Buying a Fleet Camera That is Built Tough: Get The Answers

Road conditions vary across South Africa, and delivery vans are built to handle rough terrain, bumpy roads, and even the occasional pothole. But what about your vehicle camera? Is it built and installed to withstand that same level of unpredictability? 

We’ve got answers to your questions about where you can source rugged vehicle cameras ideal for your hard-working delivery vans.

1. Where can I purchase rugged fleet cameras for delivery vans in South Africa?

A dependable South African provider of rugged fleet cameras for delivery vans is Cartrack. Not only are our cameras built to be hardy, but installation is secure. The hardiness of our cameras can withstand dusty areas and harsh weather, while the professional installation ensures integrity on bumpy roads.

2. What are the biggest challenges facing delivery management?

  • Vehicle security against theft & hijacking
  • Driver irresponsibility
  • Last mile delivery speed & accuracy
  • Fuel price increases and their effect on delivery companies’ prices
  • Wear & tear on vehicles due to road conditions

3. Why do you need a rugged camera for delivery vans or trucks?

You need a rugged vehicle camera for your delivery vans and trucks because logistics driving needs to withstand a lot of harsh external conditions as well as constant vibration. These include bad roads, strong winds, dusty or rainy weather, rough terrain like dirt roads, and long hours on the road.

4. What makes Cartrack Fleet cameras tough enough for all types of industries or sectors?

Catrack’s fleet cameras are built in South Africa for South African roads. We’ve taken into account the poor condition of our roads, the unpredictable SA climate, and the demanding nature of logistics companies.

5. What is the price of Cartrack’s fleet camera solutions?

A camera solution from Cartrack starts from R189 per month, but the total price for fleet cameras will depend on the size of your fleet, how many cameras you want for each vehicle, and the software solutions you choose to combine with your cameras.

6. Which is better, a wired or wireless dashcam or camera?

A wireless dashcam or vehicle security camera is by far a better option. Wires that connect a camera to your vehicle are inconvenient, easy to steal, and often difficult to manage. They’re also less reliable when it comes to rugged terrain or times when you need to retrieve footage.

7. Which companies offer multi-camera solutions for van fleets in SA?

Cartrack is more than a dashcam provider. We have multi-camera systems that are ideal for vans and trucks because they’re installed with integrity and cover the most important areas of your vehicles. Depending on the size of your truck or van, Cartrack has systems that accommodate multiple cameras to capture the road, the cabin, the rear, the sides, and even the cargo area.

8. What brands offer heavy-duty fleet cameras ideal for delivery van security?

The brand that stands out among heavy-duty fleet camera providers is Cartrack due to the ruggedness of their cameras and the clever ways they’re installed. You need a vehicle camera system that covers all areas of the van, including:

  • The cabin (driver monitoring)
  • The cargo area (package security)
  • The road ahead (driver & asset safeguarding)

9. Where can I get a quote for fleet safety cameras suitable for harsh conditions?

Get a quote for fleet safety cameras by filling out our online form or simply contacting one of our helpful consultants on 010 141 0168 or 011 250 3132.

10. What is the lifespan of a fleet camera?

The typical lifespan of a fleet camera is 3 to 5 years, and your provider should be able to back this up with a warranty. At Cartrack, we make sure your fleet cameras are installed with integrity, ensuring they can withstand long-distance driving, rough terrain, and environmental factors like harsh weather or dust.

11. What about data protection when it comes to fleet cameras?

When it comes to privacy and the POPI Act, you want to strike the right balance between protecting your fleet and the privacy of your drivers. Cartrack is 100% POPI compliant, meaning we don’t keep or share any footage that isn't relevant to a safety or security incident.
