A smart business fleet dashcam is a connected in-vehicle camera with artificial intelligence that detects risky driver behaviour and dangerous road situations in real time. Unlike a consumer dashcam that simply records the road to an SD card, a professional fleet dashcam includes a 4G module that automatically uploads events to a cloud platform, a GPS that time-stamps each clip with location and speed, and an on-board video analysis algorithm. Fleeti Vision provides all three natively, with a dual-lens road and cab camera and 256 GB of local storage plus cloud storage for events.

An AI dashcam works in three complementary ways. First, in-cab prevention: the presence of the device and regular debriefs change driver behaviour for the long term. Second, video evidence: the time-stamped, geolocated clip quickly clears your driver when the other party is at fault, avoiding an at-fault claim and protecting the fleet's no-claims record. Third, insurance negotiation: detected-event data and the measurable drop in risky driving feed the discussion with your broker. Equipped companies report up to 50% fewer accidents and 70% fewer false claims.

Yes, provided you follow the framework set by the GDPR, the CNIL (French data protection authority), French labour law and the Highway Code. The GDPR requires an explicit purpose (road safety, accident prevention, evidence in disputes), a limited retention period for footage, data minimisation and prior notice to anyone filmed. French labour law requires individual notice to each employee, consultation of employee representatives (CSE) before rollout and a mention in the company's internal rules. The CNIL recommends not recording audio continuously, favouring event-based recording over permanent recording, and prohibiting any use of footage for individual monitoring unrelated to safety. Fleeti Vision is configured by default to meet these requirements: microphone off, event-based recording, and recording rules and retention period set by your administrator.

The difference comes down to three criteria: connectivity, on-board intelligence and platform integration. Consumer models sold for 50 to 300 euros record the road on a loop to a local SD card, with no 4G, no AI and no integration. To retrieve a video, you have to remove the camera and read the card on a computer, which is unworkable across a fleet. On the professional connected side, Fleeti Vision sits alongside providers such as Samsara, Geotab, Webfleet, Verizon Connect and MiX Vision: built-in 4G and GPS, automatic cloud upload, on-board AI and native integration with a fleet management platform. What sets Fleeti Vision apart is that it brings the dashcam, telematics, fleet administration and tax into a single tool, whereas most of these providers only cover video telematics.

Yes, that is the whole point of a connected dashcam. Event clips are uploaded to the cloud automatically as soon as they are detected. For any other clip stored locally on the 256 GB, you request it from the platform and the video is transferred over 4G. No trip to the vehicle, no downtime, no memory card to remove. You can also open a live stream from a vehicle, or display up to 100 cameras at once for multi-vehicle monitoring.

Yes. The 8 to 36 V power range makes the Fleeti Vision Dashcam compatible with an entire mixed fleet: light vehicles, vans, trucks, coaches, self-propelled construction machinery and equipment with a 12 or 24 V circuit. The configuration adapts to the job: on a service van, the standard dual lens is enough; on a truck, you add up to 8 cameras through the MDVR recorder to cover the cargo area and blind spots; on construction machinery, you usually combine the road camera, a waterproof exterior camera and the i-Button key for operator identification.

The Fleeti Vision Dashcam V8 natively supports up to 2 additional cameras on top of the dual road and cab lens, giving 3 simultaneous video streams. For heavy configurations such as coaches, refrigerated trucks or complex machinery, the MDVR recorder, available on quotation, supports up to 8 cameras at once. Additional cameras come in an infrared version with night vision for the cargo compartment, and in a waterproof exterior version for the sides, rear, fuel tank or a machine's blind spot. Every camera feeds the same interface, with no extra tools or subscriptions.

Yes, the Fleeti Vision Dashcam is dedicated hardware, separate from the standard telematics device. It comes ready to use with a 4G SIM card, built-in GPS, 256 GB local storage and an 8 to 36 V power supply. Installation is carried out by a certified Fleeti technician, with no change to the main electrical circuit. The data then flows into the same platform as your other fleet data: location, fuel, maintenance and drivers. Your fleet managers do not need to switch between several tools.

The cost combines several items: on-board hardware, installation by a certified technician, the cloud platform subscription and the 4G SIM card. In the French market, entry prices usually range from 25 to 60 euros per vehicle per month for an all-inclusive subscription, depending on configuration and fleet size. Return on investment is measured in three ways: fewer at-fault claims, a lower average cost per claim, and renegotiated insurance premiums. Most Fleeti customers break even in under a year.

Installing a Fleeti Vision dashcam takes half a day per vehicle on average. It includes wiring to the 8 to 36 V power supply, mounting and aligning the dual-lens camera, activating the 4G SIM card and testing on the platform. For multi-camera configurations with an infrared housing, waterproof exterior cameras or an MDVR recorder with up to 8 channels, allow a full day. Fleeti schedules the rollout in vehicle batches so all your assets are never off the road at the same time.
