How can I address concerns from drivers who are uncomfortable with the idea of being recorded?

Commercial vehicles are considered an extension of the workplace, and it is typically permissible to capture video of the vehicle cabin, similar to how one might record in an office or warehouse setting. To address concerns that drivers may have regarding this:

1. Highlight Exoneration Potential

   Inform drivers that cabin-facing footage can often forgive them in case of an accident. Such footage may provide crucial evidence to support the driver's version of events.

2. Clarify Access and Usage

   Explain the specific situations and conditions under which cabin-facing video may be accessed and who may have access to it. Transparency regarding the purpose and scope of video monitoring can help alleviate concerns.

3. Provide Privacy Measures

   Offer drivers privacy slides (similar to webcam covers) that can cover the cabin-facing camera when physical privacy is desired. This empowers drivers to control when their cabin is being recorded, enhancing their sense of privacy and security.

4. Policy Option:

   Consider implementing a policy where the cabin camera can be disabled upon driver request or as a standard practice. When disabled, an icon indicating camera deactivation will be displayed on the LCD screen of the Dash Cam, providing explicit visual confirmation to the driver.
