Dash cameras have been trusty companions for road users for quite some time now. The simple design is perfect for the average consumer, however, these cameras cannot cater to the extensive needs of businesses with large fleets of vehicles and drivers. So, the team at Fleetware have assembled our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera solution to bridge this gap in the market and increase the safety, efficiency and profitability of these businesses. Before we explore the six key benefits of our solution, we first need to understand the difference between a standard consumer dash camera, and our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera.
Standard consumer dash cameras simply record audio and video footage locally onto an SD-card. If you need to view footage recorded by the dash camera, you need to remove its SD-card, insert it into an SD-card reader (typically found in a laptop or PC), before manually reviewing the footage. For an individual, this process is perfectly fine, however, when it comes to businesses with large fleets of vehicles, this system is completely inefficient. Imagine trying to sift through footage from weeks of driving from hundreds of vehicles! Not to mention trying to keep track of hundreds of SD cards and having to pull vehicles off the road just to access the footage! Huge amounts of resources, time, and money would be lost to this process.
Our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Cameras offer a range of valuable benefits for commercial fleets that the standard dash camera simply cannot match. Let’s explore these below!
Benefit 1: Driver Behaviour Monitoring
Our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Cameras use artificial intelligence or AI to identify events that are happening both on the road ahead and inside the cab. Using the forward-facing camera, the AI can identify events on the road ahead such as lane departure, collision warnings and following too close or headway monitoring. The driver-facing camera is able to detect driver distraction, phone usage, smoking, seatbelt usage as well as signs of fatigue. Monitoring driver behaviour not only increases the accountability of your team – it enhances the safety of your entire fleet.
Benefit 2: Real Time Location Tracking
With real time GPS tracking, you can rest assured that your vehicle locations are only a click away. Real time location tracking not only lets you keep an eye on your fleet – it allows you to optimise routes, provide assistance in case of emergencies, and ensure that your fleet is operating efficiently.
Living in Australia, we understand that often, fleets need to travel through rural or remote areas with little to no cellular coverage. The camera alone is unable to communicate outside of cellular coverage, however, paired with a Remote Worker solution, you can access all of the real time location features regardless of where your vehicles are!
Benefit 3: Mitigation of Insurance Claims
Accidents happen, and when they do, you will be equipped with everything you need to mitigate the claim. Our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera records incidents accurately, saving video for you to review. When the time comes to provide evidence, you will be thoroughly prepared to resolve the dispute and protect your business if fraudulent claims arise.
Benefit 4: Reduction of Insurance Claims & Premiums
In addition to mitigating false insurance claims, our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera solution can help reduce the number of insurance claims and potentially lower the cost of premiums and/or excess amounts. Monitoring driver behaviour and promoting driver safety through audible, in-cab alerts has shown major improvements in driver conduct across fleets. Decreasing the number of human-caused incidents will drive down the cost of insurance claims and premiums, ultimately benefiting your company’s bottom line.
Benefit 5: Driver Appraisal
The Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera is not only useful for accidents and insurance claims, it helps you to evaluate driver performance and standardise driver conduct. Having access to driver behaviour data enhances your ability to manage your fleet – whether it’s driver appraisal, identifying drivers that are in need of additional training, or acknowledging outstanding drivers; our solution opens a world of information that’s available at your fingertips.
Benefit 6: Improving Safety Policies
Our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera is highly customisable – allowing you to fine tune and tailor the camera solution to meet your company’s individual safety policies and procedures. Whether you require specific monitoring of events such as eye-closure, distraction or headway monitoring, our dash camera enables you to be in complete control of your safety settings. Paired with our other five benefits, such as driver behaviour monitoring, this holistic solution aims to prevent accidents, increase compliance, and promote a culture of safety across your fleet.
Upgrading to our Smart AI Dual Lens Dash Camera is more than just a hardware improvement – it completely transforms the way you approach road safety and fleet management. Driven by the need to increase safety, efficiency, and profitability, it’s clear to see why more businesses are implementing this technology into their operations.
