Video telematics
Combine data with video evidence
Video telematics is proven to enhance road safety by offering clear insights into how drivers behave on the road. At Fleet Witness, our smart solutions bring together vehicle information, driver data, and video evidence from collisions, near misses, and other driving incidents. This gives you the full context needed to identify the true cause of any event.

Van Tracking FAQs
What is van tracking?
Van tracking is a GPS‑based system that allows businesses to monitor the real‑time location, movement and usage of their vans. Using in‑vehicle tracking devices and fleet management software, van tracking provides live and historical data to help improve efficiency, safety and cost control across a fleet.
How does van tracking work?
Van tracking works by installing a small GPS device in each van. This device sends location and vehicle data to a secure platform, where it can be viewed on a map in real time. Fleet managers can track journeys, review trip history, monitor driver behaviour and generate reports from any connected device.
Is van tracking legal in the UK?
Yes, van tracking is legal in the UK when used correctly. Businesses must ensure they have a valid reason for tracking vehicles, inform drivers that tracking is in place and comply with GDPR requirements. Van tracking is commonly used for operational efficiency, safety and security purposes.
Do drivers need to be informed about van tracking?
Yes. Drivers must be informed that van tracking is being used and understand how the data will be collected, stored and used. Transparent policies help maintain trust and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
What are the benefits of van tracking for businesses?
Van tracking helps businesses reduce fuel costs, improve productivity, enhance driver safety and protect vehicles from theft or misuse. It also provides accurate journey data for job verification, time‑on‑site analysis and customer service improvements.
Can van tracking help reduce fuel costs?
Yes. Van tracking helps identify behaviours that increase fuel consumption, such as speeding, idling and inefficient routing. By improving driving habits and route planning, businesses can significantly reduce fuel expenses across their van fleet.
Can I track vans after working hours?
Yes. With features such as geo‑fence alerts and custom schedules, van tracking systems can notify you if a van is used outside approved hours or leaves a designated area. This helps prevent unauthorised use and improves vehicle security.
Does van tracking work on mobile devices?
Yes. Fleet Witness van tracking software is cloud‑based and can be accessed on desktops, tablets and mobile devices, allowing you to view live locations, reports and alerts wherever you are.
How quickly can van tracking be installed?
Installation time varies depending on vehicle type and setup, but most van tracking devices can be installed quickly with minimal disruption. Once installed, vehicles can usually be tracked immediately through the Fleet Witness platform.
