At Shel-Bar, we don't believe railroads need another proprietary camera system.
They need a solution they can trust.
That's why ImpactEye™ was built around a carefully curated ecosystem of industry-leading technologies, selected for reliability, performance, and long-term support in demanding rail environments.
Rather than manufacturing every component ourselves, we partner with organizations that are already leaders in their respective fields and integrate those technologies into a single, purpose-built platform. This approach allows railroads to benefit from proven technologies while avoiding the risks often associated with unproven or proprietary alternatives.
Because the best solution isn't necessarily built by one company.
It's built by bringing together the best technologies available.
Powered By Industry Leaders
At the heart 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, recognized globally for their image quality, reliability, cybersecurity standards, and long-term product support.
These cameras 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.
That's why ImpactEye™ is powered by Wavestore's advanced video management and recording technology. Shel-Bar has worked closely with Wavestore to develop an Onboard event capture interface to push out to the rail industry.
Wavestore provides the engine behind the ecosystem, delivering 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 doesn't solve problems.
Integration does.
The true value of ImpactEye™ comes from Shel-Bar's ability to engineer these technologies into a complete operational solution.
Our team works directly with railroads to understand operational requirements, locomotive configurations, investigation workflows, data retention needs, network infrastructure, and long-term operational objectives.
From there, we design, integrate, commission, and support 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.
More Than A Vendor. A Long-Term Partner.
Many organizations can supply hardware.
Far fewer can design an ecosystem.
ImpactEye™ represents decades of experience in critical infrastructure, transportation technology, video systems, networking, and systems integration.
From initial design and engineering through installation, training, support, and future expansion, Shel-Bar remains involved throughout the lifecycle of the system.
Because successful onboard event capture isn't about installing cameras.
It's about delivering a solution that works when it matters most.
