Testing GPS Insight Dash Cams w/ CMO Sandra Hittle
Here’s What Happened
To get a better understanding of our product, our CEO, Charles Layne, challenged us to experience what our dash cam users feel when equipped with Netradyne Driveri cameras. While these cameras boast some notable features, I was skeptical of having a camera in my car, because I wasn’t sure what to expect. Understandably, I had a few questions:
-
- How often is it recording?
- How many alerts am I going to have to listen to?
- What embarrassing habits are getting recorded?
I knew the best way to understand what our customer’s experience, and learn the product functions, was to get one installed set out on a quest for answers. So, with an open mind, and a road full of traffic, I took to the streets of Phoenix to begin testing GPS Insight dash cams in the wild!
Here’s What I Learned
I drive…way too efficiently (a.k.a. fast). |
I don’t like being told how to drive. |
I’m on my phone way too much, even if it’s just at stop lights. |
Coupled with Google Maps, the dash cam prevented me from getting a ticket. |
The camera prevented an accident that wasn’t my fault. |
Drowsiness Detected! |
Here’s How I’ve Changed
My time with the Driveri camera began as a bit of a struggle, but after getting used to it, and realizing that I have the ability to reach out to a product specialist to alter the frequency of the alerts, it became more of a blessing than a burden. Our relationship started as overbearing and annoying but became more of a collaborative effort to make sure myself and my vehicle are safe; while also ensuring I navigate the roadways in a respectable (and legal) way when it comes to other motorists, as well.
If you’re looking for more than just a front- and driver-facing view of your vehicle, and would like to incorporate side or rear-facing camera views, the Driveri Hub-X can offer even more omniscience for concerned fleet managers and owners. Then you’ll be able to exonerate drivers from side and rear collisions as well as any additional damages that a single windshield-mounted dashcam may miss.
I hope this brief synopsis of my time with the Driveri provided some insight for any prospective users who are looking for an easy, affordable way to improve the visibility of your drivers and mobile assets throughout their journeys each day.
