Live Streaming Truck Cameras

LIVE STREAMING

View Live Streaming Video

Live streaming is just that. 3rd Eye provides up to eight camera feeds that can be accessed remotely – that all show what’s happening around the vehicle in real-time. Cameras can be strategically placed around the vehicle to give viewers a three hundred and sixty-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. A common use for live streaming is the camera feeds provide a virtual ride along for any fleet, as the viewer gets to see what the driver sees, as well as what is being captured via the other cameras. This is particularly valuable for driver and operator training purposes, as well as to be used for driver coaching. This feature is particularly valuable for post-accident fault investigation. Having the ability to download accident footage quickly can be the difference between being cited or being exonerated.
