness, but I know he will be successful whatever path that he chooses, and I look forward to watching him continue on in his journey,” says Eric Sebast, vice president of Don Brown Bus Sales.
“We have had the privilege to enter an industry together, to build relationships and products that are second to none. Together we developed our manufacturing and dealer support network—a winning combination that we will continue as we go forward. We wish AJ all the very best as he continues his career,” says Mark J. Sebast, president of Don Brown Bus Sales.
I would also like to thank you for your support over this time and ensure that you will be in good hands with DBBS in the future. I have been able to establish priceless relationships and friendships that will last a lifetime. I look forward to serving our industry for many years to come and continuing to give back to all of you who have supported DBBS and myself and made all of our success possible. Details of my transitions are still being finalized, and more information will follow shortly.
