What Problems Can a Vehicle Video Recording System Solve for Your Fleet?

Vehicle video recording systems were developed to reveal what happens inside a vehicle while it is on the road. In practice, this makes them a key ally for any company looking to solve the problems a vehicle fleet can face. And that can even be done remotely. 

Is your company having trouble managing its fleets? If so, and you do not yet have a vehicle video recording system, Hunter Video may be the solution. Don't miss this article to learn how a Vehicle Video Recording System could solve your problems.

Fleet problems and how to solve them

Type of fleet

One of the most common questions when it comes to controlling and managing a fleet is which types and classes of vehicles can use a vehicle video recording system. Fortunately, Hunter Video offers the best solution because it adapts to any type of vehicle fleet.

‍

It works very well in public or private buses, police cars, ambulances, taxis, fire trucks, heavy cargo trucks, motorcycles, armored cash trucks, construction trucks, and large or small vehicles of any make. So whatever your fleet, our Vehicle Video Recording System, Hunter Video, is the solution.

Excessive expenses

Every vehicle in a fleet generates considerable expenses. The biggest challenge with these costs is knowing where they come from. Relying only on the driver's opinion and report is not enough to improve planning. 

‍

Often, the source of the problem lies precisely with the person giving the reports. But an MDVR system like Hunter Video provides access to real-time footage throughout the entire trip and can reduce expenses in the following areas:

‍

• Fuel savings: by monitoring refueling and making sure the driver follows the route as planned, a company can save a considerable amount. Driver habits such as harsh braking and speeding can also affect fuel consumption. With video monitoring, those bad habits can be corrected.
• Better vehicle care and maintenance: how a vehicle is treated has a major impact on its maintenance. The type of routes it travels also affects it. When footage of these aspects is available, the company can plan better routes and account for vehicle wear and tear. 
• Lower insurance premiums: first, insurance companies tend to reduce their premiums when they know a fleet has a vehicle video recording system. In addition, if the vehicles show a low claims rate, renewal premiums can be lower.

‍

In addition, Hunter Video cameras are highly durable and require little maintenance compared with other options. So from the moment they are installed, a company saves on video surveillance equipment. 

Lack of proof and evidence in case of accidents

Traffic accident payouts can become a real nightmare. Even when vehicle insurance is in place, policies usually have certain limits on coverage amounts and conditions for claims. 

‍

Then there is determining the driver's liability. And with passenger vehicles, the liability is even greater. For companies with fleets, this is no longer a problem, because it is possible to know with greater certainty who was or was not responsible for an incident. 

‍

This can even clear a driver of liability when they are innocent. It also provides reliable evidence to security services and insurance companies.

‍

Lack of data for decision-making

Fleet managers and company executives must constantly make strategic decisions to optimize operations. In the past, there was always a gap due to the lack of information while vehicles were on the road. 

‍

But a vehicle video recording system like Hunter Video fills that data gap because it captures every event inside and outside the vehicle. It can also stream footage 24/7 and record it so it can be accessed at any time. That way, when executives and managers make decisions, they can rely on real, verifiable facts. 

Fraud and theft

Fraud in the operation of fleet vehicles can happen for different reasons, and all of it costs the company money. The international anti-fraud association ACFE published a study on occupational fraud in 133 countries. 2022 ACFE Report to the Nations

‍

The study found that uncovering fraud committed by a company's employees takes about 12 months. But a vehicle video recording system can prevent fraud or help uncover it much sooner, in the following ways:

‍

• Detection of cargo tampering: if a vehicle's cargo or merchandise is handled improperly or in the wrong places, MDVR cameras can detect and record what happened.
• Route deviations: when drivers take routes other than those assigned, fuel consumption and vehicle wear can increase, and safety decreases. But if cameras monitor what is happening, they can alert, prevent, and correct when necessary. 
• Merchandise theft: merchandise theft can come from outsiders or even from internal staff. Either way, it is possible to verify the loading and unloading of merchandise and whether it is done as planned.
