Video telematics is a connected camera system for commercial vehicles that links footage to GPS position, speed, and sensor data. When a harsh braking event is detected, the system saves the relevant video clip alongside the GPS coordinates, speed at impact, and G-force readings – and uploads it automatically over 4G.
This is different from a standalone dash camera. A standard dash camera records to an SD card. A video telematics device creates a searchable, time-indexed record of exceptions that managers can review without touching the vehicle.
- Event-triggered clips – saved and uploaded automatically on harsh events, collisions, and driver alerts
- Live streaming – view any vehicle’s camera feed in real time from the fleet platform
- On-demand retrieval – request any specific time segment from a trip without visiting the vehicle
- Driver monitoring – AI-based detection of distraction, phone use, fatigue, and seatbelt non-compliance
- Evidence quality – clip includes timestamped GPS position, speed, and G-force data alongside the video
