CalAmp Vision is a video-telematics solution that includes a camera device (with one lens facing the road and the other facing the driver) in your vehicles that will return video files to iOn you can view within the software. This enables you to accurately assess driver behavior, which can help improve driving efficiency and mitigate liabilities. If your assets are equipped with our Vision cameras (and your user role has Vision privileges), you can see the captured videos on the Tracking screen; to do so, open the associated asset's Asset Details pane and expand its Vision panel, which will display the vehicle's last recorded video events. Or you can view all your available videos on the Vision Library screen. (See Viewing a CalAmp Vision Video Capture on the Tracking Screen and Viewing Your Videos for details.)
CalAmp Vision cameras are designed to start capturing video in response to certain events. Captured videos are uploaded to the software at the end of every trip. These are the events that trigger a recording:
| Event Type | Note |
| Cell phone distraction | |
| Distracted driving | |
| Drowsy driving | |
| Harsh acceleration | |
| Harsh braking | |
| Harsh cornering | |
| Lane drift | |
| Maximum speed violation | This is triggered if the driver exceeds 75 mph by default, but that value can be configured by your customer success manager (CSM). |
| Possible crash | The data is sent to the server to verify whether an accident has occurred. Also, if your organization has purchased the CrashBoxx AI module, its crash-detection algorithm will send an alert if it determines that there was a true crash. |
| SOS panic button | A panic button is included as part of the Vision package. If there is an emergency, the driver can press this to alert dispatch/iOn that they need help, which will also initiate video capture. |
| Speed limit sign violation | This capture begins if the operator drives more than 5 mph over the speed limit by default, but this value can be changed by your CSM. |
| Stop sign violation | |
| Tailgating | |
| Forward collision warning | |
| Rollover detection | |
| Gaze down | |
| Seatbelt violation | |
| Texting distraction | |
| Traffic light violation | |
| High-G event | This is triggered by an abrupt and large increase in acceleration or deceleration (based on measurements of Earth's gravity [G-force]), which indicates that an accident might be occurring. |
| Drinking distracted driving | |
| Smoking distracted driving |
Note: In development is another type of event that will begin video capturing if the driver crosses over a double solid line while making a lane change.
Each video clip uploaded to iOn will include 9 seconds prior to the triggering event and 5 seconds after it.
Note: See What Can You Expect with CalAmp Vision? for more details about the capture triggers and other information about CalAmp's Vision offering. You can also go to Adding a CalAmp Vision Notification for trigger descriptions.
