Dash cams have been popular in the consumer market for decades due to their ability to ensure the safety and security of the vehicle and its occupants. They record everything that happens on the road and provide valuable footage that can be used for insurance claims, investigations, and evidence in courtrooms. However, the trucking industry is lagging behind when it comes to leveraging the benefits of dash cams to better manage their fleets, enhance productivity, and ensure driver safety.

HD Fleet is transforming the fleet management space with its revolutionary dash cams that come with GPS tracking capabilities. It offers standard dash cams and auxiliary cameras to equip fleet owners with real-time information to manage their fleets. These dash cams can be installed in vehicles, such as large freight trucks, garbage trucks, and tow trucks, to gain complete visibility into their vehicles.

“We combine driver footage and GPS reporting to provide fleet owners with actionable insights into the important events of their fleet operations,” says John Chopp, marketing coordinator of HD Fleet.

Fleet managers can easily retrieve and review all driver videos stored in the cloud in a few clicks through an intuitive tracking application. HD Fleet has built this web-based application keeping cameras and GPS fleet tracking features in mind to capture the trip trail history and fleet productivity reports. The application allows clients to live stream drivers’ trips to check on their daily activities in real-time. Unlike other dash cams that only capture the roadside view, HD Fleet’s dash cam provides both roadside and driver-facing video feeds.

In addition, the application takes periodic driver snapshots triggered by certain safety violations. This includes seatbelt detection, speeding, hard braking, eating and texting, and drowsy driving.

The distracted driving detection feature identifies risky driving behavior and helps prevent accidents. It alerts drivers and refocuses their attention on the road through in-cab audio. All driver events can be easily tallied and calculated into individual scorecards, enabling clients to assess the performance of each driver and improve overall safety.

In the event of a collision, HD Fleet’s dash cams provide high-resolution video evidence to exonerate drivers from liability and reduce the possibility of nuclear verdicts that result from a lack of evidence and favored judgment toward the injured party in case of fatalities.

The video evidence speeds up time-consuming insurance claims processes and prevents needless payouts. These dash cams are also theft deterrent and have a security component that allows fleet owners to activate the camera using the Wake Up feature even if the ignition is off. This allows them to monitor the activities inside and outside the vehicle and catch the perpetrator by combining the visuals and transmitted GPS coordinates.

HD Fleet delivers its solution through a cost-effective subscription model, making it more appealing to clients. They can take subscriptions on a monthly basis without signing any contracts. The straightforward installation process is an additional benefit. Its dash cams can be installed through a simple 3 wire installation or the OBDII plug-and-play port of the vehicle, depending on the technique suitable for the vehicle setup. HD Fleet has a network of installers to help clients get up and running within minutes by hardwiring dash cams directly to the engine.

The value that HD Fleet drives for its clients can be easily determined by their testimonials. A client named Chris Gibbons says, “The accident alone could have cost me half a million dollars. Thankfully the camera showed my driver was not at fault. I would tell all fellow fleet managers out there, don’t wait until it’s too late—accidents CAN and WILL happen.”

Using HD Fleet’s GPS tracking cameras, fleet owners can run a safer, more efficient fleet as well as stay protected against false accident claims and increasing insurance costs by having video evidence on hand.
