Teletrac Navman debuts IQ Camera for fleet owners

Teletrac Navman, an Irvine, California-based fleet management software developer, has launched its new IQ Camera, an artificial intelligence- (AI-) powered, dual-camera dash cam that is integrated with Teletrac’s TN360 fleet management software to give fleet owners a unified view of their video and telematics data so they can understand events and improve driver safety through informed coaching.

According to Teletrac, the fully connected IQ Camera uses sensors and video AI to review every minute of drive time and understand behavior. Utilizing the company’s TN360 software, the camera pulls driver performance data into a single location, giving fleet managers a full view of performance so they can implement reward programs and identify areas for improvement.

The company says the launch of the IQ Camera adds to its robust line of deeply integrated video telematics cameras and is an easy entry point for organizations that operate fleets of commercial vehicles, and that believe in the potential of data to enhance fleet performance and lower risk.

“The IQ Camera makes it easy for fleets to prioritize safety and protect drivers on the road,” Teletrac Head of Global Product Management and UX Mayank Sharma says. “This new solution complements the existing range of video telematics offerings that are now fully integrated into TN360. This gives customers the flexibility to choose the ideal camera solution that protects drivers, simplifies safety programs and streamlines coaching.”

Teletrac says the camera also allows fleets to be managed in real-time and takes coaching into the cab, with driver assistance and status monitoring. It has built-in Advanced Driver Assistance (ADAS) and Driver Status Monitoring (DSM) features that include forward collision, tailgating, distracted driving and drowsy driving, provide real-time feedback to drivers so they can make instant improvements.

The company adds the dual-camera system is highly configurable and provides added understanding of what has occurred with high quality footage before, during and after an event. Video data is automatically uploaded to the TN360 connected platform for immediate viewing so teams can identify high risk actions and provide transparent feedback to their drivers.

“It’s important for fleet owners to take action based on all of their data,” Sharma says. “By incorporating video into training, they can make a positive impact on operational performance and costs.”
