Emergency services need to protect the public and their vehicle crews as well as keep their assets secure. In such a high-pressured fleet environment, video telematics can help emergency vehicles respond quickly and safely with complete visibility and added peace of mind.
The priority for emergency services is to respond to incidents quickly, safely and responsibly, whether this is to investigate a report of criminal activity or transport ill or injured patients. The high-speed journeys represent a significant risk to drivers, passengers and other road users, so it is critical to have complete visibility of what is taking place in and around an emergency vehicle.
Video telematics captures video, audio and other supporting vehicle data – such as vehicle speed and g-force – providing emergency services with the necessary insight historically and in real-time. Vehicle downtime and operational performance can be improved due to the ability to access and download video footage over the air. Panic buttons can also allow drivers and crews to raise an immediate alert regarding an incident or potential threat, while the control room can also live stream video from a vehicle so staff can be better protected.
