Video evidence plays a vital role as evidence in every aspect of society. From nanny cams to police officers' body cams or fleet management video telematics are important in every business.
Technical people call it telematics video, for others it is eye-witness evidence that helps in identifying the real reason and actual culprit behind various road accidents.
What is Video Telematics?
Why You Need Video Telematics?
How does video Telematics Work?
The telematics devices take generated data including GPS position, distance, seat belt use, engine light info, any other fault etc. The accelerometer in the device measures G-force and then the device sends data to the cloud.
The data is decoded and sent to the fleet management software app for analysis and reports. The management can view the reports and export them to gain insights into vehicles. For instance, the fleet management can know the top 5 trucks involved in accidents or require maintenance.
Apart from AI technology that is used in Dual-lens cameras inside vehicles, video telematics work with two advanced technologies; Advanced Driver Assistance Systems- ADAS and Driver Monitoring Systems-DMS. With the collaboration of two the video telematics ensure complete security and surveillance of consignments, drivers and vehicles.
The DMS helps to monitor drivers' movements such as smoking, drowsiness, etc. While on the other hand, ADAS keeps an eye on outer factors such as collision, landsliding, etc.
What Are the Advantages of Video Telematics:
Some of the advantages of Video Telematics are:
Comprehensive Drivers Training:
The video telematics provide the useful data with dashcam videos. So it can be used to train the drivers in improvising road behaviour.
The visuals help in separating the good and bad driving habits and understanding the result of those specific patterns. It helps to train good and safe drivers for the future, with lesser accident chances and high ratio of surviving from deadly incidents.
Enhanced Safety of Drivers:
Telematics videos use high technologies like driver facing AI dashcams. These cams can detect unsafe driving habits and behaviours. The system instantly sends alerts to the driver, so they correct their behaviour instantly. It helps in saving the vehicle drivers from accidents.
Reduce Insurance Cost:
Video Telematics offer a detailed view from inside the vehicle and the status of the road from outside. It acts as an evidence and helps in providing insurance claims liability. For instance; sideswipe collisions, interaction accidents, etc. It helps in reducing almost half claims and paying 50% less on false claims.
The video telematics solutions help in complying with the First Notification of Loss – FNOL. Additionally, it gives efficient access to video footage so that issues and conflicts are resolved accurately.
Complete fleet Control:
Once video telematics is used in the vehicle it offers complete control of management on their fleet. So it makes them get their job done more effectively and efficiently
All of these advantages of video telematics help in protecting drivers and the company.
