Overview
You can now record short videos (up to 10 seconds) while raising a defect during an inspection. Videos give mechanics, fleet managers, and service providers a clearer view of the issue — with the option for operators to narrate and explain what’s happening.
Why it matters
Better clarity: Video captures details that photos alone may miss.
Save time: Reduce back-and-forth between drivers, managers, and mechanics.
Compliance & protection: Video records provide stronger documentation for insurance and safety compliance.
