“The camera evidence provided through SmartWitness technology is a huge help for drivers who have a vehicle accident, whether it’s for an insurance purposes or defending false claim by another driver,” comments Alex Rothwell, chief technology officer at Masternaut.
And he adds: “Demand for camera integration in cars, van and lorries is increasing, and we’re glad to deliver further safety enhancements that are both preventative and retrospective by offering integrated SmartWitness cameras.”
“Just 2% of incidents caught on SmartWitness cameras result in disputed insurance claims against an industry norm of 40% of all motor claims,” says SmartWitness CEO Paul Singh.
“We are delighted to be providing integrated telematics and camera technology with Masternaut and delivering added value for fleets.”
The SmartWitness KP1 camera pairs with Masternaut Connect to provide drivers with video evidence of an accident on the Masternaut platform.
Data can then be downloaded from the vehicle through an SD card and viewed in HD quality.
The camera records what happens before, during and after an accident, and records the driver’s view of the road, the vehicle location, the impact force of the accident and the driving style (speeding, braking, acceleration, cornering).
