As fleets prepare for the year ahead, many are reevaluating the technology they rely on. Some are implementing video telematics for the first time, while others are expanding from dashcams to multi-camera systems to maximize visibility, operational insight, and cost efficiency.
With insurance costs rising, regulations tightening, and customers expecting greater transparency, choosing the right technology can directly impact safety, compliance, operational performance, and the overall cost of running a fleet.
While plug-and-play or app-based systems may seem convenient, they often fall short in demanding fleet environments. Hard-wired telematics provides the durability, accuracy, and reliability needed to protect a wide range of vehicles, machinery, and drivers, while helping reduce costly downtime and prevent avoidable incidents.
CameraMatics excels in this space—offering a flexible, adaptable solution designed to meet the needs of all commercial operations and scale with the business as it grows.
Built to last: durability and dependability
Critical safety systems in vehicles are built in and permanent because they must work reliably. The same principle applies to camera technology and telematics. Fleets operate in harsh conditions with constant vibration, extreme temperatures, long shifts, and unpredictable environments.
Hard-wired systems provide stability, staying powered, connected, and securely mounted—no accidental unplugging, no dead batteries, and no unexpected dropouts. CameraMatics hardware is purpose-built for these tough conditions. Devices are rugged, stable, and extensively tested to maintain consistent performance where consumer-grade or wireless alternatives may struggle.
While installation takes slightly more effort upfront, the long-term payoff is significant: fewer failures, fewer accidents, more complete visibility, and far less disruption to productivity.
Comprehensive insights through direct vehicle integration
One of the biggest advantages of hard-wired systems is their direct connection to the vehicle’s OBD-II port and OEM systems, providing accurate, real-time data on engine performance, fuel usage, idling, odometer readings, and other critical metrics.
CameraMatics consolidates this data into a single, unified platform, making it easy to interpret and act on. Fleet managers no longer need to switch between systems or search for context—everything is visible in one place, providing a complete, real-time view of operations. This enables faster, more informed decisions, improves safety, boosts efficiency, and reduces operational costs.
Protecting your data when it matters most
Hard-wired systems are secured inside the vehicle, making them far harder to tamper with—critical when footage is needed for compliance, insurance, or incident investigations.
CameraMatics goes further with encrypted data and secure cloud storage, ensuring fleets always know their information is accurate, protected, and available at the click of a button.
Reduce accidents with AI-powered video insights
What sets modern hard-wired systems apart is how they leverage the data they capture. By combining telematics with AI-powered cameras, CameraMatics provides a complete understanding of what happens on the road and inside the cab—offering clear context behind every incident, from harsh braking and collisions to high-risk behaviors.
With real-time coaching, drivers receive feedback in the moment, not weeks later during a review. This leads to immediate improvements in safety and reduces costs linked to insurance claims and preventable incidents.
Built for harsh, real-world environments
Construction sites, waste and recycling routes, utility work, and heavy logistics expose electronics to dust, impact, debris, vibration, and extreme temperatures. CameraMatics equipment is designed to withstand these conditions, keeping systems operational even in the toughest environments.
A scalable system that grows with your business
Modern fleets require more than a single dashcam or simple tracker—they need a connected ecosystem that evolves over time.
CameraMatics provides exactly that. Whether adding cameras, AI capabilities, cargo monitoring, asset tracking, or compliance tools, all components work together in one integrated platform. No patchwork, no bolt-ons, no fragmented experience.
Real-time camera health for safer fleets
A malfunctioning or obstructed camera is not just a technical issue—it’s a potential safety and compliance risk. CameraMatics treats every camera fault as a critical event, instantly flagging blocked lenses, damage, disconnections, or dirt. These alerts appear clearly on the Health Check dashboard, giving fleet managers immediate visibility and the ability to act before a problem escalates.
By addressing issues in real time, fleets maintain full visibility, reduce risk, and ensure evidence is always captured when it matters most.
The same proactive approach applies to predictive vehicle maintenance, helping fleets prevent downtime and avoid costly disruptions.
Go live immediately — even during fleet rollouts
Rolling out new technology across a fleet can be frustrating when vehicles must wait for full installation to go live. With CameraMatics, every device starts transmitting data as soon as it’s connected—whether the vehicle is in the yard, on the road, or midway through a fleet-wide rollout.
This approach minimizes downtime, eliminates rollout delays, and provides instant access to critical video and telematics data. Being hard-wired ensures continuous power and stable connectivity—no wireless dropouts, no dead batteries, and no lost footage—so fleets operate safely and efficiently from day one.
Lower total cost of ownership — for the life of your fleet
Hard-wired systems last longer, are less likely to fail, and deliver more accurate data. This translates into fewer accidents, lower insurance costs, better maintenance planning, and more efficient fleet operations.
CameraMatics adds even more value by consolidating multiple fleet technologies into a single platform. And we’re proud to be a global strategic partner and reseller for Geotab. Together, we are the only fleet operations solution you will ever need.
The foundation for a safer, smarter fleet
Hard-wired telematics isn’t just “better tech”—it’s the foundation fleets need to operate safely, efficiently, and confidently. CameraMatics builds on that foundation with AI-driven insights, smart video, proactive alerts, and simple workflows.
For any fleet looking to reduce risk, improve safety, and build long-term resilience, a hard-wired solution delivers more—and CameraMatics delivers it best. Looking to upgrade your tech? Talk to us today
