When you find yourself out on the road with angry or impatient drivers, courier jobs, and even driving in general, can be a risky and frustrating business. If you’re worried about ever having to make an insurance claim after a road accident, or if you’re concerned that it’ll look like you’re in the wrong, worry no more!
Help is at hand because a company called Camera Telematics have teamed up with the app Accident Buddy to create a new advanced recording device: the Street Angel.
The Partnership
Camera Telematics are the leaders in vehicle camera technology, and Accident Buddy is an insurance claims app available to businesses in the transport sector. Together, the two have come up with a fantastic insurance claims solution for those who make a living out on the road doing courier jobs.
The Director of Camera Telematics, Simon Catt, stated the partnership offers drivers “irrefutable evidence when it comes to capturing footage of a road incident, but also – most importantly – complete protection against fraudulent claims and reliable accident management support”. You can’t argue with that!
The Device
The Street Angel device is linked to the Accident Buddy app and works by capturing high-quality video and photo evidence of road incidents. This footage can then be uploaded onto the app and seen by the company’s claims team and the respective fleet managers. This quick, easy system allows for comprehensive incident management and also gives the driver immediate advice.
Unlike other on board vehicle cameras, Street Angel has a variety of advanced features such as 128GB of internal memory, a shock axis sensor and speedy 4G connectivity. The device automatically transmits data relating to the vehicle’s speed and GPS position, so nothing is ignored when it comes to accuracy. This comprehensive technology really is a must-have for fleet operators.
The Director of Accident Buddy, Martin Haggarty, said that the Street Angel is “the most advanced camera solution available” and that, during their partnership with Camera Telematics, they will be working toward developing further improvements to benefit their customers.
Supporting Drivers
With the help of this advanced technology, the workers out there doing courier jobs (and of course the fleet operators as well) can rest safe in the knowledge that their business is fully protected against fraudulent insurance claims. The advanced footage recording device will enable the driver to capture every moment of the incident, meaning the data will always be completely accurate and reliable – it’s the perfect solution!
Courier jobs don’t have to be stressful anymore. With the Street Angel, couriers can finally drive risk-free, knowing that as long as they’re driving safely, they won’t have to suffer any losses arising from fraudulent claims. The transport industry and its fantastic technological advances are certainly something to be thankful for, and there’s hope that a hassle-free future lies ahead for everyone in the business.
