Box can handle more information and record video: Coverbox deputy chairman

Coverbox and vehicle tracking firm Ctrack are set to launch a tamper-proof telematics black box which can record more information than ever before.

Coverbox deputy chairman Johan van der Merwe said: “The Holy Grail of the vehicle insurance industry is analysing and concluding the cause, process and effect of a vehicle accident or event – without giving the game away, we’re currently piloting absolutely tamper-proof interactive devices which provide previously unheard-of levels of data, but which also monitor and record driving behaviour and vehicle movement for a significant period before any sort of harsh or severe event.”

The box could also handle video recording, he said.
