A fleet dash camera is a camera fitted to a commercial vehicle that records the view ahead continuously and saves clips when an event is detected. When a van is involved in an insurance dispute, the footage shows exactly what happened from the driver’s perspective – without relying on witness accounts.
Fleet dash cameras differ from consumer dashcams in how footage is managed and accessed. A fleet unit uploads event clips over 4G so a manager can review them from the office, rather than sending an engineer to retrieve an SD card from the vehicle.
- Forward-facing – records the road ahead, the primary evidence view for most collisions
- Dual-channel – adds a second inward-facing camera to cover the driver cab
- Event-triggered upload – clips sent automatically to the platform on harsh event detection
- Continuous loop recording – overwrites oldest footage when storage is full, keeps most recent hours
- ADAS functions – some models add lane departure, forward collision, and speeding alerts
