Kinesis Vision – Video with Telematics Data—The Complete Picture
There are lots of questions asked about video telematics and connected dashcams such as:
How does it work? Will it benefit my business? Is it too expensive for a small fleet?
Here we look at answering the most common questions asked.
In simple terms, video telematics combines video data pictures and vehicle telematics data to deliver insights that telematics alone cannot. A full story of what happened, where and why.
Telematics, for example, provides location information, as well as data about erratic driving events such as hard braking, acceleration, harsh cornering or collisions. Video telematics provides a critical context with video and snapshots completing the picture of what happened.
It may be that your existing Telematics Service Provider has a video telematics solution and you can upgrade.
If that’s not the case you can still benefit from Video Telematics by adding a stand-alone Connected DashCam to the vehicle.
This will allow you to run your existing system to track vehicles but have any video for critical events uploaded and available, with mapping location data and event details, for review.
Yes, you can buy a DashCams online or even at your local garage that is pretty cheap. But also that is what you get- a cheap solution.
Cameras used for Video Telematics applications have a number of features making then suitable for commercial operations:
Compared to what?
Our partnership with Kinesis Telematics means we can offer GSM Connected cameras at similar costs to that of a commercial specification DashCam, reducing the initial costs, with value for money tracking and video data in an inclusive monthly package.
Savings in ensuring you have a safe fleet due to the risk of accidents reducing is soon translated into bottom line business improvements.
Have a look at how this will save you money and measure that in financial terms.
Save Time, Save Money, Drive Safe
Video Telematics continues with those objectives but also increases the financial savings and driver safety improvements.
The Telematics element of the system works as normal with the Telematics unit recording location ( GPS ), speed and using sensors records acceleration, braking and cornering, among other things.
At the same time, the DashCam records high quality video onto the internal storage, typically in loops of 1 minute.
If a potentially critical event is detected such as harsh acceleration, braking or cornering or excessive speed, an event is recorded, these can be filtered to prevent unnecessary events being reported.
Depending on the type of event the Telematics / Camera unit uploads a short video clip and/or pictures to the Telematics application or the Telematics application requests the video and pictures on demand.
Either way, the result is the same. The Telematics application shows the critical event with associated video and pictures allowing analysis and full understanding of what happened.
A Stand-Alone Connected DashCam will provide you with full tracking and reporting functionality with critical events captured on video and uploaded to the tracking application.
Plus you can request video clip on demand to investigate a driving incident.
This meets the need for customers who only need track and trace tracking but want the protection of a connected DashCam.
That’s the whole point!
The system only uploads video clips where there has been a critical driving event. And with the reports showing when these happened, the vehicle involved and the type of event you only need to look at those that are necessary to reduce risk, prove liability, protect your company from unwarranted claims and coach drivers.
You can concentrate on running your business knowing that if there is an issue that needs your attention you’ll be informed of it.
That is not true for LCV’s or for outside of the London area.
The Transport For London (TFL ) Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and safety permit for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) requires operators of lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to apply and obtain a permit to enter or operate in Greater London, or you may receive a Penalty Charge Notice.
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) is new safety legislation from Transport for London created to improve the safety of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
If you have vehicles under 12 tonnes GVW you do not need to meet the DVS requirements.
From 26th October 2020, with enforcement commencing 1 March 2021, HGVs over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight will need a Safety Permit to enter Greater London.
