This video telematics solution is said to offer commercial truckers protection against costly hazards outside their control and enhance fleet management.

It features inward- and outward-facing dash cameras to enable in-cab feedback for the drivers. These internet-connected cameras also support Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features and auto-upload all incident footage to the cloud.

In addition to video capabilities, real-time GPS fleet tracking and vehicle diagnostics are offered by Samsara’s solution. The customers are also offered a Mobile Driver App with Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data for routing and messaging.
