1st December 2021How non-connected camera systems can let you down?
Connected systems come with a monthly data subscription which may seem like a significant additional cost on top of buying and installing the hardware. Opting for a non-connected system may seem like a logical option to save money but it often ends up costing your business more.
LOST FOOTAGE
Non-Connected
SD card systems need to be manually formatted every 8-10 weeks which I extremely time-consuming and will result in very high rates of video corruption if forgotten.
Connected
SD cards are automatically remote formatted saving you the hassle of another job and removing the risk of it being forgotten about.
FAILED RECORDING
Non-Connected
Unless you manually check each camera regularly there is no way of knowing if it’s recording until it’s too late. If a camera misses an incident this can result in none fault claims ending up as own-fault due to lack of evidence.
Connected
Auto-detect and alert you to any recording loss caused or memory failure. This allows issues to be resolved quickly which massively reduce the chances of something vital being missed.
SLOW TO ACTION
Non-Connected
Having to visit a vehicle to retrieve footage can cause significant delays in accessing the video evidence resulting in unnecessary or excessive costs e.g. legal fees, loss of earnings through vehicle downtime, hire vehicles, insurance pay-outs or increased premiums.
Connected
Allows remote access to review and download footage or auto-upload footage to the cloud when collision events are detected. This enables you to quickly provide insurance companies or investigators with video evidence.
DRIVER TRAINING
Non-Connected
If you identify a high-risk driver in your fleet, it’s extremely time-consuming to look through all your camera footage to find video evidence of poor driving style that will aid in training.
Connected
Auto upload of all heavy braking and steering events into the cloud provides an easy to access library of videos that can be reviewed and downloaded.
