they cannot watch you when you are driving..its for insurance purposes and to assist the driver should they have to use the footage..we only have two managers at my company that can assess the footage only, i don't get why drivers refuse them in vehicles or try and turn them away.🤔

as opposed to being filmed everywhere else you go? Shops, petrol stations, restaurants, even your own house by your or your neighbors cctv? It’s literally no different, the ones who make a fuss about it are usually the ones who are doing something they shouldn’t be while driving. 🤦‍♂️

Of course it is man. Most CCTV is from a distance. Last thing you want is a bloody camera literally in your face.

you mean like this one I’ve got right here? It’s no different to any other form of cctv, in your face or 5 meters away it’ll still see you doing anything you’re not supposed to be. You scared it’s gonna see the bogies up your nose lol?

are you telling me that you are happy for someone to be able to watch you talking to you Wife/Bank etc. on legal Bluetooth device. Watching you eat, pick your, scratch your arse. They wouldn't allow a company to watch them at there desk. Your cab is your personal private space, having a camera in would make you paranoid all day

well for one the cameras don’t record sound mate, so they can’t listen to me talk to the missus or a bank etc. Plus like I said, they’ve got a lot better things to do than sit and watch 100’s of drivers all day 😂.. that’s the paranoid side of you that makes you think otherwise.

the first week yea you’re a little paranoid about it thinking what if someone on the other end is watching you etc, but the reality is they’ve got more important things to do, it’s only there for insurance purposes and to prove your innocence if something were to happen. Before long you literally forget it’s there anymore.

doesn’t take as long as you’d imagine, like I said if you’re not doing anything you shouldn’t be, then you’ve nothing to be bothered about. It doesn’t record sound either for all the people saying it’s an invasion of your private conversations.

during a break they aren’t on and if your paranoid that they are on cover them over, whilst driving anything that covers me from being blamed in an accident, I have nothing to hide whilst driving so wouldn’t be bothered at all

If you arent doing anything illegal then what's wrong with it recording while you're driving, if anything bad happens it'll prove your innocence.
The only issue I have is if it was recording while on break.

if only that were true though, this camera is no aid to the driver at all, it can only ever help your company in evidence for disciplinary action or the police as evidence against you, out side cams are a good thing, they can definitely help prove your innocence, not these though.

if they prove you weren't distracted by making a cup of tea etc when an incident occurs it helps prove your innocence, don't get me wrong I'm not a fan of them however thinking they are only used against you is simply wrong.

no that’s exactly my point, it can prove you did something wrong, it will never help you.
For example, you we’re paying full attention and still had a bump, you now in exactly the same position you’d be if that camera wasn’t there.
However if for example you were changing radio stations or some other innocuous thing as the time, a bump that may have been considered 50/50 is now entirely your fault as the insurance has evidence of your lack of attention, never mind that the other party may have been doing something equally as careless, but they didn’t have an camera pointing at them, so there’s no evidence of it.

The only issue I have is if it was recording while on break.
the camera is on only when the engine running, so you don’t have to worry about your break

are you telling me that you are happy for someone to be able to watch you talking to you Wife/Bank etc. on legal Bluetooth device. Watching you eat, pick your, scratch your arse. They wouldn't allow a company to watch them at there desk. Your cab is your personal private space, having a camera in would make you paranoid all day

I have a similar issue with trucks that have been smoked in, if it stinks of fags they get the keys back. Nowt wrong with a camera recording my work time.

Yeah it’s legal
Maritime have had them for years
They only download the footage if there’s been an incident or complaint to check that the driver was doing what he was supposed to be doing
Crack in you’ll be fine 😂

Everyone just puts a face mask over the one facing the driver from what I've seen. Only have forward facing where I work.

DRIVER facing camera on fleet trucks are active forward facing. But the internal camera monitors yourself and your actions on very harsh braking or a collision

Just think if you were to have a non fault accident it would probably save your skin, just cover it whilst your parked,,

I’m sure the 5 cameras on the outside would be sufficient for a non fault claim if the driver has done something wrong it would be blatantly obvious from those no need for internal, it’s just corporate bill sh*t

let's think back 2yrs to the tragedy on the A34 when the 2 children and mother got killed, incab camera found he was messing with music on his phone... If that had been caused for some other innocent reason the penalty wouldn't have been so harse, can't see what the problem is with incab camera if you play by the book, mine I just cover up with spray can lid in my time..

ok that’s a fair comment but what if they are checking on their tacho head does that have the same penalty because your equally not paying attention as changing music?

your cab is your place of work owned by the wage payer, there name on the door there shout, anything confidential like having a whinge with another driver I leave till I'm parked up and after 5 mins it goes off automatically, plus do you really think somebody wants to sit there all day long watching you, we've 70odd vehicles, they'd need some sort of staff just to ear wig,
