Geotab GO Focus AI dash cam family

Computer vision is a field of AI that enables computers to interpret and understand visual information from images and videos. In vehicle cameras, computer vision is used for tasks such as tasks like object detection and recognition. 

For fleets, edge computing means processing data, such as video footage, alerts, and sensor readings, directly within the vehicle, instead of sending everything to a central server. This enables faster response times for safety events, real-time alerts, and more efficient use of bandwidth.

Geotab offers the GO Focus family of dash cams, including GO Focus Plus with in-cab feedback, targeted coaching, and advanced event review, as well as GO Focus for road-facing video and privacy-focused recording during key events. These options provide flexible solutions to meet a wide range of fleet safety needs.

For additional requirements, the Geotab Marketplace features a broad selection of dash cam and ADAS solutions from leading partners, covering everything from dual road and driver-facing cameras to auxiliary setups for expanded coverage.

There are many reasons why fleet camera systems are important for commercial fleets. They can help:

• Save commercial businesses money by using video evidence for fraudulent claims and exonerating drivers

• Offer 360 degree operational visibility with in-cab and exterior cameras

• Identify harsh driving incidents to personalize driver coaching and increase driver engagement

• Reduce the number of collisions by sending instant alerts to drivers when they are lane drifting or driving too close to other vehicles

• Pick up on driver behaviors like cell phone use, smoking, eating or driver fatigue using AI

The advantage of Geotab’s dash cam solution is flexibility and choice. With the GO Focus family, fleets can select solutions tailored to their needs, such as in-cab alerts, event-based video recording and automated coaching features. Geotab also supports integration with a wide variety of third-party dash cams and advanced driver assistance systems through the Geotab Marketplace. Fleets can choose the camera solution that fits their operations best, while managing all video and telematics data in one unified platform. Existing camera hardware can also be supported in many cases, providing added flexibility for mixed fleets.

While each camera or video solution works differently, the general approach involves a connected camera (or series of cameras) that can capture video. When video is saved is determined based on a series of telematic or ADAS/DMS event triggers (i.e. tailgating, phone usage, rolling stops, speeding, etc.) that can be customized by fleet. The video is available for review via a UI platform that is integrated with MyGeotab. 

While each camera or video solution works differently generally you can select from the following 4 options: 

1. Snapshot and video – Records a snapshot and a video. 

2. Snapshot – Records a snapshot. 

3. Video – Records a video. 

4. Disabled – Does not record a snapshot or a video

Most fleet dash cam solutions allow for digital downloads of recordings, but each solution is different. To learn more about Geotab’s fleet dash cam solutions and their features, visit the Camera and ADAS page in the Geotab Marketplace.
