A tamper-proof memory card cover gives fleet managers the authority to lock the cover while their fleet of trucks are on the road. Only keyholders are able to unlock the memory card cover and remove the card from the dash cam. A lockable memory card cover is a standard feature included in the KP2-LTE dash cam.
Most dash cam for personal cars will include a 12v power cord that draws power from the cigarette outlet inside the cabin. This makes it simple for anyone in the vehicle to unplug the dash cam to cut its power and stop recording. A built-in hardwire harness prevents unauthorized disconnection of the power to the camera. This prevents drivers or passengers from disabling the camera by removing the power cable and ensures the dashcam is recording as intended by the business owners and fleet managers.
Record vehicle speed and location to the dash cam’s memory card alongside the audio and video recordings. Some dashcam will display vehicle speed within the video recording files while some systems’ GPS data can be played back later using an application on a computer. The ability to refer back to GPS files is crucial for your business to refute a wrongful speeding tickets and know your drivers’ exact locations on specific days and times.
It’s important to monitor your vehicle and keep your drivers accountable while your fleet is on the road, but accidents and theft attempts can happen while your commercial trucks are left unattended or are parked in the depot. Many dash cam appropriate for fleets have a parking or surveillance mode to record the vehicle and its surroundings even when the vehicle is turned off. As long as your dashcam has a constant power source, a dashcam with this feature is able to be on constant watch 24/7. Working with dash cam features like G-sensor and motion detection, your professional-grade dashcam will begin recording an event triggered by any impact or motion. If someone approaches your vehicle to test and see if your driver has left the vehicle’s doors unlocked or someone damages your truck while it is parked, the event will be recorded and saved to the memory card.
Remote access allows business owners and fleet managers to interface with their dash cam system from a distance. Receive up-to-the-minute push notifications of speeding or impact straight to your smartphone, email, computer, or tablet. Watch real-time video from the vehicle and view or download the recordings from the memory card.
