Choosing the right vehicle video surveillance

Choosing the right vehicle video surveillance

Vehicle video surveillance has become a valuable tool for fleet operators. Many equip their vehicles with this technology to improve safety, support driver training and prevent false insurance claims. Systems of this type are already used in many sectors, including bus networks, delivery fleets and emergency vehicles.

Vehicle video surveillance

Vehicle video surveillance not only supports driver training, but offers numerous other advantages. Videos can be used as evidence in insurance claims, protect drivers who may be wrongly accused of being at fault, provide irrefutable evidence of accidents and legal proceedings, and encourage prudent driving to prevent vehicle damage and accidents. In addition, the vehicle video surveillance serves as a deterrent against vandalism and gives both passengers and drivers additional security.

Choosing the right vehicle video surveillance

Operators who are considering installing vehicle video surveillance should consider several aspects before making their decision. Here John Osmant, Managing Director of Brigade Elektronik GmbH, a leading provider of security products and solutions for commercial vehicles and construction machinery, explains what to consider when choosing and installing vehicle video surveillance and what typical mistakes should be avoided.

Choice of vehicle video surveillance system

When choosing a vehicle video surveillance system, the following questions will help clarify the suitability of a product:

  • How is the connection made, e.g. B. via WiFi or 4G? Which connection is better suited for your requirements?
  • How is the data accessed? Do you have to go to the vehicle in person to get the recordings? Can recordings be downloaded remotely? Vehicle video surveillance with a fully managed cloud service like Brigade's MDR and BRIDGE means fleet managers have remote access to vehicle data anytime, anywhere, making BRIDGE ideal for large companies with many vehicles.
  • What recording options are there? How many hours of video can be recorded?
  • Are there any suitable trigger notifications? Are operators notified in the event of accidents or events? How quickly is this information provided?
  • Can trigger notifications be customized as needed?
  • How are recordings saved?
  • Are the recordings tamper-proof?
  • Can you search recordings by time, date and other important events?
  • How easy is it to export recordings?
  • How many cameras are required? How many cameras can you connect?

Installation of the vehicle video surveillance system

The retrofitting of vehicle video surveillance may seem complex, but an experienced installer who is thoroughly familiar with how such systems work can ensure a smooth, stress-free installation.

Typical mistakes to avoid

Often times, the biggest problem with vehicle video surveillance systems is that they do not really meet the needs of the operator or are difficult to use. For example, a limited camera field of view can impair the performance of the system, and if recordings can only be downloaded directly in the vehicle, this means additional work for the operator. So it is worth doing extensive research on a product and its functionality before buying it. A good provider will evaluate a customer's needs and advise them accordingly. He will also grant a trial period for the product so that an operator can ensure that it works correctly and meets all requirements.
