Crash-for-cash scenarios are on the rise, and this often means that the victims of these crimes end up not being the criminal themselves, but the driver that has been targeted instead. How can you be sure that your drivers are keeping to best driving practices when they are out on the road and you are in the office? You want to be able to help them in these scenarios but without evidence, it will go in the favor of the driver who has been hit into.
The most simple solution to help exonerate your drivers, to help lower your insurance premiums and to claim back where incidents have been historically in dispute is to simply install a fleet cam. Whether you are looking to install one of our dash cam solutions into a car or truck or you're interested in our range of cameras for your vehicles to help provide you with peace of mind over any driver safety issues whether it be accidents on the road or their driving behaviour, you need the best dash cam for fleet vehicles

GET A QUOTEWhilst dash cams are legal in the United States, without the need for a license or documentation, some states are strict on anything being mounted on the windshield. But worry not, our experienced installers will know the best place to position your dash cam so you get the best use out of it. You must also be aware that recording audio without other parties knowledge is deemed as illegal. If you decide that you want to record audio, then you need to make any person getting in the vehicle fully aware of the audio recording. As a general, we mute as a preferred installation. We do recomment that you use our installers, as, they will know the best position for the fleet dashcams to be positioned to not block the view of the driver.
Our commercial dash cameras do not have a screen either, this is to prevent drivers becoming distracted which could potentially negate any insurance claim blaming distracted driving as the reason for the incident.
If you have a passenger in your vehicle, you have a legal obligation to inform them:
It's becoming more and more clear to insurance companies the effect that fleet dash cams have on drivers, helping them to improve their driving efforts and to be able to bring forward effective FNOL (first notification of loss) to the insurance company. This evidence assists the driver and of course the company as it often leads to a reduction in insurance premiums which often helps to subsidise the service.
A lot of road accidents aren't clear-cut, especially if there are a lack of witnesses around at the time. So, when fighting tooth and nail when it is just your word against the word of another driver, using fleet dash cam solutions can be what swings it in favour of your driver. This can save excess costs as well as hikes to the insurance premiums.

The dash cam will automatically delete the oldest file and replace it with a new one, ensuring you have the most relevant data on the SD card. There are two reasons the dash cam will report this error message, either the SD card is not working correctly and cannot overwrite once its full or it has become full of protected files.
Check the SD card is class 10, between 8Gb and 128Gb, a recognized brand and not counterfeit. You can contact our Technical Support Centre with photos of both sides of the SD card and we can assist you in confirming the above, the card manufacturer can also assist with this.
Please remove the SD card and any power cables, then press reset button until it clicks.
Then with the SD card out, press and hold the on button for 5 seconds, this should reset the unit.
GPS signal can be inhibited by other devices and systems in a vehicle (e.g. heated front windscreen). Please test the dash cam outside to see if the problem remains. The GPS receiver is located inside the mount for some models, please test a new mount if the dash cam doesn’t connect outside of the car connected to the mounting.

The calculation of speed is based upon GPS position and hence distance travelled over time taken. This is a complicated algorithm and there may indeed be some discrepancy between devices, as it is a calculated speed, not an actual speed as measured by your road wheels.
In our tests, once multiple satellites have been located the speed is accurate to within 5%. Normally however, vehicle manufacturers always tend to be optimistic in their display of speed.
Once downloaded, the files are stored inside the App in the downloaded videos folder, from here they can be shared.
Note: If you’re using Nextbase Replay 3 on a Mac operating system, you cannot update via the USB cable it must be done via a card reader.
