Here at Fleetmaxx Solutions, we understand some customers might be new to telematics and will be asking, “What is video telematics?” . We’ve got you covered.
Simply put, video telematics combines video data, computer vision technology, and vehicle data to deliver insights that telematics alone cannot. Traditional driver telematics, for example, can provide fuel data as well as information about erratic driving events such as hard braking, swerving, or collisions. Whereas video telematics provides more context on incident footage and transmits video evidence in real time.
With video telematics, fleets can now ascertain the exact cause of an accident and quickly exonerate themselves, which will save the company time and money fighting a legal case.
Whilst Telematics data provides info on when & where of an incident occurred, introducing video telematics has been a game changer.
BENEFITS OF VIDEO TELEMATICS?
Firstly, through collecting real-time information, video telematics helps increase your efficiency. You can use the collected data to improve fuel efficiency and increase productivity. You can access a vehicle at any time, understand what’s going on and provide real-time support to your drivers. The data helps improve your decision-making abilities.
Secondly, our telematics software helps to reduce expenses. With the amount of data at your disposal, you can identify issues and reduce the number of accidents in a fleet, leading to decreased expenses on repairs and insurance. In Addition, most insurance companies will provide discounts on policies for fleet operators using a telematics system.
Thirdly, and most importantly, these systems can alert drivers of potential dangers. video telematics cameras can protect your drivers by altering them if they show signs of being distracted.
