4 Benefits of Installing a Camera Integrated with a GPS Vehicle Tracker
Key Takeaways:
  1. Install up to 4 cameras per vehicle to monitor cargo and drivers remotely in real-time, 24/7.
  2. Use video footage as evidence for insurance claims, complete with speed and incident location data.
  3. Improve driver behaviour and discipline using visual recordings combined with GPS tracker data.

The evolving features of GPS vehicle trackers are making fleet management increasingly practical and sophisticated. One feature gaining popularity among fleet business owners is the monitoring camera. While GPS vehicle trackers allow you to track trips, monitoring cameras enable you to visually observe activities taking place during the journey. This integration of GPS vehicle trackers and monitoring cameras provides you with comprehensive visibility over your company's fleet.

 

4 other benefits if you install this monitoring camera feature on your company vehicle

1. Maintain Asset Security

With Cartrack, you can install up to four surveillance cameras in a single vehicle. Video recording operates around the clock (24/7)—even at night or in low-light conditions—and footage can be accessed remotely from anywhere. You can position them in areas requiring heightened security, such as the cargo hold and the driver's cabin. These cameras help prevent and expose crimes like cargo theft or vehicle hijacking, serving as an additional layer of security to protect your drivers, cargo, and vehicles.

 

2. Improve Driver Behaviour

Surveillance camera footage provides fleet managers with insights into driver behaviour. Cameras can be installed to face the road—capturing driving habits—or the driver, ensuring they are fit to operate the vehicle. You can also monitor driver discipline, such as adherence to uniform and health protocols, work hours, and mobile phone usage. This footage, combined with driver monitoring data from GPS vehicle trackers, can serve as a basis for evaluation and driver training aimed at enhancing professionalism, improving driving habits, and preventing financial losses from traffic fines or other driving violations.

3. Makes it easier to make insurance claims

The most common reason companies install in-vehicle cameras is to ensure they have direct evidence in the event of incidents such as accidents, fires, or vehicle theft. This facilitates the process of filing claims for vehicle insurance, personal accident insurance, and even employee-related coverage. Recorded evidence also enables insurers to quickly verify whether the incident falls within the scope of the policy. Integration with GPS vehicle trackers provides additional data—such as driving speed, as well as the location and time of the accident—ensuring that relevant parties receive comprehensive information about the incident.

 

4. Monitor Vehicle Usage

The monitoring camera feature provides visual insights into how your employees use the vehicles. Any errors or instances of misuse can be verified through video footage. This function also complements another GPS vehicle tracking feature: driver ID tags. These magnetic tags must be tapped before a driver uses the vehicle, allowing you to identify the user and track their driving activities and behaviour. With monitoring cameras in place, you can ensure that driver identities are not swapped or misused. You can also monitor vehicle usage outside of scheduled hours, cargo utilisation efficiency, and post-use cleaning procedures in accordance with your company's established health protocols.

Cameras integrated with GPS vehicle trackers enhance fleet visibility, making your fleet management more professional and efficient. Want to try this feature? CONTACT US NOW to learn about the benefits and order the Cartrack Live Vision camera—includes free installation and a 1-year warranty!
