PowerFleet has launched Vista, an in-vehicle video solution that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze and proactively manage risky driving situations across fleets.

The global demand for dashboard and 360-degree camera technology is growing due to a considerable rise in the number of vehicle related accidents, thefts, and “nuclear verdicts” (jury awards of more than $10 million) in the trucking industry, PowerFleet officials said in a press release.

Vista delivers real-time, high-definition video from both road and driver facing cameras to bolster safety and training programs, help exonerate drivers, prevent accidents, and lower insurance costs, company officials said. The Vista video platform has the ability to auto-detect unsafe driving conditions while delivering real-time driver audio feedback and warnings to help correct risky driving behaviors as they occur.

Vista can operate stand-alone or as an integrated part of any fleet management system. It leverages the latest processor technology for edge-processing and future proofing and can be installed with minimal configuration.

Vista wireless connectivity supports 4G LTE and has built-in Wi-Fi that supports auxiliary cameras for 360-degree views. Operations managers can stream live video, download video events, and access all cameras through a secure and comprehensive portal. 

Other key features includes a parking mode in which cameras will record any events that occur following sudden jolts when the vehicle is turned off; and event-based notifications for harsh acceleration or braking, distracted driving traits, harsh cornering and speeding.
