Teletrac Navman launched Enhanced Privacy Mode, a feature for the company’s Smart Dash Cam users, addressing a significant concern highlighted in a recent survey.
A survey by Teletrac Navman revealed that while 85% of fleets see artificial intelligence as the future of safety, 23% expressed concerns about data privacy related to cameras and AI.
Enhanced Privacy Mode responds to these concerns by allowing fleet managers to pause driver-facing video recordings while still capturing critical in-cab audio alerts and inward alert data.
This ensures that unsafe driver behaviors, such as mobile phone use and erratic driving, can still be identified without compromising driver privacy.
This feature is useful when drivers and/or their union request that the driver-facing camera is switched off by default and only activated to investigate a persistent problem.
Objections to the camera being permanently on may be related to factors such as privacy laws or concern about who can view the recordings.
With Enhanced Privacy Mode activated, fleets can manage dash cam recordings while maintaining AI event detection capabilities.
Teletrac Navman’s Smart Dash Cam is equipped with dual forward- and inward-facing AI-enabled cameras. Each minute of footage is logged in real-time, enabling fleets to gain insights into driver behavior. With the help of AI, fleet operators can identify actions to reward, areas for improvement, and develop accurate driver performance scores.
