Reducing Fleet Costs with Modern Technology – Vehicle CCTV
Reducing Fleet Costs with Modern Technology Vehicle CCTV
Running a fleet can be expensive, and fleet managers are constantly looking for ways to reduce their fleet costs. Furthermore, this notion is now essential given the current economic climate and rise in traffic congestion worldwide.
However, many reports have suggested that there is a general lack of awareness of the use of modern technology to save on fleet costs. It is reported than some fleet managers associate modern vehicle technology, such as, vehicle CCTV and fleet telematics as a cost that will not result in direct savings for their fleet. This misguided opinion prevents many fleets from modernising and utilising the benefits associated with modern vehicle technology.
So let's have a look at some of the benefits of one particular modern technology for fleets the implementation of vehicle CCTV.
Enhance Fleet Security a fleet that uses vehicle CCTV can have live video, audio and driver route and location (via GPS data). These are features designed specifically to maximise the security of fleet vehicles. Sophisticated systems will also allow for live data transmission, panic button features and sensor inputs which are all programmed to be securely recorded.
Monitor Vehicles with Live Tracking fleet managers can not only remotely monitor their vehicles locations but can also view live video captured in various locations throughout their vehicles in a simultaneous manner.
Lower Fleet Insurance Premiums with the implementation of vehicle CCTV fraudulent accident claims are significantly limited, disputes are resolved in a time effective manner and unattended vehicles are always securely protected.
Provides a Powerful Tool to Assess Driver Management - third party allegations are easily resolved and driver behaviour can be dramatically improved.
Achieve Greener Driving Habits using vehicle CCTV can minimise unnecessary fleet mileage and limit fleet drivers from wasting fleet resources.
Offers Enhanced Driver Training data captured can be used for training purposes at training centres and schools to evaluate driver behaviour.
The summary of benefits above is a clear indication of areas where specific fleet costs can be reduced and greater control can be gained by fleet managers that implement vehicle CCTV.
