Live video streaming means a fleet manager or dispatcher can open a vehicle’s camera feed on their screen right now, while the vehicle is on the road. If a driver reports an incident or a customer makes a complaint about a specific vehicle, the manager can check the live feed immediately without waiting for the trip to end.
Live streaming in fleet telematics uses the vehicle’s 4G cellular connection. Video quality and frame rate depend on available bandwidth and how many streams are active simultaneously.
- On-demand view – manager opens the live stream from the platform dashboard or mobile app
- Incident response – dispatcher checks the live feed when a driver reports a problem on the road
- Remote supervision – useful for high-value cargo transport or security-sensitive routes
- Bandwidth requirement – typically 512 Kbps to 2 Mbps per camera at 720p; quality scales with connection speed
- Recording continues – live streaming does not interrupt local event recording on the device
