SAFE FLEET BLOG

Get the most from your investment with preventative maintenance and provide the level of safety and reliability your operation requires – day-in, day-out.

Electronic equipment that operates in harsh, ever-changing environments can experience wear and tear over time. Keeping your fleet safety systems in optimum operating condition helps you continue to provide the level of safety you originally set out to accomplish, as well as maximize on your original investments.
Preventative Maintenance of your fleet safety systems can:

• Provide optimum student/operator safety and security
• Minimize fleet downtime/increase fleet productivity
• Reduce operational costs
• Minimize risk and liability

From a fleet safety perspective, your biggest responsibility is ensuring student safety. Your video surveillance systems are integral to the safety of these students – the lives you transport every day. Proactively managing the service life and overall health of your fleet safety/video surveillance systems can help you continue to deliver enhanced student safety. Conversely, not properly servicing these systems can potentially compromise your ability to deliver maximum safety. Some of the common and recurring issues that arise with video surveillance systems that scheduled maintenance can address are:

• Multiple platforms and ages
• Outdated firmware
• Dirt/debris reducing product performance
• Incorrect camera field of view (FoV)
• Improper configuration
• Exterior camera cleaning
• Installation inconsistencies
• Incorrect time & date or configuration inconsistencies across various vehicle types
• Wiring and sensor wear
• Unlocked or misplaced recording media
• Unchecked systems due to lack of resources
• Life cycle and reliability data
• Vandalism
• Other issues not reported by users

Any of these issues can negatively impact your ability to provide a safe environment for the children on their ride to school every day. In many cases, issues such as these can result in a lack of the very evidence you rely upon to provide an unbiased account of an event or help prove your operator did everything correctly.

Ensure your fleet safety system is there when you need it most. Learn how you can continue to maximize on your fleet safety investment every day with Preventative Maintenance.
