Multi-Camera Vehicle Systems by RAM Tracking

Founded in 2004 by industry experts, RAM Tracking has established itself on the core values of exceptional customer support and technical innovation. With a formidable presence of over 105,000 GPS vehicle tracking units and serving more than 12,500 customers, RAM Tracking stands as a pioneering force in the vehicle tracking industry.

The value of visual evidence in disputing insurance claims or clarifying road incidents cannot be overstated. The rise in insurance fraud through unfounded claims by dishonest road users has necessitated the adoption of multi-camera systems by businesses to protect their drivers and assets.

A comprehensive multi-camera setup not only provides crucial evidence for insurance claims, particularly in the critical first notification of loss (FNOL) period but also monitors parked vehicles for collision evidence. Furthermore, internal cameras within the system offer insight into driver behaviour and distractions, allowing for timely interventions to enhance driver safety and performance.

With RAM Tracking, businesses gain a partner dedicated to advancing fleet efficiency, driver safety, and operational profitability through innovative vehicle tracking and multi-camera systems.
