At Shel-Bar, the belief is that railroads do not require another proprietary camera system. They require a solution they can trust.


ImpactEye™ was developed around a carefully curated ecosystem of industry-leading technologies. These technologies were selected for their reliability, performance, and long-term support in demanding rail environments.


Rather than manufacturing every component independently, Shel-Bar partners with organizations that are leaders in their respective fields. This strategy integrates those technologies into a single, purpose-built platform. Railroads benefit from proven technologies while avoiding the risks associated with unproven or proprietary alternatives. The best solution is not necessarily built by one company; it is created by bringing together the best technologies available.


Powered By Industry Leaders


At the core of ImpactEye™ is a collection of technologies trusted throughout critical infrastructure, transportation, and enterprise security environments.


Axis Communications


ImpactEye™ utilizes industry-leading Axis network cameras. These cameras are recognized globally for their image quality, reliability, cybersecurity standards, and long-term product support. They provide the visual foundation of the ImpactEye™ ecosystem, delivering the clarity required for investigations, operational review, and situational awareness.


Wavestore


Video is only as valuable as the platform managing it. ImpactEye™ is powered by Wavestore's advanced video management and recording technology. Shel-Bar has collaborated closely with Wavestore to develop an onboard event capture interface tailored for the rail industry.


Wavestore provides the engine behind the ecosystem. It delivers high-quality video recording, advanced compression, efficient storage utilization, synchronized burnt-in metadata capabilities, evidence management, and secure export functionality. The result is clearer video, improved retention, and greater confidence during investigations.



The Shel-Bar Difference


Technology alone does not solve problems. Integration does.


The true value of ImpactEye™ arises from Shel-Bar's ability to engineer these technologies into a complete operational solution. The team works directly with railroads to understand operational requirements, locomotive configurations, investigation workflows, data retention needs, network infrastructure, and long-term operational objectives.


From this understanding, Shel-Bar designs, integrates, commissions, and supports a solution tailored specifically to the environment. Every deployment is engineered with the goal of delivering a reliable, maintainable, and scalable platform that continues to provide value long after installation is complete.
