Your Car Alarm Remote Suddenly Stopped Working. Is It the Remote, Battery or Alarm System?
You press the button on your car alarm remote and nothing happens. The doors remain locked, there is no response from the siren and pressing the button several more times makes no difference. For motorists in Kenya, a car alarm remote not working can be frustrating, but it does not always mean the entire alarm […]
Why Does Your Fuel Monitoring System Show Different Readings on Slopes, Corners or Rough Roads?
A fuel monitoring system can give fleet managers valuable visibility over refuelling, fuel usage and unusual drops in tank level, but the readings will not always remain perfectly flat throughout every journey. A truck climbing a steep hill, taking a sharp corner or travelling across a rough road can temporarily show a different fuel level […]
Your Dashcam Recorded an Accident. What Information Should a Fleet Manager Review First?
When an accident happens, the first reaction is often to watch the dashcam footage immediately and try to determine who was at fault. For fleet managers, however, video should be treated as one part of a wider investigation rather than the entire story. A modern dashcam can provide useful evidence about what happened before, during […]

The Fuel Level Dropped While the Vehicle Was Parked. Was It Theft, Leakage or a Sensor Issue?
A truck is parked overnight with what appears to be a healthy fuel level, but by morning the monitoring system shows a noticeable drop. For a fleet manager, the immediate suspicion may be fuel theft, especially where the vehicle operates in areas with limited supervision. However, a sudden change in fuel level does not automatically […]
AI Dashcam vs Ordinary Dashcam: What Is the Real Difference for Kenyan Drivers and Fleets?
Dashcams have become increasingly popular among private motorists, truck operators and fleet managers in Kenya, but not every dashcam offers the same level of functionality. A conventional dashcam is mainly designed to record video of the road ahead, while an AI dashcam can combine video recording with driver monitoring and advanced safety alerts. For businesses […]
Your Car Alarm Works, but Would You Know If the Vehicle Was Moved While You Were Away?
A car alarm can be an important first line of defence when someone interferes with your vehicle, but its strongest advantage is also its biggest limitation: it is designed mainly to attract attention around the car. If you are inside a shopping centre, at work, travelling or asleep several floors above the parking area, you […]
Should You Install a GPS Tracker Before or After Buying Comprehensive Insurance?
When buying a vehicle, many motorists think about insurance and GPS tracking as two separate decisions. Insurance helps manage the financial consequences of certain losses covered under the policy, while a GPS tracker gives the owner greater visibility over the vehicle itself. The better question is therefore not whether one replaces the other, but how […]
Can a GPS Tracker Help You Know When Your Car Is Being Towed?
You park your vehicle outside an office, apartment or shopping centre and return later only to find the parking space empty. The engine was never started, the keys are still with you, yet the car has moved. For Kenyan motorists and businesses, this is one situation where GPS towing alerts and vehicle tracking can provide […]
Your Car Has Been Parked for Days. Should Your GPS Tracker Still Be Reporting?
A vehicle can remain parked for several days without moving, but that does not necessarily mean the GPS tracker should disappear completely from the monitoring platform. For many motorists and fleet managers in Kenya, seeing an old location timestamp can create concern, especially when the car is parked far from home, at a workshop, in […]
