The cost of operating without dash cams

‍

Without dash cams, every incident becomes your word against theirs. That leaves you exposed to fraudulent claims, drawn out disputes and rising premiums.

Crash for cash scams

‍

Fraudsters target commercial vehicles because they know they'll be insured. Without footage, it's hard to prove a collision was staged, and you could end up paying for one you didn't cause.

Disputed liability

‍

When there's no clear evidence, liability disputes drag on and can mean higher excess payments. Vehicles may sit off the road while claims are investigated, disrupting the work you have booked in.

Rising insurance costs

‍

Without footage to defend claims, more of them end up going against you. Over time, that history can push up your fleet insurance costs at every renewal.

Driver behavior concerns

You hear complaints about aggressive driving but have no way of checking what happened. Our guide on how dash cams improve road safety explains how footage helps you coach drivers fairly.

SD dash cam benefits that matter

Vehicle security

‍

SD dash cams keep recording when parked if they're hardwired, capturing theft attempts and parking incidents. Pair them with vehicle tracking so you can see where a vehicle is if it's taken.

Legal protection

‍

Commercial dash cam footage gives you evidence to share with police, insurers or the Insurance Fraud Bureau. Clear evidence helps you fight false claims and crash for cash scams.

Driver accountability

‍

Recording encourages safer driving. Drivers tend to take more care when they know incidents can be reviewed fairly and objectively.

Lower monthly cost

‍

A more affordable subscription than connected systems, with essential recording and no features you don't need. If you want live alerts for harsh cornering, acceleration and braking, connected dash cams offer them.

Lower insurance premiums

‍

Some insurers offer discounts for vehicles with commercial dash cams, though not all do. Video evidence can also help claims settle faster.

Quick evidence access

‍

Remove the SD card and view footage within minutes, with no waiting for cloud uploads or logging into online systems. It's a simple way to review incidents as soon as a vehicle is back.

Frequently asked questions about SD dash cams

How does a commercial SD dash cam work?

Our commercial SD dash cams mount securely to your vehicle's windscreen and connect to the vehicle's power supply. They automatically record video of the road ahead. This footage is then saved on an SD memory card for later review if needed.

How much footage can a commercial dash cam store?

With our standard 32GB SD card, you can store approximately 4-6 hours of HD footage. When the card reaches capacity, the system automatically begins overwriting the oldest footage. This ensures your camera records constantly without needing maintenance.

Can commercial dash cams really reduce insurance costs?

Yes! Many insurers offer discounts of up to 32% for vehicles with dash cams installed. The RAM Live cameras reduce fraudulent claims, provide clear evidence in accidents, and encourage safer driving.

What happens if my SD card gets corrupted?

If your SD card becomes corrupted, it may need reformatting. We recommend regularly backing up important footage to prevent data loss. If the card is physically damaged, it will need to be replaced.

What’s the difference between an SD dash cam and a connected dash cam?

SD dash cams record to a removable card, so you collect footage manually after an incident. They cost less but mean waiting until you can get to the vehicle. Connected dash cams upload footage automatically and alert you to harsh cornering, acceleration and braking, but cost more each month. Our guide to connected vs unconnected dash cams explains which suits your fleet.
