    Lytx’s state-of-the-art DriveCam camera goes beyond traditional dash cams by pairing machine vision with artificial intelligence (MV+AI) to accurately identify and categorize the moments that matter, allowing drivers and fleet managers to identify risk as it occurs. Using the latest dash cam technology, the SF300 can help quickly detect and deter distracted driving, the biggest safety issue on our roads today. Lytx’s rugged, reliable hardware does it all in a single, integrated device that simplifies installation and eliminates connection issues.

    The DriveCam camera can be configured to offer:

    • INTEGRATED MV+AI: Advanced Machine Vision and Artificial Intelligence capture and accurately categorize risky driving behaviors
    • REAL-TIME, IN-CAB ALERTS: Light and audio alerts notify drivers of their risky behaviors, helping them stay focused on the road (audio alerts available on SF300 only)
    • LIVE STREAMING: See what's happening in and around vehicles in near real time
    • BUILT-IN DRIVER ID SOLUTION: Quickly identify which drivers are using your vehicles at different times without installing additional equipment
    • WIDE-ANGLE DUAL LENS: Our wide angle, dual lens shares the big picture — on the road and inside your vehicle
    • LOW-LIGHT VISIBILITY: An 8-lumen infrared light provides clear visibility, even at night
    • CONTINUAL VIDEO: Records up to 100 hours of reliable, continual video
    • RISK DETECTION WITHOUT RECORDING: Manage distracted driving and other unwanted behaviors without recording video of the driver
    • SUPPORT FOR SIDE AND BACK-UP VIEWS: Connect up to four additional cameras using the Lytx Hub™ Adapter and additional SF-Series or third party auxiliary cameras
    • ECM CONNECTED: Captures speed, fuel, and vehicle data directly from your vehicle
    • MANUAL RECORD BUTTONS: Enables your drivers to proactively record video when needed
    • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE: Sound recordings from inside and outside the vehicle ensure that you’ll have all the details when an incident occurs

    Fleet managers using Lytx DriveCam devices can increase the visibility of their fleets, which helps with coaching and identifying risky events and behaviors. Over time, they can increase productivity and efficiencies, which leads to cost savings. Select fleets using Lytx’s video telematics service are seeing up to a 80% reduction in claims costs and up to 50% fewer collisions.
