Video surveillance has revolutionized fleet management systems in unimaginable ways. Companies can now access valuable information even when a truck, car or motorcycle is in a remote location.
Video surveillance has revolutionized fleet management systems, because companies can now access valuable information even when a truck, car or motorcycle is in a remote location.
The source of customer service issues during a bus route, the real causes of a traffic accident, or even the details of a driver's behavior can all be kept under control. Our Hunter Video vehicle recording system offers all of these advantages, as we explain here.
Video surveillance cameras continuously record every event that happens inside and outside the vehicle. As a result, when auditing or looking for the causes of an incident, you have footage to back up your conclusions. This includes the causes of accidents, how passengers are treated and even how cargo is handled.
Historically, it has been common for company staff to take part in or be complicit in fraud. This was even worse on vehicle routes without direct supervision. But by installing DVR (Digital Video Recording) cameras, these frauds can be easily detected. The footage can reveal route changes, suspicious handling of goods and inappropriate behavior of any kind.
High-value cargo is especially attractive to criminals. But the cameras in a vehicle recording system can deter them from stealing or attacking in any way. When it comes to hazardous cargo, proper handling is essential for it to reach its destination safely. With Hunter Video, you can monitor everything that happens in the cargo compartment during loading and unloading.
Video surveillance cameras let you monitor driver behavior. Even better, Hunter Video can be paired with a GPS tracking system that sends alerts when drivers fall below standards. These behaviors can include harsh braking and acceleration, speeding, opening doors at the wrong time and unauthorized stops, among others.
When a vehicle carries passengers, customer service extends to the time they spend on board. With a video surveillance system, you can verify passenger complaints and prevent theft inside buses or other transport vehicles.
Some insurance companies lower their premiums when they know in advance that a company's fleet has a surveillance system. It assures them of the company's oversight and its effort to maintain quality standards in fleet management. In addition, cameras help reduce accident rates, so insurance policy renewals tend to come in at more reasonable amounts.
Having real-time footage from a video surveillance system means you can react quickly to any event. This can include sending help after traffic accidents and issuing warnings to drivers.
Video surveillance cameras are increasingly durable and offer better technology. Proof of this are Hunter Video's surveillance cameras, which also withstand vibration, allowing recording on rough roads or in adverse weather. They can also record in low light or at night while maintaining highly detailed HD images.
Video surveillance systems connect seamlessly with other security services. These include Hunter Track, which provides the exact location of a vehicle on any route.
You can also install sensors on cab doors and cargo areas to detect any unauthorized entry or removal of goods.
And when it comes to monitoring the vehicle, fleet managers can do it from a mobile app or a web platform that runs and streams footage 24/7.
All the information captured by the cameras is recorded in the cloud and can be accessed later via the web or apps. This lets you keep evidence in case of claims or accidents of any kind, both inside the vehicle and outside.
Hunter Video also makes it easy to fast-forward and rewind to any point in the recording until you find the part you need.
Being able to constantly monitor driver performance and everything that happens in the vehicle lets you take the necessary corrective action. You can also plan based on real facts.
All of this boosts productivity. With Hunter Video, you also get access to a monitoring center run by experts who never lose sight of your vehicles and everything they do. That way, you can take productivity and surveillance to the next level.
Now that you know some of the advantages of a Vehicle Recording System, it's time to find the one that best fits your fleet. And when it comes to adaptability, Hunter Video has proven it can meet the requirements of any fleet.
