Cameras in vans

[Tman]

Work in an MC then. That's 24/7 recorded surveillance, and no-one moans.

Manager told me that the forward facing camera doesn't film inside the cab, it points outwards through the windscreen. But he said it does record audio continuously but that it would only be uploaded in the event of an accident. Presumably to discover if the driver was on their phone. Maybe also to detect road rage type shouting or aggressive comments just prior to a collision.

I can imagine it being used to snoop. I've developed work induced tourrettes syndrome over the last 12 months. They really don't want to hear the stuff I say when I'm driving alone. It shocks me even.

How do they know whos doing the talking then if it doesnt film inwardly?

The OP could have saved themselves a lot of time by using Google Lens.

It'll be pretty obvious from what is being said/shouted which of the two drivers is talking? Anything shouted in the heat of the moment could well now lead to instant dismissal, which isn't presently the case.

I’m talking about just general snooping not as a result of a complaint from other driver or civilian

[Thommo44]

My lord, it goes from bad to worse.
Talking to myself on my rural will have to stop.
Phone call from the wife during my break will have to go outside.
Also they would have has some very interesting footage of me desperately trying to get
something out of my eye for a full 15 minutes one day last week.
I know a driver years ago who had very bad eczema around his groin area, used to apply cream
sat in the drivers seat if it flared up at work (could hardly do it outside).
Is nothing sacred?

I hope they like a bit of Motorhead at full volume

Yeah I was thinking I might dig out my chubby brown and Bernard manning CDs

One month trial of dash cams confirmed in work time learning last week. Full installation presuming trial is successful which, of course, it will be.

They are being fitted over the next two years. Once they’re in your vans they’re not coming out.

They've already been fitted in a number of vans as they are showing 'this van uses CCTV....." stickers, we've been told the company is having issues with the large screens being continually switched on draining the batteries on the electric vans!

[clashcityrocker]

Will they have to listen to me singing along to the radio?

[OikOik]

The one we have is broken already. The screen keeps flashing, the frame its on keeps failing and dropping the screen down. Also the way it's positioned is you can only just see the road at the back, I thought it was going to be a proper full display of whatever is behind you.

typical Royal mail nothing works properly.
