Dash Cam Front and Rear with Night Vision
Dash Cams with Night Vision Can Help Your Fleet
Night vision dash cams can enhance fleet safety, mitigate blame for drivers, and cut expenses. Discover how to choose the best one for your fleet. If you manage a fleet, safety is crucial, and dash cams are a smart investment. Many accidents happen at night, making it essential to invest in a dash cam that records clear footage even in low light.
What is night vision?
Active Illumination
- When it Works: Best at night.
- How it Works: Cameras employ infrared LED lights invisible to humans but detectable to cameras. These lights illuminate the area, enabling clear video recording in low-light conditions.
Thermal Imaging
- When it Works: Works day or night.
- How it Works: Utilizes heat emitted by objects. Differences in temperature, even subtle ones, are detected to create an electronic image resembling a heatmap.
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
- When it Works: Functions day or night.
- How it Works: Captures multiple shots with varying exposure levels, blending them into a single high-resolution image, even in low-light settings.
For fleet managers seeking optimal nighttime footage, dash cams employing active illumination are particularly recommended. While HDR and thermal imaging are available, active illumination is tailored specifically for nighttime recording.
Benefits of a dash cam with night vision
Dash cams with night vision are crucial for capturing clear footage in low-light conditions, such as at night or during bad weather, to enhance fleet safety. Here's why:
1. Protect Innocent Drivers: Trucks are often wrongly blamed for accidents. Night vision dash cams provide clear video evidence to determine fault accurately, crucial for preventing false claims. YUWEI's dash cams offer infrared LED lights for HD video even at night.
2. Improve Night Driving Safety: Driver fatigue and distraction are major causes of accidents, especially at night. Inward-facing dash cams with night vision help detect risky behaviors like drowsiness or distraction, enabling timely intervention or coaching. YUWEI provides coaching tools for ongoing improvement.
3. Reduce Fleet Costs: Motor vehicle crashes incur significant costs for employers. Dash cams can mitigate up to 50% of safety-related incidents, reducing expenses. High-quality footage can save on insurance costs by exonerating drivers and preventing penalties. YUWEI's dash cam footage helped identify policy violations, avoiding potential uninsurability.
By investing in dash cams with night vision, fleets can enhance safety, mitigate risks, and reduce costs effectively.
Low Light Dash Cam Features
1. Image Quality: Ensure crisp video with features like wide-angle lens, wide dynamic range (WDR), and full HD video (1080p resolution at 30 frames per second). This guarantees clear footage for license plate readability and detecting details like open or closed eyes even in low-light conditions.
2. Video Storage and Retrieval: Choose between micro SD card storage or cloud uploading. Cloud-connected dash cams, such as YUWEI's, automatically upload high-quality, encrypted footage of harsh events like collisions to the cloud, eliminating the need for manual retrieval.
3. Ease of Use: Opt for easy installation methods like using a strong adhesive for windshield mounting. YUWEI dash cams can be fully installed in about 10 minutes, including connecting to the Vehicle Gateway and setting up the dashboard. Once installed, they automatically start recording whenever the vehicle is in motion.
