FAQ: The Driveri Camera

The Driveri smart camera is a significant step up from the dash cams you’ll see in taxis, ride shares, and personal vehicles. The answers to the Frequently Asked Questions will show why it’s a great option for commercial vehicles and fleets.

How much footage can the Driveri smart camera store?

The device itself holds about 50 hours of recorded video and records whenever the ignition is on. Any uploaded video, either manually requested or due to driving performance, will be available for 3 months after the video is uploaded.

Can I watch what my drivers are up to in real time?

Yes, you can livestream critical events in real time at an additional cost.

Also, we view Driveri as a positive coaching tool, so you can set it up to only see triggering events, like running a stop sign, speeding, a high G-force rating that might indicate an accident, hard braking, or other infractions.

Positive and Negative Driving Events

Why not just use a regular camera?

Most dashcams have just one lens that points forward. That can be adequate for some needs, especially in personal vehicles. Commercial vehicle dash cams need to offer more to be effective. Here are a few examples:

  • The ability to record, store, and access triggering events saves time and effort. If your vehicle is in an accident, you’ll save time and ensure that the footage is available. With most dash cams, fleet employees would have to physically get the storage medium (often an SD card), scroll through it, find the relevant clips, and store them in a secure place. Driveri handles this automatically.
  • Multiple views offer more context to any potential accidents. 
  • A regular dash cam can only react to accidents. Driveri and its coaching features will help your drivers prevent accidents. They’ll get fact-based feedback about their driving habits – and not just the bad ones. Driveri also notes safe, courteous driving. Driveri and its Green Zone scoring system give drivers a score from 0-1,000. It automatically analyzes every moment on the road, deducting and adding points based on each driver’s behavior. That helps your employees improve.

Here’s even more information about the differences between regular dash cams and AI-equipped smart cameras like Driveri.

Is Driveri always on?

Driveri is always on when the ignition is on. It can also record up to 10 hours while the ignition is off, depending on the privacy settings specified by the client. After the 10 hours are up, it’s not possible to trigger recording until the engine starts up again.

This will drain the vehicle’s battery, though, so be sure customers are aware of the potential for dead batteries. In Privacy Mode, the device will only activate during a g-force event. Fleet managers can detect theft this way when trucks are parked.

Can I turn the driver view off?

The driver-facing view is optional. Your management team can turn it off fleet-wide, but not for individual vehicles.

Drivers can, however, use a bag that’s available for sale to cover the entire camera. This is for entering sensitive areas that might not allow cameras.

There’s also a plastic piece that drivers can put over the inward-facing camera with your permission.

How much is the Driveri camera?

We have several options, including camera-only and GPS bundles. There are a few variables, so connecting with a GPS Insight fleet expert can ensure you get the most accurate quote for your needs. Get a quote now

Is there a contract requirement?

Yes, GPS Insight requires a contract for customers to use the Driveri smart camera.

Can the driver get in-cab alerts?

You can opt in to alerts for speeding, tailgating and distracted driving. These can be enabled upon purchase (listed as a configuration on the estimate) or after purchase by coordinating with our support team. Cameras cannot be enabled one at a time, but are enabled/disabled for the entire account.

How does Driveri transmit footage to the cloud?

It uses the T-Mobile network and a 1GB/month data plan. We can offer other networks, as well. Each camera is equipped with a SIM card.

Can I get a video that wasn’t recorded as a triggering event?

Yes, as long as it hasn’t been overwritten on the device. The accompanying web app contains a submission request process to get videos on 1-minute increments.

However, customers are limited to 10 requests per camera, per month.
