Idrive DVR System How it works

Installing the Idrive D4 unit into your vehicle allows continuous recording while your vehicle is on duty. The 500GB hard drive can capture up to 500 hours of video before needing to be taken out and uploaded. Additional hard drive cradles can be purchased so that full hard drives can be swapped out with minimal downtime.

Once the hard drive is removed from the cradle it can be uploaded to the Idrive Base Station for review. If you have an Idrive X1 installed you can use events triggered on this camera as a reference point for reviewing your video taken from the D4 unit.

Smaller video clips can be stored in the Idrive Control Center software for your records.

The Idrive D4 systems works under the same infrastructure as the Idrive X1 system.

Idrive X1+D4 System How it works

The Idrive X1 and Idrive D4 combination creates a powerful mobile security system for your fleet. The Idrive X1 captures triggered events while the D4 captures footage from anywhere inside or outside the vehicle. The combination of video can give you a clearer look into various incidents that occurred.

How the Idrive VEDR system works:

Record

Install Idrive VEDR camera in vehicle. Camera captures high definition video, both of the front and the interior of the vehicle. Events are captured when an event is triggered. Events are triggered by: panic button, accidents, aggressive driving behavior, door open events, etc. Information such as g-force values, GPS coordinates, data, and time are stored along with the event.

Review

You can review or we can do it for you! 

You can review your own videos using the Idrive events review module that offers users the possibility to evaluate, sort the events and drivers based on criteria's like root cause distractions, adverse conditions, risky actions, poor awareness and more. 

We can review your videos for you. Idrive is offering an optional daily monitoring service of all triggered events, including weekly management reports. Video Review services allows the fleet owner or manager the luxury of having their vehicles watched for them. Idrive uses in-house video review operators that are trained to locate a series of violations including but not limited to: traffic violation, poor lane selection, unsafe speed, not scanning roadway, not scanning intersection, smoking, driver unbelted, hard braking and more. 

Respond

Idrive makes it easy for fleet risk and safety managers to respond to video events. Interactive reports and more are available on the Base Station Server or online using the Idrive Global Center. These tools give a clear picture of what's really happening on the road. Managers can easily retrieve individual driver history and video events to replay and discuss, resulting in objective and prescriptive coaching sessions. 

Reinforce

The Idrive System through the process of recording, reviewing, and responding leads to the most important: reinforcement. Beginning with the cameras in the vehicle and ending with a manger having a discussion on an individual's driving habits, the system changes the way an individual drives. Over time those changes because of the system, become driving habits. This driving habit will continue to be reinforced by using the system's Transfer Tool, Events Player, Events Review, GPS Tracking, Reports and more.

Risk and Safety

The need - Why monitor what your vehicles are doing?

Your business has thousands of dollars tied up in the use of vehicles daily. Owners are now demanding security for those vehicles because misuse can cost millions of dollars lost in insurance, wear and tear, gas, potential litigation, time and safety. 

Idrive helps to alleviate this by providing video technology to companies with fleet vehicles. Video technology provides an unbiased and irrefutable way to take control of your fleet and cut costs.

Visibility into your fleet

Safety record and operating costs are the business' risk factors that are directly affected by the driver's behavior on the road. By using video technology, a business can reduce costs and significantly increase their fleet safety. 

More than 90% of all collisions involve driver error. Idrive helps fleets identify risky driving behavior that pose a threat to the safety of drivers, passengers and other traffic participants. 

A safer driver

Having an event triggered solution installed in your fleet vehicle, like the Idrive X1, allows safety managers to objectively train and correct the driving habits of their staff. Triggered events give safety managers a real look inside the vehicle so they can correct mistakes and praise good driving habits.

What this means for your company? 

Accident, fuel, wear/tear, litigation and insurance costs come directly out of pocket for companies. These expenses can go through the roof in fatal accidents or wrongly accused accidents. Idrive’s technology can help to reduce the chances of these events occurring, in turn reducing your business costs by installing the Idrive System.

Idrive and the Environment

Each year fleet vehicles burn 8.9 billion gallons of fuel annually due to unnecessary idling and speeding? Each of your vehicles could be burning up to 800 gallons of fuel per year due to unnecessary idling alone, which is an estimated $3200 per vehicle annually.

Wasting unnecessary fuel is detrimental to your company’s spending and to the environment.

Speeding can be detected by our cameras.

Utilizing various technologies, Idrive can help your business preserve the environment through:

Improved driving styles

Excessive accelerating and braking puts an unnecessary strain on the engine, raising the fuel consumption. Addressing this issue leads to lower fuel consumption, reduced wear/tear and greater safety on the road, all of which have significant environmental implications.

Reduced fuel consumption

With passive GPS built into the Idrive X1 your fleet can reduce fuel consumption by optimizing routes, decrease idling and non-revenue miles and improving driving styles.

Minimized idling

Idling burns 5% of all fuel in US. Nearly a billion tons of diesel fuel per year is wasted on engine idling. Less idling means less fuel consumed which, in turn, means less pollutants released into the air. Idrive provides the means to detect and prevent excessive idling, thus making your business more environmentally friendly.   

Improved vehicle maintenance

Well-maintained vehicles can operate longer, pollute less and have a lower probability of malfunctioning during operation, which can have grave consequences for the environment in cases of dangerous or toxic cargo.
