The Proof Is in the Video

Video inside of EMS vehicles has become more and more common for a number of reasons. Whether it is to ensure insurance claims are correctly handled or to reduce vehicle damage, maintenance and insurance costs, recording systems are becoming more and more important.

Digital Ally provides that and more with its FleetVu Suite.  The suite includes an app for driver login and inspections, user-friendly cloud interface for real-time analysis and management of your fleet and incident video playback with causality data and interactive route maps.

Priscilla Burgi, director of safety and risk with ProTransport-1, currently uses the Digital Ally FleetVu Suite with the new vehicles in their fleet of ambulances.

Burgi says the deployment of the product went smoothly, and the benefits showed very quickly.

“So far we have used two of the Digital Ally recordings to show we were clear of accidents,” Burgi says.

Burgi says there have been some unexpected benefits to using the system too. She has noted that the EMTs and other drivers have improved their driving skills and are more aware of their driving habits because of the video system.
One of Burgi’s favorite features is the ability to set company parameters on things such as driving speed, so if the driver goes over a certain speed, a video recording is triggered.

“Being able to determine what parameters work best for your organization is a huge benefit,” Burgi says.

Another benefit she enjoys is how quickly the videos are available to view.

Burgi says other features, such as the back-up camera, have already decreased the number of incidents their fleet has had.

“With the customer service paired with the end product, this will make a big difference for the safety of any fleet,” Burgi says.
