Many fleet managers know that installing an intelligent video dash cam solution in their vehicles can help to proactively avoid incidents before they occur, improve driver safety, and increase visibility into fleet activity. So why do some have yet to integrate this technology? Typically, it is due to cost. Buying and installing devices, training employees on how to use them, and monitoring device health takes times and money. Some fleets will go through the time and trouble only to have advances in technology quickly make their dash cam solution obsolete. That is why it is important to find a video dash cam, like the Surfsight® solution, that can meet your needs today and in the future.
Built with a powerful processor for real-time results
An important part of any dash cam is its processor. A processor needs to be fast to analyze data in real time. At the core of the Surfsight solution is an octa-core processor that is capable of edge processing, which is when data is processed directly on a device. This eliminates the need to send data back and forth to a server to be analyzed, which can sometimes take several minutes. Edge processing allows for our machine vision and artificial intelligence (MV+AI) technology to identify risky driving behaviors and send alerts to drivers in real time, enabling them to correct their behavior before an incident occurs*.
Less powerful solutions cannot provide the same quick response rate, leaving managers to review video footage only after something has already gone wrong. The Surfsight solution’s real-time alerts empower drivers to play a proactive role in fleet safety.
A cost-effective video telematics solution also requires a fast processor that allows new features to be added on top of existing ones without compromising speed. This helps your system grow with your business, and eliminates the needs to replace your dash cam platform every few years in order to obtain the latest features.
Easy to integrate with other solutions
The Surfsight platform was built with an open API architecture that allows it to integrate seamlessly with other telematics solutions. Cloud-based updates make it easy to get the newest features and upgrades. Benefits of the Surfsight API include:
- Easy to integrate with your current telematics stack
- Easy access to data—the Surfsight cloud API includes all device management overhead, data management, and connectivity
- Scalability to grow with the needs of your fleet as you add more vehicles or regulations change
The Surfsight API is actively managed and updated, providing fleet managers with new upgrades and innovations as they are available. When new features are released, there are no costly or complicated hardware updates required as upgrades are added easily through Wi-Fi, keeping your device current at no extra cost.
Grows with your fleet’s needs
One of the benefits of using the Surfsight solution is that technology upgrades are available without having to buy new hardware. Your investment will continuously protect your fleet using the latest smart features. As legislation or business requirements change, these settings can be deployed or removed to one or all dash cams in your fleet.
Advanced risk detection that becomes smarter over time
The Surfsight solution, backed by Lytx®, is powered by an unmatched volume of high-quality data that is combined with highly accurate, AI-based risk monitoring to deliver precise driver behavior data, giving fleet managers invaluable insights into the risk profile of their fleets. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are providing new data every day, strengthening our proprietary technology as it is constantly learning, refining, and improving its precision. As new AI algorithms are added, your dash cam will become smarter over time, helping you to keep your drivers and fleet safer, all at no additional cost.
*The MV+AI technology is a driver aid only. Drivers should never wait for a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident. The MV+AI distraction detection and alerting technology does not collect, store or use any biometric identifiers or biometric information (e.g., scans of facial geometry) to detect distracted driving behaviors.
