For commercial drivers and managers in charge of a fleet, a car is more than just a ride from point A to point B. It’s also your livelihood and quite possibly the livelihood of others who depend on it as well, which is why protecting your commercial ride and everyone in it is critical.
There are plenty of steps you can take to beef up car security, like installing an aftermarket car alarm or adding window tint to make your car windows more resistant to break-ins. But when it comes to liability if your commercial vehicle is involved in an accident, there is no better protection than having a dash cam installed in your ride.
At Mobile Installation in Brooklyn Park, we specialize in aftermarket parts installation for commercial and privately-owned vehicles. Here’s what you need to know about how dash cams and backup cameras can protect commercial drivers while out on the job.
Types of Cameras
When it comes to car security, there are two main types of cameras: backup cameras and dash cams. Both can be easily installed and both offer an added layer of protection against accidents.
A dash cam is typically placed near the front of a vehicle, while a backup camera is meant to give drivers a more complete view when backing up. Dash cams are usually meant to record, while backup cameras are meant primarily to aid visibility. When your vehicle is involved in an accident, having access to dash cam footage can protect your driver by providing evidence from the accident.
Hese are some of the ways a dash cam can protect you if you’re involved in an accident:
● Can clearly demonstrate fault
● Can allow for approximation of speed
● Protects against hit-and-runs
● Determines liability for injury claims
Using Dashboard Cams for Fleets
If you’re in charge of a fleet and you’re concerned about staying on top of driver safety, dash cams can help you assess driver safety. This gives managers the ability to monitor their drivers’ practices and determine there’s a problem. Additionally, a dashboard cam can help to determine the validity of a claim against your driver. Finally, dash cams can help protect your company if there’s a vandalism issue that gets caught on video.
