DriveCam's Event Recorder
Continues to Evolve
 |
The latest version of DriveCam's
Video Event Recorder (VER), DC3P, began shipping in early August. The DC3P
provides enhancements to the DC3 VER including an onboard posted speed database,
wider angle lens and advanced analytic capabilities. As proven experts in the
science of safe and efficient driving, the introduction of posted speed
violations is an example of our commitment to continually enhance capabilities
to identify and correct risky driving behavior. |
Why is monitoring speed important?
- It saves fuel: Above 55 MPH, each 1 MPH increase in vehicle speed
decreases fuel consumption by 0.1 MPG.
- It's dangerous: Speed consistently contributes to over 30% of traffic
fatalities.
To learn more about DriveCam's DC3P VER,
or to convert your current video event recorders, contact your Account
Representative at 866.419.5861.

"DriveCam has been a great tool for
decreasing our incidents, improving our driver behavior when it comes to safe

above our competitors."
"During our first year of implementing the DriveCam
Program, we saw an 81% reduction in the cost of accidents and a 76% reduction in
frequency of accidents. Based on the results, we're now expanding to implement
DriveCam's Fleet Tracking Program across our
fleet."
