A 4G connected dual-facing dashcam that streams live to the EM8 Portal, auto-uploads clips the moment something happens, and flags driver fatigue or distraction in real time — all native to Tracking Guardian, no extra login.
Most dashcams are a glorified SD card with a lens. This is a connected vehicle camera — the kind insurers and fleet managers actually want — fully integrated into the EM8 Portal you already use for tracking, jobs, and driver management.
Forward-facing wide-angle lens captures the road. Optional in-cab lens watches the driver. Both stream over 4G so footage isn't trapped on an SD card.
Open Tracking Guardian, tap a vehicle, watch the live feed in the browser. No app to install, no SD card to retrieve. Useful for incident verification and lone-worker welfare checks.
The device decides what matters. A harsh brake, a crash, a forward collision warning — the clip uploads automatically, indexed against the trip and the driver, before you've even had the phone call.
Onboard processing detects fatigue, distraction, phone use, smoking, and unsafe following distance. Alerts surface in the portal in seconds — not in next month's report.
The footage isn't the problem — getting to it is. Every minute spent retrieving SD cards, downloading clips, and matching incidents to drivers is a minute the insurer is waiting and the claim is hardening against you.
Twelve features that together turn raw video into something insurers, fleet managers, and HR teams actually use.
Tap a vehicle in the portal, see the live front view in your browser within a couple of seconds. Useful for incident verification, theft response, and driver welfare checks.
Onboard AI calculates the gap to the vehicle ahead and alerts before impact. Repeated FCW events become a coaching signal in the driver scoreboard.
Detects unintentional lane drift — a strong fatigue and distraction indicator on motorway routes. Logged as an event against the trip.
The optional in-cab lens detects eye closure, yawning, and head-down posture. Alerts surface before tiredness becomes an accident.
Flags phone-to-ear, looking away from the road, and smoking while driving. Configurable per fleet — set what you want to be told about.
Hard impact triggers an instant alert, a buffered clip from before and after the moment, and a notification to your control room — within seconds of the event.
Acceleration, braking, and cornering thresholds calibrated per vehicle class. Each event ships with the clip, the GPS point, and a coaching tag.
Continuous loop recording to onboard SD storage. Event clips additionally upload to the portal so they're never overwritten or lost.
Need footage from yesterday's 14:32 incident? Request it from the portal — the device pulls the clip from local storage and uploads on demand.
It's not just a camera — it's a tracker too. GPS, speed, heading, and ignition feed directly into Tracking Guardian's existing trip and journey engine.
Every view, download, and share of a clip is logged with user, timestamp, and reason. Built for insurance disclosure and GDPR Article 30.
Signal strength, SD card status, last contact, firmware version — all visible per device. Faults raise tickets in the EM8 Portal automatically.
The forward-facing channel watches the road. The optional in-cab channel watches the driver. Together they cover every meaningful safety event in a single, normalised event stream.
The deployment flow mirrors the rest of Tracking Guardian — provision in the portal, fit the device, and footage starts flowing.
Add the device's serial to your stock in the EM8 Portal. Assign it to a customer and vehicle when you're ready.
Mount behind the rear-view mirror, hardwire to permanent + ignition + earth. Twenty minutes per vehicle.
Device powers up, connects over 4G, registers itself against the assigned vehicle, and starts streaming GPS.
Loop recording runs continuously. ADAS and DMS engines watch in real time. Events trigger clip uploads.
Events show in the portal feed, alerts hit the right people, and clips are one click away — indexed by driver, trip, and time.
Dashcam Guardian shares the same data model, the same scoreboard, the same driver records, and the same billing as the rest of Tracking Guardian. Footage doesn't live in a different silo — it lives next to the trip it came from.
Dashcam events plug straight into Tracking Guardian's scoreboard with configurable weighting. Forward collision warnings, distraction events, and harsh manoeuvres all influence the driver's overall score — alongside the existing speeding and harsh-driving metrics.
The incident drawer in Tracking Guardian shows the GPS trail, the speed profile, the road context, and now the dashcam clip — all on the same timeline. No tab-switching, no clip retrieval, no "give me ten minutes to find it".
Drivers using the EM8 HQ mobile app can review their own dashcam events — promoting self-coaching rather than top-down management. Managers control what's visible to whom.
When an event happens during an active job (delivered through EM8 Core FSM), the clip is auto-attached to the job record. Useful for delivery proof, attendance disputes, and incident-during-service evidence.
If you operate vehicles and care about safety, claims, or coaching — this is for you. Some of the operations getting the most out of Dashcam Guardian today:
Protect engineers on call-outs, evidence response times, and capture footage of attempted vehicle break-ins at sites.
Lower insurance premiums, reduce at-fault claim exposure, and coach younger drivers using their own footage.
Prove drop-off attendance, defend against fraudulent claims, and monitor multi-drop driving patterns.
Welfare-check engineers visually, with consent, and respond fast if a vehicle goes off-route or stops unexpectedly.
Add Dashcam Guardian to your Tracking Guardian deployment and turn every vehicle in your fleet into a connected safety asset — visible, recordable, and accountable from one portal.
