Drive cam watches truckers


The DriveCam video recorder has a lens focused on the road
ahead and one on the driver, to deliver irrefutable proof 
of how accidents occur.

Keeping an eye on drivers all the time


DRIVE Report has launched DriveCam, a United States-based system that couples smart in-vehicle video technology with comprehensive driver-behaviour analysis and Internet-based driver profiling and fleet-reporting software.
Louis Swart, managing director of Drive Report, explained that the system provides daily video evidence of all untoward vehicle movements, pinpointing exactly where drivers are failing to comply with required standards, be they legislative or company specific.
This audio-visual evidence enables fleet owners to mitigate their risk through driver coaching and swift resolution of third-party accident claims. His driver-behaviour management company recently installed the 13 000th DriveCam unit in a leading truck fleet. “Our order book has never looked better, despite the somewhat constricted financial climate. Due to the ongoing demand, Drive Report has employed new personnel to ­service and support our DriveCam customers, effectively doubling our staff compliment over the last 12 months from 15 to 32 people,” said Swart.
