Commercial Vehicle Camera System

Yes! Our vehicle cameras include a touch screen dash monitor that is mounted near the driver’s line of sight. Very similar to a back up camera which allows the driver to glance at the monitor to see what the cameras are seeing in real time. With this touch screen monitor, drivers can easily toggle through all of the cameras views and/or set up split screens. This is especially helpful when navigating in tight spaces and around difficult terrain!

Yes, our cameras feature night vision mode which enables an IR function as well as an auto electronic shutter and auto white balance. These night vision features assist with viewing night footage nearly as clear as day.

If needed, our vehicle camera platform can support up to 8 cameras per vehicle max. Generally, we recommend at least a configuration of 4 to 5 cameras per vehicle. With a 5 camera configuration, trucks and vehicles will have coverage of all 4 sides, including a driver facing dashboard camera that faces the driver. 4 camera configs will only have a front facing dash cam which prevents video recording of the the driver.

Our standard X3 Core has 8-channels which supports 6 A/V cameras + 2 additional IPC cameras.

It really depends on the camera configuration per vehicle. Example: With skEYEvue, a (4) camera configuration can hold up to 350 – 400 hours of loop recording surveillance on a 1-terabyte hard drive. If there are more than 4 cameras, then it will take up more space, which reduces the hours of storage. On the other hand, if there are less than (4) cameras, then more hours of footage can be stored.

*We also offer upgradable storage options for more space, if needed.

Loop recording is the process of continually recording without any stoppage. This means if a surveillance DVR stores 300 hours of footage, then the oldest recorded video footage will be recorded over by the newest footage. The recording loop process never ends. The skEYEvue system also uses the loop recording process.

The current version of the skEYEvue X3 Core DVR does not require SD cards. Alternatively, the X3 Core uses an internal SSD hard drive. However the next iteration of the X3 will include a SD card slot for triggered event recording in the event of a catastrophic accident. For instance, if the SSD hard drive fails due to a bad car accident, the SD card slot will have backup footage from the trigger event. This new SD card feature should be released in late 2021 / early 2022.

Parking mode is when a camera system continues to record, even if the vehicle is parked with the ignition off. skEYEvue does have an option to initiate parking mode. By default, our surveillance system records for 45 minutes before shutting down with ignition off. If requested, we do have an option for extending parking mode up to 23 hours and 59 minutes max.

A Vehicle Blackbox DVR is an extremely important electronic component of a commercial truck camera system. It is a rugged device that protects the data stored on your vehicle’s recording and telematics system. The hard drive or SD card within the blackbox will store video footage collected from the vehicle or truck surveillance system much like our skEYEwatch X3 Core. – Let’s say there was an accident causing total destruction to a vehicle or truck! Law-enforcement investigators want to search for the vehicle’s blackbox, so they can investigate what caused the accident. The data and surveillance footage stored on the vehicle blackbox DVR will also help with insurance investigations and settling claims. It also becomes an extremely important fleet safety and driver coaching tool, especially if the data shows that a particular accident could’ve been avoided.
