Dashcam (Dash Camera)

A fleet dashcam is a vehicle-mounted camera that records video of the road, and in some models the driver's cabin, so a fleet can review events and settle disputes.

What is Dashcam (Dash Camera)?

Fleet dashcams record continuously or save clips when an event triggers, such as harsh braking, a collision or a speeding alert. Single-lens units face the road, and dual-facing units add a cabin camera. Footage is stored on the device and uploaded over cellular or Wi-Fi, either automatically for events or on request. Paired with GPS and speed data, a clip shows what happened and where, which helps clear drivers in disputes, support insurance claims and coach driving habits. Rules on recording drivers vary by country and state, so a fleet needs a written recording policy and driver notice. Traxelio offers dashcam evidence as an optional addition to the fleet workspace, reviewed beside GPS, trip and driver context.

How it works

  1. The camera records the road, and the cabin on dual-facing models.
  2. A sensor or alert, such as harsh braking or an impact, marks a clip.
  3. The clip uploads to the platform over cellular or Wi-Fi.
  4. A manager reviews it beside GPS, speed and trip data.
  5. The fleet uses it to coach the driver, settle a dispute or support a claim.

Key facts

  • Gives drivers and insurers evidence when a collision is disputed
  • Shows the road context behind harsh braking and speeding events
  • Turns coaching into a conversation about a specific clip
  • Works beside GPS and trip data in one workspace

Frequently Asked Questions

Rules vary by country and state, especially for cabin video and audio. Fleets usually need a written policy, driver notice and in some places consent. Check local law before you enable a cabin camera.
No. A dashcam records video. A GPS tracker records location, speed and trips. They work best together, because a clip gains context from the route and speed behind it.
