Dashcams provide significant benefits in fleet management, such as improving safety and resolving disputes. However, they also come with a few downsides that fleet managers should consider. One key concern is privacy. Drivers may feel uneasy being constantly monitored, Dashcams are invasive. It’s important to communicate that dashcams are primarily for safety and liability protection rather than micromanagement.
Another downside is the upfront cost. High-quality dashcams with advanced features, such as AI-powered event detection or cloud storage, can be expensive. Maintaining a fleet-wide system can also strain budgets, particularly for smaller operations.
Data management is another challenge. Dashcams generate large volumes of video data, requiring robust storage solutions and systems to retrieve and review footage when needed. Without efficient storage or clear policies, fleets may struggle to manage and retain necessary data. Dashcams also require regular maintenance to ensure they are functioning correctly. A damaged or malfunctioning camera could fail to capture critical footage during incidents.
