Looking for feedback on best practice for transporting equipment (cameras). Our current practice - vendors ship product to our shop and our techs take as many cameras as they can. If they can not store uninstalled cams onsite they bring back to our shop and unload back into our whse. Next trip, they take cameras back to site. Bringing the cams back to whse creates logistical and tracking issue because our techs sign the product out then paper work gets messy once they keep bringing back cams.
We would like to have the techs keep possession of the cameras (in their company vehicle). What are the negative aspects of keeping these cameras on vehicles. The are placed safely in trucks, its not like they are rolling around during travel. These cameras are packaged quit well. Do we have to worry about hardware malfunctions due to cameras being subject to normal transporting in vehicles?
