View live video from the dashcam

The dashcam has two lenses, and they can be differentiated from each other in the cloud as follows:

  • Front camera: road-facing lens placed to see the road in front of the vehicle

  • Rear camera: in-cab lens placed to see the driver and the vehicle cabin

The use of the cloud allows the fleet manager to view the road and the cabin as the vehicle moves.

The road-facing lens streams up to twenty four frames per second. The in-cab lens streams fifteen frames per second.

Both the road-facing and in-cab lenses stream for thirty seconds, and then give you the option to continue live streaming. This is hard coded and cannot be changed.

Note

To view live video, the dashcam must be online.
