Fleet camera systems have gone beyond simple recording. Dashcams are now integrated with AI technology that warns your drivers of risky habits and keeps you updated on pertinent events while they’re on the road. Over the years, as Cartrack’s fleet camera systems have evolved, we’ve gotten a range of interesting questions from our customers on this particular technology. Here are the answers to questions you yourself may have been wondering about.
The best fleet camera system is one that suits the needs of your fleet in every aspect, which might be different from one company to the next. Consider important options like high-definition video footage, automatic incident archiving, and easy access to footage. You should also get a fleet camera system that’s integrated with GPS tracking and one that’s tamper-proof.
The best fleet tracking software is one that gives you full control of your driver coordinates and automates route management. You also want one that’ designed to save on fuel costs. As a fleet manager, you can’t sit for hours working out the best routes, so choose fleet tracking software that does this for you, saving you time and effort.
The cost of a fleet camera system will depend on how many cameras you need for each vehicle. The type of camera will also influence the cost, since some are purely road-facing while others show in-cab activity and vehicle surroundings. Choose a fleet camera system that integrates with your fleet management software for the best results.
AI is used in a fleet camera management system to detect unwanted behaviours such as smoking, eating, drinking, or drowsiness. The AI component alerts the fleet manager when these behaviours occur. Many AI cameras also track vehicles, prevent tampering, and detect theft attempts.
Yes, certain cameras are designed to record while the vehicle is switched off. But this usually happens only when there’s something worth recording, such as a collision or theft attempt. Cameras stay off most of the time to preserve the vehicle’s battery.
A camera helps you monitor drivers and their behaviour by sending live footage while they’re driving. Smart fleet cameras also alert you to reckless or risky behaviour, so you don’t need to constantly watch footage.
