Truck and Track Summer 2021

Truck and Track Summer 2021 www.truckandtrack.com 70 SAFETY & SECURITY On-vehicle video technology is one of the key tools available to vehicle fleet managers to help them ensure that their vehicles, and their drivers, are operating as safely as possible. In this article, Vision UK highlights just some of the products that have proved to be extremely popular with vehicle operators since their introduction to the company’s range during the past three years. Arguably, the most significant of these products is our latest DVR- 2020LV Video Recording Module. This DVR is unique in that it is our first DVR to have been specifically designed from the outset as an Internet Enabled DVR. With many fleet operators running vehicles from multiple locations across the country, retrieving video footage can often be a challenging exercise. With a choice of Remote Access packages to suit most requirements, Vision UK offers customers a choice of cost-effective data retrieval packages to best meet individual requirements. In addition, this device can automatically send an e-mail alert - and upload a snapshot and/ or short video - when an event such as a High G Level or Panic event occurs. However, a further significant benefit of an Internet Enabled DVR is that it can provide automatic alerts of potential system issues. This allows operators to be confident that their DVR system is working reliably without the need to perform regular manual checks. In the event of a suspected issue, the system can be remotely interrogated so any potential problem can be understood, and the appropriate action taken. In the case of the DVR-2020LV, this device can record video from up to 5 x 1080P cameras and can save video footage on up to 500GBytes of a solid-state storage. If required, the storage media can be removed from the device and provide Police preferred Continuity of “Evidence Trail”. It also may be of interest that this DVR can be specified with a totally tamper-proof housing – requiring the device to be removed and dismantled to access the storage medium - or with lock access to the storage medium. There is a choice of software features and support options available with the DVR-2020LV and these include: ■ Live vehicle Tracking ■ Live view dial-in into any vehicle camera ■ Driven Route Reports with Events highlighted ■ Reports on individual Alarm Events ■ Statistical Reports on Key Vehicle and Driver Parameters ■ SystemAlerts such as video loss, storagemediumand GPS issues ■ Speeding within specified Areas and Routes ■ Entering/Leaving specified locations within prohibited times Fleet operators can choose tomanage their own systems or can ask Vision UK to provide a bespoke monitoring and support service. Once the video footage has been recovered, our bespoke analysis software enables the user to see vehicle location, journey history, speed, G forces and brake & indicator activation. The software is designed to help users quickly identify footage of interest, even when an accurate time and date is not known. Spotlight On Popular Products fromVision UK
