Video
Monitoring
The image below showcases an incident of excessive breaking (highlighted in the red box). By clicking on this incident, the video appears (see image 2), and can be viewed on the 3Dtracking platform, or downloaded to the user's computer.
In summary:
- Driver behaviour adherence is improved with video monitoring;
- Incidents of bad driving decrease significantly, and safety is improved when driver behaviour is video monitored;
- Footage of bad driver behaviour and collisions can be used in driver training;
- Videos are accepted as evidence in accidents where parties may be wrongly accused; and,
- Videos can also provide insight into operational inefficiencies such as delivery time, idling time etc.
Video monitoring helps to improve driver adherence and behaviour
This is done through the use of multi-camera MDVR units that record video clips on pre-defined events, and then transmit those videos to the 3Dtracking platform for easy viewing. 3Dtracking and Howen Technologies deliver an enhanced video monitoring.
3Dtracking chose to integrate with a Howen camera solution after testing a number of video solutions available on the market. Howen was found to be the best available solution in the market in terms of functionality, data quality, reliability and ease of use.
The Howen 4 CH AHD SD Card MDVR (Model Hero-ME41-04) is a solution that connects to a wide range of cameras, offers compact design, easy installation and maintenance. The unit is able to record aggressive acceleration, harsh breaking and speed; as well as the driver’s actions within the vehicle at the time any incident takes place. In addition, the unit offers data self-protection, to ensure that data is saved when shut down abnormally.
Once the Howen camera solution is installed in a vehicle, video data becomes available on the 3Dtracking platform. When a driver brakes harshly, accelerates aggressively or drives over the assigned speed limit, the camera solution records a film clip. The user is then able to request a video from any of the four channels that are available on the camera solution.
