SmartWitness upgrades Insight’s LiveCam

August 30, 2019 Read time: 1 min

SmartWitness, a manufacturer of vehicle CCTV, is to expand Insight Mobile Data’s LiveCam solutions line.

Insight will now offer SmartWitness’ dashboard-mounted video camera as a combination in-cab video and GPS tracking solution for fleets looking to record driving events while also capturing real-time vehicle location and activity.

Doug Hawley, chief operating officer, at InSight, says adding a combination vehicle tracking and video unit to LiveCam “provides a simpler dashcam solution for fleets that don’t need multiple cameras mounted in the vehicle”.

SmartWitness’ CP2 model - which comes with Wi-Fi video transmission and telematics data - is expected to provide evidence of events leading up to and during a road traffic accident and offer instant notifications and videos of incidents.

“Working with SmartWitness helps us to provide solutions for those who don’t need video feeds from the sides or back of the vehicle, but still want to capture driving events and real-time location without a complicated install,” Hawley adds.

    November 20, 2015
    Expert psychologists have concluded that multi-tasking whilst driving is a myth – and the most dangerous of those driving multi-tasks is texting and talking on a mobile phone, according to a new report produced by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). The research focuses on the dangers involved when drivers try and engage in more than one task, indicating this can have a ‘detrimental’ effect on the quality and accuracy of driving performance.

Colin Sowman winds down his window to listen. It is not by accident that ITS International’s first MaaS Market conference outside London is being hosted in Atlanta. The event is being supported by Georgia State Road & Tollway Authority and the City of Atlanta – and again not without a reason as metro Atlanta is looking
