Whether your team is on the road or at a site, we know how important safety and efficiency are when it comes to managing a fleet. That’s why we created the HCSS Fleet Dashcam, a tool that’s been a game-changer for both our customers and our own team. One of our product managers, who’s always on the road for work, recently got a firsthand look at just how useful this technology can be.

On two separate trips, he had mild road collisions, but thanks to the HCSS Fleet Dashcam, both incidents were captured with clear, timestamped footage. This footage helped protect him from potential disputes or fraudulent claims.

"Having the dashcam and being able to easily find and retrieve the accident footage clearly exonerated me of fault."

—Phil Robinson | Group Product Manager, Fleet | HCSS

The dashcam wasn’t just about peace of mind for Phil — it also helped reduce risk. It allowed him to be more mindful of his driving during long trips. If something unexpected happens, the dashcam captures it, helping prevent misunderstandings or insurance issues down the line.

The HCSS Fleet Dashcam was designed to be a reliable tool that protects drivers and provides valuable insights into driving habits. Our product manager’s experience really shows how it helps resolve disputes and keep accident-related costs in check.

HCSS Fleet Dashcam and Telematics Integration - A Powerful Combo

For fleet managers who need more than a dashcam to save money on fender benders, HCSS makes integration a top priority. Products like HCSS Telematics make fleet management safer, easier, and more affordable. Combining the two does more than just record video — it gives you real-time data and useful insights that help improve driving, reduce accidents, and make operations run smoother.

Clear, Reliable Footage

The HCSS Fleet Dashcam’s reliable footage is extremely helpful for settling claims or disputes, giving our customers an accurate account of what really happened. No pixelated license plates or driving conditions — the video is also timestamped and geo-tagged, so it’s not just clear, but also gives context, making it easy to figure out who was at fault in an accident.

Real-Time Alerts with HCSS Telematics

While the dashcam captures video, HCSS Telematics allows you to capture events like hard braking or sharp turns. These immediate alerts give your fleet managers a chance to step in and correct unsafe behavior before it turns into a bigger problem. This way, you prevent accidents before they happen.

For our product manager, this system has made his daily drives and long trips way more secure, knowing he has reliable footage and real-time data to back him up and reduce risk. If you’re looking to improve driver and vehicle safety and cut back on those costly premiums, HCSS Dashcam and HCSS Telematics have you covered.
