Vehicle recording cameras.
The VDR HD system being used by AMS Ltd currently have up to four cameras on the
vehicle comprising of: forward facing camera; nearside and offside cameras and rear
camera.
In addition to mirrors and side scan the driver also has an internal monitor, giving a rear view
providing additional information and further reducing a common vehicle blind spot
associated with larger vehicles.
Each camera is automatically activated and displays on the internal monitor when the driver
uses reverse gear. This vital visual aid helps the driver ensure the way is clear before a
manoeuvre is performed, reducing the risk of collisions with pedestrians and cyclists.
The footage from the system records continuously all the camera views, G force, GPS
location and selected vehicle control inputs onto a secure VDR HD recorder. This
information can then be downloaded to provide driving behavioural observation and driver
coaching and training, in addition to post
incident reconstruction.
You are asked not to touch or tamper with
the cameras, if you wish to view the footage
or make alterations to the camera you are
asked to speak to the Transport Manager
or a company Director. Failure to do so
could lead to disciplinary action being taken
against you.
Reasons for the use of CCTV and surveillance systems
1.1. We currently use CCTV and surveillance systems around our site and on and
around vehicles as outlined below. We believe that such use is necessary for
legitimate business purposes, including:
1.1.1. to prevent crime and protect buildings and assets from damage,
disruption, vandalism and other crime;
1.1.2. for the personal safety of staff, visitors and other members of the
public and to act as a deterrent against crime;
1.1.3. to support law enforcement bodies in the prevention, detection and
prosecution of crime;
1.1.4. to assist in day-to-day management, including performance
management, and ensuring the health and safety of staff and others;
1.1.5. to assist in the effective resolution of disputes which arise in the
course of disciplinary or grievance proceedings; to assist in the
defence of any civil litigation, including employment tribunal
proceedings.
This list is not exhaustive and other purposes may be or become relevant.
