Managing a vehicle fleet can be a complicated task, which requires fleet managers to monitor numerous vehicles simultaneously and make important decisions in real time.
Managers must also deal with common problems which can cost a fleet time and money, such as bogus insurance claims being filed against managers who find themselves unable to prove what really happened on the road.
If you are a fleet manager, vehicle CCTV is an innovation which can make your life easier and ensure that you can keep an eye on your fleet at all times using integrated video telematics technology.
What is Vehicle CCTV?
A vehicle CCTV system is one which uses an in-vehicle camera setup to provide fleet managers with the ability to view video footage from all of their vehicles in real time.
By installing a multi-camera system within a vehicle and integrating that video connection with your telematics system, a vehicle CCTV setup can automatically stream, record and store video. This video footage offers clarity and insight into how your fleet is operating, as well as providing video evidence of any on-road incidents and keeping your drivers safe.
Here, we discuss three of the major benefits that vehicle CCTV can offer your vehicle fleet.
Provide Concrete Video Evidence of On-road Incidents
In the event where there is a dispute involving a delivery or an accident on the road, vehicle CCTV can provide you indisputable evidence of what really happened. A multi-cam setup gives extensive video coverage around the vehicle in question, meaning that you can eliminate bogus insurance claims by easily proving which party was at fault.
The importance of having video evidence available in the event of an accident was highlighted by a recent study which found that in 80 per cent of all serious crashes involving cars and trucks, it was in fact the car driver who was at fault.
This process of providing video evidence can be streamlined further, as integrating your vehicle cameras with our OKORIS EVIDENCE centre also means that our AI-assisted technology will automatically record any incidents which occur and then immediately send them to you for evaluation.
Monitor Driver Behaviour to Increase Driver Safety
A vehicle CCTV setup can include cameras which monitor driver behaviour, helping encourage positive driving habits and reducing the likelihood of accidents.
When integrated into a telematics system, driver cams allow fleet managers to be automatically notified about incidents such as harsh braking, speeding or cornering by drivers. Fleet managers can then review video footage of the event, determine who was in the wrong, and correct their driver’s behaviour if necessary.
Drivers can also be set up with a monitor which allows them to view live footage from the various cameras, allowing them to see blind spots and know exactly what is happening around them on the road at all times.
Make Informed Decisions In Real Time
One of the key advantages of being able to access live video feeds from vehicles is that fleet managers are able to make informed decisions with complete situational context.
If an issue arises such as a driver needing to know where exactly to leave a delivery on site, a fleet manager can simply pull up a live video feed from the truck and let the driver know what to do.
Live video from vehicle CCTV also gives fleet managers the ability to be instantly informed as to any incidents or accidents that have occured on the road, as well as to easily access automatically-recorded videos of the incident which provide the manager with clarity about what has happened and what the driver needs to be instructed to do.
