New DashCam Uses Facial Recognition

New Dashcam uses Facial Recognition

When it comes to vehicle safety technology, dash cameras are nothing new. Drivers have been using them to record their daily commutes and prevent insurance fraud since the early 2000's when digital video camera technology became affordable enough for the general public to purchase. Shortly after, commercial fleets began to see the potential of dash cams and started to install them in their vehicles to protect themselves from lawsuits and prove the innocence of their drivers in court.

In recent years, dash camera manufacturers have begun to develop robust, powerful features that go far beyond merely recording the scene of an accident. Live streaming technology, 4G mobile internet, and the ability to mount multiple cameras on a single vehicle have greatly expanded the benefits of having a dash camera system in your fleet. Rather than just protecting themselves after the fact, fleets have recently enjoyed the ability to monitor their drivers and provide enhanced safety training and feedback in real time.

Integrated GPS and G-Force sensors in dash cams have also revolutionized fleet tracking, as fleet managers have access to an all-in-one solution that provides extremely detailed vehicle location information. As goes without saying, a GPS system in each vehicle can help reduce theft and provide customers with the whereabouts of their long-awaited online orders. One of the many overlooked benefits of GPS, however, is that it can reduce operating costs by helping managers monitor the speed and distance traveled by a fleet vehicle. G-force sensors, on the other hand, provide additional insights into driver behavior and identify sharp turns, unnecessary acceleration, and dangerously quick lane changes.

So what’s new for dash cameras and fleet safety technology? As it turns out, ADAS systems are being implemented into cameras to provide both fleet managers and drivers with an incredible set of tools. By using multiple video feeds of vehicle cameras as their eyes, sophisticated programs can alert drivers of vehicles in their blind spots, assist them when changing lanes, or even bring them to a screeching halt when obstacles pass in front of them.

The next generation of fleet dash cameras is going above and beyond by providing incredibly accurate methods of identifying drowsy and distracted driving as they occur. Safety Track’s new line of dash cams, for example, use both AI and facial recognition to determine whether or not a driver is yawning, closing their eyes, or talking on the phone in real time. It can even tell if they are smoking or drinking while behind the wheel! (To see how exactly this new tech works, check out the video on our page.)

The full benefits of this new technology have yet to become fully realized, but proponents of AI-equipped dash cameras claim that the more mundane aspects of fleet management like constantly watching live feeds of drivers can be reduced—and eventually eliminated. Even the most vigilant fleet manager or team of dispatchers can’t possibly watch every driver at once. However, AI and Facial Recognition provide fleet managers with an extra set of eyes that can alert them if a driver is participating in dangerous behaviors and catch the important details they might not see at first glance.

Need a Live Streaming DashCam? You're going to have to go to Safety Track. Eyeride at this time does not have a 2 channel dashCam that has live streaming capabilities.

If you may need features like Wi-Fi uploads, then you will need to go with Eyeride.
If you don't, then maybe a system that gives you live streaming video, at a fraction of the cost, both up front and monthly, Safety Track is the right choice for you.

Safety Track's Adds Features to their Live Streaming Video DashCam

Safety Track just released the latest in video technology for fleet application.
since the release of the first live streaming video dashcam on the Verizon Network, Safety Track has been listening to what their customers have been asking for.

• Remote Playback:
• Having the ability to "Go Back" into the dashcam and see an event that took place remotely. A person calls into the office and says he saw your vehicle cutting someone off. he gives an approx. time. All you have to do is log in to your viewer, select that vehicle and playback the history. Since it is a continuous recording device, you will see if and when the incident took place.
• Email Alerts: 
• You set up the G-Sensor events. when the driver is on the road and he triggers an event, you will get an email of that event. You also will receive a short video clip delivered to your computer. It's your data, why would you want a company to review your driving data?

The time is now for you to take control of your fleet. 

Let me ask this question:

• How do you know if you are getting all the video you should be?
• Why would you want someone else, beside your company having your video data?
• Why would you want to store your video in the cloud? Is that safe?

If you haven't asked these questions, then maybe you need to call Safety track and see why you should be asking these questions.

Big Brother Myth SOLVED!

Do your employees cringe at the idea of a GPS tracking device and In-Vehicle Cameras in their vehicle? The resistance to "big brother" can be a struggle for employers to overcome and employees may complain about being "spied on" or "a loss of trust." Some drivers may even threaten to quit if a fleet tracking device or camera is put in the vehicle, but if they’re not doing anything wrong, why would they be so upset? Even though drivers are some of the harshest critics of GPS vehicle tracking technology, they actually have a lot to gain.

Improve Fleet Safety, Lower Insurance Claims, all with a Fleet Camera System!

When a driver pulls out of your lot, most fleet owners rely on the honor system when it comes to driver safety. Fleet camera’s now make it possible to see that in person.

Fleet owners spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on driver safety training, only to find out at the scene of the accident, the driver was texting. Having the ability to ride along with your drivers can enhance safety programs and gives you the ability to maintain the advantage needed to improve the overall safety of your fleet.

·         Pros: New Fleet Camera systems provide another level of safety and training that GPS Fleet Tracking cannot do alone: training and policies implementation, lower insurance rates, and a reduction in frivolous insurance claims

·         Cons: The biggest concern regarding a fleet camera system is if there is an accident, and my driver IS at fault, we can be held accountable.

True as this statement may be, having the ability to see prior to an accident can show just how good or bad the driver was driving, no guess work. Was he following company policies? Was the training that your company provided, working? You will be able to verify and reduce drivers who do not follow company policies, prior to that accident with fleet camera systems.
Where would you find a system like this? Safety Track has been revolutionizing the fleet camera space for over 17 years. maybe it's time to take a look.
