Quick one for any data protection specialists; our firm is looking to install cameras in all company vehicles ; the aim being that a record is then available should there be an accident.
Does anyone have some pointers on what I would need to sort withh regards to data protection and the human rights clauses for "right to privacy" etc?
Being an exceptionally primitive form of telematics the drivers speed is recorded on the video; there are sensors attached showing severe braking etc.
The concept; such as it is; is to roll this out to high priority drivers with poorer driving records.
I've pointed out that this is producing a vast quantity of data which is damn near un-processable as it would involve someone sitting and watching endless hours of video footage potentially showing unsafe & illeagel driving; all of which could be demanded should thee be an accident; but it apears to be falling on deaf ears.
Again if someone could point me to a similar case I'd greatly appreciate it

I suggest you check what the equipment actually records. All the ones that I have looked at work on a loop, i.e. they record only about the last 20 minutes, overrecording the earlier information. So you would only have to review a relatively small amount of video and would normally only wish to do this in the vent of an incident.
As I understand the intention, it was never to record the whole journey, but only the short period leading up to an incident so that you have evidence of what really happened.

That would have been manageable; but someone opted for 70 hour loops onto SD cards! I'll see if that can be changed; its a way around for a time being

Hmmm............so if the ignition is kept on post-incident, the event may be lost by the next "loop"?

Why do you need to place the camera in the cab? Why not front and rear mount them – this way they’ll record the accident data required – Many of the supermarket delivery vehicles have these and to my knowledge they work very well. One I know for a fact has reduced premiums considerably as they were being targeted by rouges setting the divers up with dodgy accidents.

The accident data isn't the issue; its more that we gave a repository of data on possible poir driving; speeding etc and no one is analysing it due to the way the data is collected.
And the first trenche of cams are going into high risk driver vehicle's with whom there's a preexisting driving issue.
