NEW DVR Health Report promises peace of mind

Every fleet operator knows that frustrating experience when, at the crucial moment an incident occurs, a camera on the vehicle isn’t working and there’s no footage to verify what happened. Ensuring equipment is fully operational is not only essential for safety reasons but is often a requirement for insurance policies. However, manually checking every camera and device on a large fleet is very time-consuming.

The Fleetclear DVR Health Report automates the process and detects any issues or intermittent faults across the entire fleet, pinpointing only those areas that require attention. It is in essence a regular, automatic check-up for the vehicle’s black box, ensuring that all cameras are online and working optimally, files are being saved correctly and there is adequate storage.

Chris Waller, Chief Technical Officer, Fleetclear said: “The health report turns the DVR system into a proactive safety tool and saves a huge amount of time by automating the process of checking equipment.  As part of the process a snapshot from each camera is taken to check the alignment and flag up any obscured views. The system can also target intermittent faults or crashes that may occur at random times with certain cameras.”

Each time the DVR powers up, a comprehensive health check is performed, snapshots of every camera are saved, along with any historical events or issues, and flagged for analysis on the Fleetclear Connect web app. There is a choice between either a self-service option or a fully automated preference with automatic failure notifications, manual camera alignment checks, engineer scheduling and weekly email report.
