For transport and logistics companies equipped with cameras and telematics, robust network coverage isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Success hinges on the reliable connectivity that allows fleet managers to communicate and manage their fleets in real-time, and access key data whenever they need it.
That’s why CameraMatics doesn’t rely on a single network, but instead automatically finds the strongest local network, ensuring that fleet managers are always connected, and making their day-to-day operations a whole lot easier.
Crucial information – such as live locations, vehicle statuses, video footage, telematics data, and instant alerts – can be instantly accessed via laptops, phones or tablets providing valuable insights into driver behavior and vehicle health. Plus, if an incident or accident occurs it allows fleet managers to make informed decisions and prompt interventions.
Unfortunately, not all fleet safety companies offer this level of connectivity. It’s a fact of life that in some cases, networks drop signal. Although typical telematics and video systems will continue to work and record information offline, live communication, video, and data retrieval are unavailable while the connection is down. This can lead to significant challenges, such as:
Consistent signal vs. Intermittent disruptions
Consider this scenario: a driver navigates through a remote rural delivery zone with patchy signal coverage and gets into an accident. Despite multiple onboard cameras, the limited signal compromises crucial video footage, while the GPS fails to record the vehicle’s location, time, or date, and connectivity is lost with the fleet manager.
This setback triggers a cascade of issues: delayed emergency services if there is a serious accident, lack of video evidence resulting in a prolonged insurance process, and potential false claims with no proof of liability. As the vehicle remains out of service for inspection, delivery schedules are disrupted, incurring extra costs and extended downtime, fuelling a relentless cycle of challenges.
Now, consider the same scenario, but the vehicle is equipped with a reliable multi-network connection. Fleet managers promptly receive precise location data and real-time video footage of the accident, enabling them to dispatch emergency services and inform insurance companies. First Notice of Loss (FNOL) can be immediately processed, streamlining the insurance process and minimizing vehicle downtime. The video evidence not only identifies the party at fault but also expedites claims, reducing downtime.
In cases of theft, a dependable network connection is indispensable for tracking and recovering stolen vehicles. With GPS fleet tracking and geofencing, fleet managers can locate the vehicle’s exact location and receive instant alerts if a vehicle deviates from its designated geofence or enters restricted areas, enabling swift action such as notifying the police.
The message is crystal clear: reliable multi-network connectivity for cameras and telematics is not merely advantageous; it is critically important, particularly in remote areas. These systems ensure seamless operations and provide crucial evidence, safeguarding businesses from unexpected events.
Ensuring compliance with reliable connectivity
Reliable connectivity is crucial for maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, such as Hours of Service (HOS) and Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandates. These regulations are designed to enhance road safety by preventing driver fatigue and ensuring accurate record-keeping of driving hours.
With robust, multi-network connectivity, fleet managers can ensure that their drivers’ HOS logs are accurate and up-to-date in real-time, regardless of their location. This minimizes the risk of violations and potential fines, while also streamlining the auditing process.
Additionally, reliable connectivity supports seamless data transfer between the vehicle and fleet management systems, ensuring that all ELD data is consistently synchronized and readily available for compliance checks.
