3-channel dash cams: visibility where it matters, protection when it counts

Posted 15 Aug 2025

If you’re looking for dash cams for your vans, trucks, or company vehicles, you’re probably thinking about a forward-facing camera — and that’s a solid start. But here’s the thing: over 70% of accidents happen at the sides or rear of vehicles. So, relying on just a front view? It leaves your drivers, vehicles, and business vulnerable. 

Flexible and adaptable for real world operations 

Our GeniePro 3-channel dash cam stands out for one simple reason: flexibility. You get an AI-powered forward-facing camera — plus two additional cameras that can be installed wherever your fleet needs extra visibility. 

“CameraMatics was the only company who listened to our needs and structured what we needed accordingly” Chris Lively, Fleet Director, CW Wright  

For flatbed trucks or recovery vehicles, side or rear cameras can help to monitor towing or loading operations. This real-time footage provides clear evidence that work was done correctly and helps prove no damage occurred during handling. 

For field service fleets, cameras can cover side doors, rear doors, or cargo areas, helping keep your tools and materials secure while providing clear footage to prevent fraud or theft and exonerate drivers in the event of an accident.  

Then there’s the driver-facing camera. We get it — some drivers worry it’s an invasion of privacy. But it’s all about safety, not surveillance. This camera spots signs of fatigue, distraction, phone use, or smoking — helping drivers catch risky habits early. 

With fatigue and distraction contributing to 1 in 3 road collisions in the UK, those real-time alerts can literally save lives.  

It’s also worth noting that we do not mandate a driver-facing camera. You can choose to include it — or you can leave it out entirely. With most dash cams that have a built-in driver-facing camera you can only disable but not remove, GeniePro gives you control.  

AI-powered dash cams proactively preventing accidents 

Unlike traditional dash cams that only record footage after an incident, the GeniePro’s AI-powered system works to prevent accidents before they happen. With real-time risk detection and integrated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), your fleet is protected by technology that reacts faster than any human can. 

Forward collision warnings, pedestrian alerts, tailgating notices — these features give drivers the heads-up they need, exactly when they need it. 

Think of ADAS as a second pair of eyes that never tires. Imagine a lorry navigating a busy city street when a child suddenly darts out from between parked cars. The pedestrian alert instantly flashes a warning and sounds an in-cab audio alert, giving the driver the split-second advantage needed to hit the brakes. 

Or picture a driver on a long motorway journey. The tailgating notice detects when they’re following the vehicle ahead too closely, prompting a subtle alert that encourages safer spacing. These real-time, proactive interventions save lives and stop devastating incidents before they even happen. 

And if you choose to include the driver-facing camera, it keeps watch inside the cab too — detecting fatigue, distractions, phone use, and smoking to catch risky behaviours early. 

Cut costs, reduce claims 

Insurance companies want proof you’re actually reducing risk – safe driving alone isn’t enough anymore. That’s where the GeniePro really pays off. 

Clear, actionable footage paired with telematics data not only helps prevent accidents, it also gives insurers the proof they want to reward you with better premiums. 

The result? Fewer incidents, fewer claims, and lower premiums.  

With instant access to driver behaviour insights, you can easily spot risky habits—like harsh braking or sudden acceleration—and coach your team to drive smarter and more efficiently. Safer roads and lower costs? That’s a win-win. 

“Having multiple cameras on our HGV fleet has literally saved us millions on bogus claims, bogus incidents and fraudulent accidents” John Moran, Director, Flannery Plant hire 

The sweet spot between individual cameras and 360-degree coverage 

Not every business needs — or can justify — a full 360-degree camera system, but many require more than one camera on their vehicles. That’s where GeniePro’s 3-channel dash cam shines. It gives you a wider view and better protection without the complexity or cost of a full multi-camera system. 

For many fleets, it’s the perfect middle ground: more context, greater visibility, and better protection — all while keeping costs low. From vans and flatbeds to lorries and light commercial vehicles, the GeniePro provides coverage where you need it most. 

Proof of work and peace of mind 

Having a 3-channel dash cam means your business can deliver real proof — proof of delivery, proof of service, and proof of safety. 

For field service teams, it’s an easy way to confirm when crews arrived, what work was done, and how long it took. That means fewer disputes, quicker resolutions, and stronger customer trust. 

In logistics, cameras focused on cargo or loading areas provide clear evidence that goods were handled and loaded properly. This cuts down costly claims for damage or loss and shields your drivers from false accusations — boosting accountability at every stage. 

When proof of work matters, GeniePro gives you instant access to secure, easy-to-navigate footage that shows exactly what happened — no guesswork, no waiting, just facts. 

Real-time data at the click of a button 

Forget about unplugging SD cards to access your footage. With GeniePro, all video, telematics data, GPS info, and driver scores are delivered straight to the CameraMatics dashboard and app in real time.
Whether you’re investigating a near-miss, verifying a delivery, or analysing driver behaviour, the insights you need are always right at your fingertips — in the office or on the go. 

Elevate your fleet’s safety with tailored, real-time protection 

Fleet safety isn’t one-size-fits-all — and with three cameras to choose from, neither is the GeniePro. With flexible camera placement and AI-powered insights tailored to your needs, you get unmatched protection and peace of mind.
