Considering Investing in Dash Cams?

Your trucks and vans are the backbone of your business. Especially if your team spends a large part of the day driving in the field. When your vehicles are out of commission, your ability to serve customers takes a hit, costing you money and impacting your reputation. Each trip carries risks like accidents, theft, false claims, and reckless driving. Ignoring these risks won’t make them go away, but investing in dash cams can help you take control and protect your business. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/ for some examples of the crazy things that happen on the road every day.

Eyes Everywhere

That’s why getting AI-powered dual-facing dash cams is a great investment. They don’t just show you what’s happening on the road (and in the cabin)—they’re actively analyzing what’s happening and offering real-time alerts to both the driver and to you. This helps the driver make better choices and gives you the ability to have eyes everywhere. Add automated reports and driver scorecards and you have a robust driver safety program.

Reason #1: Proof When You Need It Most

Accidents happen all the time, and if you can’t prove it wasn’t your driver’s fault, you might get stuck paying the bill. Scammers love business vehicles and staged accidents and bogus claims can cost you tens of thousands of dollars—unless you’ve got video proof to fight back. Choose a dash cam that automatically alerts you to possible collisions. It should also upload the footage to the cloud for quick review and safekeeping.

Momentum Customer Experience

A customer vehicle was involved in an accident. Footage clearly showed the other driver was at fault, although they were claiming they were not and were threatening to hire a lawyer to sue. When informed that there was dash cam footage of the accident, they dropped their threats. In the end, the other party’s insurance paid for repairs to the customer’s vehicle.

Reason #2: Prevent Theft and Vandalism

Work trucks are prime targets for thieves and vandals—they love all those expensive tools inside. A very visible dash cam can be the difference between thieves targeting your truck or moving on to easier targets. Combine this with GPS tracking for added protection and significantly lower your risk.

Momentum Customer Experience

An owner got an alert that a truck was moving after hours. He live-streamed the dash cam and caught video and audio of the thieves in the car. The customer called the police and was able to tell them exactly where the vehicle was and what the suspects looked like. He also sent video footage of the event to the police and his insurance company. His vehicle and tools were quickly recovered.

Reason #3: Know Exactly What’s Going On In and Outside Your Trucks

Drivers of your company’s vehicles represent your company and their actions can have a huge impact. Speeding, aggressive acceleration, distracted driving, and harsh braking aren’t just bad driving habits—they’re potentially very bad for your business. Dual-facing dash cams show you exactly how your drivers are behaving behind the wheel. Plus, with real-time alerts, you can address risky behavior immediately, before it becomes a bigger problem.

A large national customer conducted a trial with dash cams. After reviewing the data, they implemented a strict speeding policy. As a result, the company reduced speeding incidents by over 80% and identified which drivers needed additional coaching. This saved them money by only retraining the drivers who needed it.

Reason #4: Dash Cams Save You Money

Every accident, theft, or act of vandalism can cost tens of thousands of dollars. By investing in dash cams, you greatly reduce these risks. Additionally, many customers have lowered or stabilized their insurance premiums by installing dash cams.
