Dashcams & Driver Safety: Why Installing Cameras Could Save Your Company Thousands

Introduction: Dashcams Aren’t a Luxury—They’re a Money-Saving Necessity

In 2025, every serious fleet operator in Canada should be asking one question: Can I afford not to use dashcams?
With insurance premiums climbing, liability claims rising, and driver safety under constant pressure, dashcams aren’t just helpful—they’re profitable. At Sevcor Technologies, we’ve seen firsthand how businesses are saving thousands of dollars per vehicle just by upgrading their fleet with professional camera systems.

1. Cut Insurance Costs Instantly

Insurance providers reward visibility. Dashcams act as a neutral witness, reducing fraud risk and allowing you to prove fault—or protect your driver—instantly.
Why it matters:

• Fleets with dashcams see 10–20% drops in premiums (Samsara Report, 2024).

• In Canada, insurance discounts are often tied to proactive safety tech like telematics and dashcams.

• Some insurers offer direct rebates for proof of installation.

2. Protect Drivers and Your Reputation

Dashcams encourage better behavior behind the wheel—drivers are more mindful when they know accountability is rolling.

• AI-enabled systems flag harsh braking, distracted driving, and speeding.

• Fleets using dashcams saw a 52% reduction in at-fault accidents (Lytx Study, 2023).

• Protect your brand image by avoiding viral crash videos or customer complaints backed by “he said, she said” scenarios.

3. Defend Against False Claims

Fraudulent claims are expensive—and common.

• A single commercial vehicle crash claim can exceed $80,000.

• Dashcams often provide video proof that exonerates drivers, avoiding years of legal fees and increased premiums.

4. Lower Maintenance Costs with Safer Driving

Drivers who are monitored tend to:

• Accelerate less aggressively

• Brake smoother

• Idle less

This leads to:

• Reduced wear on brakes and engines

• Lower fuel costs (a natural side benefit)

• Fewer emergency repairs from risky behavior

5. Improve Retention and Training

Good drivers want to work where safety is prioritized.
Use dashcam data:

• As a coaching tool, not a punishment system.

• To reward high performers and guide newer team members.

• To create objective performance reviews, avoiding bias and conflict.
