Fleet Dash Cameras Enhance Operations for Small Fleets

If you manage a fleet of vehicles and are still skeptical about investing in a dash camera system for your each vehicle in your fleet, it may be time to reconsider. Read on to learn about how CallPass’ fleet dash cameras enhance operations, even for smaller fleets.

Dash cameras provide drivers and fleet managers with real-time data and feedback, enabling them to be more efficient, safer, and more productive.

With the CallPass LANA Fleet platform you are able to track driver routes to ensure that drivers are taking the most efficient routes with only needing the dash camera. That’s right, no additional hardware is needed. The powerful duo of cameras that can take a video of your employee driving and record audio inside the vehicle allows you to continuously hold a grip over your fleet at all times.

Aside from recording every trip a vehicle makes, fleet dash cameras, such as the LANA Dashcam, can also act as security cameras during periods when the vehicle is parked. This is ‘guard mode’, is especially valuable for fleets that operate in high crime areas and want to protect their vehicles from vandalism or theft while they’re unattended.

Dash cameras can record all activities each vehicle in your fleet is involved in, so you’ll know if your employees are delivering goods on time or doing something unauthorized during company hours. Fleet dash cameras can also serve as a “witness” should there be any disputes between drivers and customers regarding deliveries or services. With this technology, you’ll have proof of what happened when conflicts arise.

Road accidents have always been a problem for commercial drivers. In addition to the risk of injury or death, there’s the possibility of being blamed for an accident that was not their fault. Dash cameras have made it easier to establish who’s at fault in an accident and reduce the risk of false accusations.

A significant benefit of fleet dash camera technology is that it provides evidence in case of an incident. If there’s an accident or an insurance claim, video footage can help determine who was at fault. Video evidence can help minimize liability for the fleet owner and the driver.

If you’re looking for ways to protect your fleet and reduce the amount of money paid out on false claims and fraudulent lawsuits, installing dash cameras in your vehicles can be beneficial.

Miles driven is a major component of fuel expense, but driver behavior is a significant factor in fuel consumption that is often overlooked and in today’s ever-escalating climate of fuel prices; identifying other preventative measures is key!

According to Consumer Reports, how a driver accelerates, brakes, and navigates traffic can impact up to 40% on their fuel efficiency. The way drivers handle their vehicles directly impacts how much gas they’ll use.

These are examples of driving behaviors that are known to reduce fuel efficiency nearly of all of which can be captured in a fleet management platform:

• Speeding: As speeds increase, drag increases—requiring more power from your vehicle’s engine to maintain speed. This increases fuel consumption.
• Aggressive driving: Hard braking and acceleration increase fuel consumption and wear and tear on your vehicle, leading to increased maintenance costs.
• Distracted driving: Texting or talking on the phone while driving can lengthen commute times or lead to accidents, using more fuel and causing wear and tear on vehicles.
• Improper tire pressure: Under-inflated tires lead to higher rolling resistance, reducing your vehicle’s fuel efficiency by as much as 20%.

Incorporating fleet dash cameras can bring clarity and efficiency to insurance claims processing by:

• Allowing quick dispute resolution
• Reducing the need for in-person investigations
• Eliminating the need to collect statements from all involved parties
• Enabling a more accurate assessment of damages and injuries
• Prioritizing safety and risk management efforts

Insurance premiums are based on risk, and it can be challenging for insurers to assess how risky a particular fleet is. In most cases, they rely on statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or other data aggregated from various sources. This raises questions about accuracy—after all, not every fleet is the same. Fortunately, there are steps fleets can take to reduce their insurance premiums.

Insurance providers increasingly recognize the fraud and risk reduction benefits of dash camera systems. Insurance premium savings vary by insurer, but many offer a 10% discount. Contact yours today to learn how much you could save!
