Intelligent Telematics has launched an all-in-one 3G vehicle camera and fleet tracking tool that removes the need to purchase and operate two separate systems.

The IT1000 vehicle camera will now combine high definition video, GPS tracking, three-axis accelerometer and 3G technologies, removing the need for any additional telematics hardware to be fitted.

A detailed reporting package will offer added operational insight across a wide range of fleet data, making it possible to monitor vehicle and driver performance as well automate back-office processes such as private mileage and timesheets. Meanwhile, a driver behaviour league table, supported by exception reports for speeding, idling and harsh manoeuvring, will allow unsafe driving to be quickly detected and help identify employees that could benefit from added training.

“Every tracking system is essentially a black box that has GPS to provide location and speed, along with an accelerometer that can record movement in three axis,” explains Nick Plowman, chief yechnology officer at Intelligent Telematics.

“Therefore, we have recreated what is in a black box in a vehicle camera, so we can combine the functionality of both in a single system. This has enabled us to deliver an all-in-one solution that combines all the benefits of a forward-facing camera and vehicle tracking simply and cost-effectively.”
