Truck Stops Cameras, what they really record.

Get a dash cam. Don’t rely on others for anything.

 

Fuel stations care about slip and fall lawsuits. That's the only reason they have cameras. Any other use like catching a thief or fraud is just a byproduct. All that's insured so the company doesn't care.
(At least that was the attitude of the several dozen gas stations I put cameras in back when I did that work)

 

They suck. Many years ago when I was a company driver in a brand spankin new truck that probably had less than 5,000 miles on it somebody hit it in the parking lot. My first new truck actually and I was proud to have one finally after 3 years of busting it! Well, some dope in a box truck tore the fender off while it was parked and I was inside the Lovell Rd Pilot in Knoxville, TN taking a shower. Everybody saw it but nobody saw nothing. The camera footage was grainy. Police basically said sorry about your luck...

Had to bobtail back to the yard and get temporary loaner until it was fixed. It ruined my revenue intake that week. Yeah, don't expect those cameras to be any help. Watch the ID Channel and see how many unsolved murders get caught on grainy gas station cameras. They might as well not even waste the money on them.

 

i went to fill up my king ranch one day. someone left there card in the reader on the pump. i spent a couple hours on facebook and google. went and found the old lady and returned it.

 

I've had a person hit me at fuel islands at older small loves and they had no footage even though multiple cameras were facing right at the entire fuel island, not just the pump cams. I wouldn't rely on them at all, the new locations have even more cameras but who knows,

 

I'm not sure why you would drive in to a truck stop and expect anything but to get robbed. There are even big signs out by the roads that tell you they are there to rob you.
