Dash cams, short for dashboard cameras, are small video recording devices that are installed in vehicles to record the view through the front windscreen and sometimes rear window or other angles. Cameras are typically mounted on the dashboard or windscreen, drawing power either from an auxiliary outlet or are hard-wired to the vehicle. They continuously record footage while the vehicle is in operation. Some dash cams may also have additional features such as GPS tracking, G-force detection, wide-angle lens, night vision, motion, and vibration detection.
Installing dash cams in your commercial vehicles does much more than simply recording the road as you drive. With the ever-increasing capabilities of products like Durite’s 4G Connected Dashcam, you can receive real-time alerts and benefit from live GPS tracking. Additionally, the footage from each commercial dash cam is captured in high-definition. In the event of an accident, the footage is automatically locked in the device and securely uploaded to the Durite’s cloud system, allowing you to view it whenever and wherever you want.
Commercial Dash Cam Solutions
Installing dash cams in your fleet can simplify your operations and provide peace of mind in various ways. The most obvious benefit is in the unfortunate event of an accident, where dash cam footage acts as an independent witness for insurance purposes, showing the circumstances of the incident in an indisputable manner. From a safety perspective, dash cams can protect your drivers and vehicles from damage or theft. G-force detection features pick up any sudden changes in motion, such as crashes, harsh braking, and erratic driving behaviours. This automatically locks and saves the footage, which can be viewed and downloaded directly from the cloud (4G dash cam only), alerting you that your driver may need to take a break.
With these factors in mind, it is easy to see how dash cams in commercial vehicles are becoming an essential accessory. Having recorded video footage of an accident provides solid evidence that can speed up an insurance claim, often clearly establishing who is at fault, and therefore leading to a quicker resolution. Dash cams are a great deterrent, making thieves and vandals much less likely to target your van or truck while being recorded. Installing cameras in your fleet will also encourage safer driving, as your drivers will be aware that their actions are being recorded. You could even use some footage for driver training.
