Enhanced Employee Safety

Dash cams can contribute to safer driving and the safety of drivers overall. If drivers know they’re being recorded, they may drive more safely. Safer driving leads to fewer accidents overall.

If there’s an accident, you may be able to locate a driver based on the location of the dash cam. This allows you to send help quickly.

Easy Evidence Collection

Dash cams provide an easy method for evidence collection. If an accident occurs, the truck is stolen and found again, or there’s a dispute, the dash cam can establish what actually happened.

This is also helpful for insurance companies. You can turn the footage over to help your insurance company determine who covers repairs.

Lower Insurance Costs

Some insurance companies may offer discounts for covering fleet vehicles that use dash cams. This can help reduce costs associated with your fleet.

Fleet Management

Dash cam data may also provide insights into how your fleet is used. It monitors staff usage, how long the vehicles are on the road, and potentially how long it takes them to load. This information can help adjust schedules and routes to be more efficient.

Dash Cam Features To Consider

When choosing a dash cam, some additional features may be worth considering.

Video Quality

Better video quality can provide a clearer view of what’s being recorded. Larger trucks may benefit from higher definition.

GPS Tracking

GPS tracking lets you track the entire route and pinpoint where an accident or hazard occurs. You can also use GPS tracking to locate a lost or stolen truck.

Audio Capture

Some dashcams offer audio-capturing capabilities. This helps monitor what’s going on within your fleet vehicle. Sound can also help determine what happened during an accident.

Storage Capacity

Storage capacity can affect how long you’re able to hold onto footage. Larger storage options let you keep more footage or record longer before transferring footage to another storage device.
