End of VerifEye camera systems

On 31 July 2025 we discovered that the licence key for our software required to download the VerifEye camera systems has expired. We had no warning of this. The company that supplied and administered the system was in Canada and has been dissolved for some time.

Therefore we can no longer download any VerifEye cameras and we no longer recognise these systems as an acceptable taxi camera system.

We believe that there are between 160-180 VerifEye camera systems installed in Southampton vehicles. These systems will need changing. We are working on a plan of how to go about administering this with the least disruption to drivers and the minimum impact on safety. In the worst case, it will take a year for us to deal with at renewal.

Do note that this does not affect any other camera system, and the similarly named VehicleEye system is still approved and is unaffected by this.
