Verizon claims its Integrated Video product uses artificial intelligence to capture and automatically classify video according to an event’s severity while also utilising machine learning to help businesses improve their driver behaviour such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration and hard cornering. 

According to Verizon, the speed overlay feature enables operations managers to determine if the speed of the vehicle in the video clip is the factor that caused the event. A video on demand capability allows managers to request 40-second increments of available footage.

The smart video starts recording as soon as the engine is turned on and starts to review driver behaviour triggers such as hard braking, hard cornering or rapid acceleration. It also identifies collisions and dangerous driving behaviour that fleet managers can review on their mobile or desktop to determine next steps.
