Understanding Professional Vehicle Surveillance and Dash Cams

Our streets are getting more crowded by the day-cyclists, delivery drivers, Ubers, trucks, and everyday commuters all sharing the same roads. For fleet managers, this surge in traffic can be a double-edged sword. Sure, more vehicles on the road can mean more business, but it also ramps up the risk of accidents, disputes, and other incidents. Whether you manage taxis, delivery vans, or long-haul trucks, equipping your fleet with reliable surveillance is key to protecting both your drivers and your bottom line.

At BrickHouse Security, we’ve got you covered with our VizTrack dash cams. These professional-grade vehicle cameras offer multiple options to ensure your fleet is monitored and protected 24/7. Let’s break down how each VizTrack camera works and how they can help improve your fleet’s efficiency.

VizTrack Dash Cam Options: A Solution for Every Need

The VizTrack line offers three distinct dash cam setups, each designed to meet different business needs. Here’s a quick overview:

1. SD Card Dash Cam

This option is perfect if you’re looking for a simple, straightforward dash cam setup. The SD card camera records all footage directly to an onboard memory card. To review the footage, you simply remove the SD card from the device and view it on a computer or mobile device. You can easily sift through the video to find the moments that matter most and analyze events frame-by-frame if needed.

This is a reliable, cost-effective way to ensure all incidents are recorded and ready for review when necessary.

2. SmartMail Dash Cam

If you need a bit more automation and connectivity, the SmartMail dash cam is a great choice. It communicates with a designated email account over a 3G/4G cellular network, sending you video clips and location data after key events. This means you don’t have to comb through hours of uneventful footage. Instead, important moments are flagged and delivered to you automatically. Whether it’s a sudden brake, a crash, or another event, you’ll get the video and GPS data straight to your inbox.

This option is ideal for fleet managers who want to keep an eye on their vehicles without having to review footage in real-time.

3. Telematics Dash Cam

For those who need full real-time visibility, the telematics dash cam is the most advanced option. Using a 3G network (just like SmartMail), it connects directly to the BrickHouse Security Tracking Platform. This allows for live video streaming and real-time tracking of events as they happen. You can even set up geofences—virtual boundaries that trigger alerts when crossed—and request video clips on demand.

This is the ultimate solution for managers who want real-time oversight of their fleet, with all the data at their fingertips.

Why Dash Cams Are a Must for Your Fleet

No matter which option you choose, all of our VizTrack dash cams offer significant benefits. They don’t just help in documenting accidents; they can also improve overall driver safety, ensure accountability, and even reduce insurance costs by providing solid evidence in the event of a claim. Additionally, real-time alerts and video tracking can help prevent incidents before they happen by keeping drivers on their toes and ensuring compliance with safety protocols.

Our VizTrack cameras help increase the professionalism and efficiency of your fleet, making sure that every event—big or small is properly recorded, reviewed, and addressed.
