DriveCam

DriveCam is the video telematics and driver safety programme from Lytx, a long-established provider of fleet safety technology. The product tackles one of the largest cost and risk drivers for commercial fleets: collisions, near misses and risky behaviours such as distraction, mobile phone use, failure to wear seat belts, rolling stops and following too closely. DriveCam combines in-vehicle dash cameras with artificial intelligence and machine vision that analyse the road and the cab in real time, detecting unsafe behaviours and triggering in-cab alerts so that drivers can correct themselves immediately. Relevant video clips are captured and uploaded, and Lytx augments automated detection with human review to classify events and reduce false positives. The underlying philosophy is behavioural coaching rather than surveillance: by turning objective video evidence into targeted, timely coaching, fleets aim to change habits, lower collision frequency and protect drivers against unjustified claims.

The platform provides a web-based safety programme where managers prioritise events, review footage, assign coaching sessions and track improvement over time through driver scorecards and risk trends. Exoneration video helps defend drivers and companies in disputes and insurance claims, while forward-facing footage provides context for incidents on the road. Lytx combines video with GPS tracking, telematics and compliance capabilities, and the wider Lytx platform can integrate with existing telematics providers, electronic logging devices and fleet management systems through partnerships and APIs. Its large database of driving data is used to refine the machine vision models and benchmark risk. DriveCam is deployed across trucking and logistics, distribution, waste and recycling, utilities, construction, field services, public sector and passenger transport fleets, from mid-sized operators to very large enterprises. Deployment involves professional or self-installation of cameras and configuration of the cloud programme, along with training for safety managers and coaches.
