FYI if you use your own dashcam

Had a buddy lose his job after providing his own dashcam footage to his employer re an incident at a client facility. The relevant footage cleared him of any wrongdoing but instead of just clipping/editing the :30sec of video needed he just walked in the office and gave them the entire file (about 1.5 hours).
Two weeks later safety at his terminal or maybe corporate decided to just sit down and take a look at the entire file and caught him (via audio) talking on his headset twice with dispatch (while enroute to his offload) who knew he was driving based on the convo they were having.
So better make sure you know what’s on that video before sending it on to your company rep or perhaps your insurance provider. i literally went out today and bought a card reader adapter to use with my iphone to use iMovie to break down my files if need be. Before I had to use the cameras wifi function and it took forever!
Oh yeah, and the dispatcher was bumped back to an administrative post for not reporting him.

 

Yep.

He was driving. About an hour before he got to facility he called in whilst driving in the area to confirm the correct gate/entrance. In the video you can hear him talking to dispatch while seeing him navigating to the place.

If his camera is like mine you can choose to record longer segments at a lower resolution and not on loop. I can record hour segments at 720 for 12 hours and then I have to reset the card. Not sure what camera he has. I stopped doing 15-30 loops after i had an issue of not being able to pull off the intestate in enough time to download a guy brake checking me.
