Introduction
A new privacy feature has been added to the Motive AI Dashcam that allows fleet managers to automatically turn off both the road-facing and driver-facing cameras when a vehicle is idling.
| Note: This feature is currently only available for certain users for beta testing. |
What’s new?
A new setting called "Road-facing while Idling" is now available in the Motive Fleet Dashboard under the Safety Camera settings.
- When set to Off, both the road-facing and driver-facing cameras deactivate after the vehicle has been stationary with the engine running for 3 consecutive minutes.
- The cameras (and LED indicators) automatically turn back on once the vehicle resumes movement.
|
Note: When Road and Driver-Facing Cameras Off While Idling is enabled, it also changes behavior when the engine is turned off:
Enabling this feature reduces post-engine-off recording time from 45 minutes to 3 minutes. |
How does this help our customers?
- Enhanced Driver Privacy: It addresses driver privacy concerns by giving them a way to turn off all recording when the vehicle is idling on a job site, for example. This can make drivers feel more secure and less monitored.
- Compliance and Union Requirements: This feature helps fleets comply with privacy regulations and union requirements regarding monitoring.
- Customization for Admins: Fleet managers can enable or disable this feature via the Fleet Dashboard, giving them more control over their safety settings and allowing them to cater to specific operational needs.
