Why Our Dashcams Are Better Than Regular Dashcams
Many turn to consumer-grade dash cams available on e-commerce marketplaces. However, these devices, while inexpensive, often come with significant limitations that can cost companies more in the long run.
Let’s break down the challenges with regular dash cams and compare them to a superior solution like the ones we offer at Axxon.
1. Limited Features in Regular Dashcams
Regular dashcams are basic in functionality, often lacking the advanced features required for effective fleet management. These consumer-grade devices typically record footage without offering insights into driver behavior, such as distracted driving or non-compliance.
Axxon, on the other hand, provides a complete video telematics solution that goes beyond mere recording. Our dashcams offer real-time Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), which detects behaviors like cell phone use, eating, or failing to fasten seat belts, helping fleet managers address issues before they escalate.
Plus, Axxon delivers in-cab voice coaching, offering real-time feedback to drivers, helping improve behavior and performance with less effort on your part.
2. Footage Management Issues
With standard dashcams, video storage is often a headache. Data is typically stored on local SD cards, making it difficult and time-consuming to retrieve or review footage, especially across a large fleet.
Axxon solves this with a cloud-based storage system. Critical incidents are instantly uploaded and securely stored, allowing you to access footage anytime, anywhere. Forget the hassle of manually extracting data from multiple devices. The system’s Smart Notifications and AI-triggered events allow you to quickly filter and review footage, so you’re not spending hours combing through data.
3. Reliability and Durability
Many consumer dashcams are not built for the demands of a professional fleet. They may fail in harsh weather conditions or suffer from poor video quality, especially in low-light environments.
Axxon addresses these issues with its dual HD camera system, featuring in-cabin night vision. You get clear, reliable footage day or night, whether your vehicle is in motion or parked. This ensures that every incident is captured with accuracy, no matter the conditions.
4. Customer Support Limitations
Consumer dashcams come with minimal support, often limited to FAQs or basic warranties. Fleet managers need more when dealing with time-sensitive incidents or large-scale implementations.
With Axxon, you’re backed by a team that understands fleet management. Whether you’re setting up a new system, troubleshooting, or need help with compliance, you have access to responsive, knowledgeable support.
5. Lack of Scalability
Managing a fleet with consumer dashcams is inefficient. Each camera operates independently, making scaling your system challenging as your fleet grows.
Axxon is built to scale. It’s designed for businesses managing multiple vehicles, offering centralized control over all your dashcams via one single dashboard. Fleet managers can oversee driver performance, compliance, and safety across their entire fleet without juggling separate devices.
6. Compliance and Legal Concerns
Regular dash cams might not meet the necessary legal requirements, leaving your company vulnerable during inspections or after accidents.
Axxon helps you streamline compliance. Whether it’s about following safety regulations or protecting your brand reputation, Axxon offers undisputed evidence in cases of non-compliant behavior or accidents, reducing time spent on investigations and enhancing your brand’s reliability.
7. Inconsistent Performance
With basic dashcams, there’s no guarantee that crucial footage will be captured during an incident. Cameras may miss critical moments or provide blurry, unclear footage.
Axxon leverages AI and machine vision (MV) to automatically detect and register critical incidents. These events are prioritized and sent to your dashboard for review. You get immediate access to what matters most without sifting through hours of irrelevant footage.
8. Tamper Issues
Standard devices can be easily disconnected or disabled by drivers without fleet managers realizing it, creating gaps in critical footage and accountability.
Axxon mitigates this issue by providing immediate notifications if a dashcam has been tampered with, ensuring that you’re always in the loop. In addition, Axxon’s system offers an extra hour of wireless footage, captured even after disconnection. This safeguard equips fleet managers with the information needed to have difficult but necessary conversations with drivers who may attempt to interfere with the company’s monitoring equipment.
9. Security Risks
Regular dashcams often lack robust security measures, exposing sensitive data to potential breaches. This is especially concerning when dealing with fleet footage that could contain private or sensitive information.
Axxon offers secure, private cloud storage. Critical incidents are uploaded instantly to a protected cloud environment, ensuring that your data remains safe and accessible only to authorized personnel.
10. Insurance and Driver Exoneration
In the event of an accident, providing proof is essential to exonerating drivers and reducing insurance claims. Consumer dash cams might not always capture clear footage or provide the context needed to support your driver.
Axxon's dual-facing lenses capture both the road ahead and the driver’s actions, providing video evidence in an instant. This not only helps exonerate innocent drivers but can also lower your overall insurance costs by providing indisputable proof during claims.
Conclusion: The Smart Choice for Fleet Managers
Investing in a fleet-focused, connected dash cam solution like Axxon is more than just buying a camera, it’s about enhancing your entire fleet’s safety, compliance, and efficiency.
From real-time driver feedback and AI-powered incident detection to secure cloud storage and comprehensive driver monitoring, Axxon makes managing your fleet simpler, safer, and more cost-effective.
Stop relying on consumer-grade dash cams that lack the features and reliability your fleet needs. Elevate your fleet management with Axxon and start creating better drivers with less effort.
