Frequently Asked Questions
Fleet Tracking works by using a combination of GPS (Global Positioning Satellites), mobile communications networks, digital mapping and telematics software. Utilising the many satellites transmitting positional data back to earth to be picked up by GPS receivers. By taking information from multiple satellites, the GPS receivers calculate the vehicle location to a distance of several feet then transfer this information through the mobile network back to our servers to be displayed on our software platform.
Real-time visibility of your vehicles, know exactly where they are, how they got there and how they're being driven. Understand when your vehicle arrived and left site, if it's been used out-with hours without approval and validate overtime claims.

In our experience, although trackers can add a significant security element to the fleet, they don't tend to effect insurance premiums positively. Most insurers would recommend specific S5 and S7 trackers for insurance purposes. We can provide both options so please get in touch on https://www.oran-fleet.com/contact-us to discuss your requirement.
Connected 4G Dashcam offers GPS tracking as well as Forward and Driver facing cameras, all in one device. Recorded video footage is integrated with the location tracking data meaning you can view everything in one place, on-demand and anytime you need.
SD Card cameras while excellent for the individual driver are not a great fit for a commercial fleet. Issues around memory (on the SD card), capacity and overwriting footage along with the challenge of re-formatting the card can result in missing footage when needed most. Connected cameras provide immediate access to event footage and allow for the client to request footage of any event, even those not directly involving their own vehicle.
The dashcam works on the same principle as a standard Vehicle Tracking device. After fitting, it collects all of the GPS positional data assigned to the vehicle, sending the information back to our servers to be displayed on your portal. The additional camera technology sits alongside, recording all journey detail and capturing any (pre-defined) event which it then send to our servers to be displayed on the portal. You can also request footage from the cameras for incidents not which haven't been set to automatically generate video evidence. These requests can be made without the ignition being on on however the vehicle would need to have been active for the time period you choose to request.
We set the Dashcams to be fitted without audio by default, however, subject to the customer requirement/preference, audio can be enabled at any time. We do suggest that the drivers are fully aware of this as best practice.
Our standard settings exclude the ability to view live action through the dashcam.
We currently provide two Dashcam options, a single, road facing camera which comes with a 128GB SD back up memory as standard (this can be increased on request) or a dual, road and internal camera which comes with 256GB SD back up memory, this is the maximum capacity.
We fit standard 1GB SIM cards in each of our Dashcams (More than double the industry average) to help us manage data usage. We employ a number of measures that allow us to pro-actively manage usage and eliminate any unwelcome overage.
There are a number of factors involved in this, your current premium, claims history and your policy provider. In our experience though, Insurers do encourage businesses to engage in Dashcam technology and this can have a favourable outcome in the clients premium renewal.
We endeavour to do everything possible to ensure the safety and security of customer data, including regular audits from third party professionals. All of our data infrastructure is hosted in centres certified to ISO20000 IT Service Management Excellence and ISO 27001 Security Systems standard
The basic rule is that tracking any vehicle, at any time is legal so long as the person driving knows they're being tracked. This means that businesses are free to install vehicle trackers/connected dashcams onto their vehicles but must tell the drivers they're doing so.
