Chinese IoT company Queclink has introduced a 4G smart dash camera with all-in-one telematics.

With its telematics and AI-driven intelligence, the CV200 targets the rapidly expanding IoT and IoV (internet of vehicles) industries.

The all-in-one telematic device includes GNSS positioning, real-time recording and smart video analysing. It has a fixed front camera and a detachable interior camera, or alternatively a DMS camera, capturing both the road ahead and the interior view of the vehicle.

The device is capable of continuous loop recording and can switch to event-based recording when unusual movement is detected by its built-in accelerometer or the panic button is pressed; these videos can all be requested for download or playback by the user at any time.

Backed by LTE Cat 6 connectivity, the CV200 supports live streaming and can auto-upload crucial clips to the server without delay. The added wifi function also allows users to upload all videos at rest stops via wifi.

Smart AI is available for optional ADAS and DMS (driver monitoring system). When connected to a DMS camera, the device can assess the driver’s state of awareness and send an alert if it identifies signs of distractions or drowsiness. The immediate warning allows the driver or the manager to intervene manually, and avert any potential incidents before they happen.

The AI-powered intelligence has more uses beyond improved road safety, with driver coaching being one of them as patterns of driving behaviour are collected and analysed over time. Fleet managers can also use the reported data to evaluate drivers’ performance and make objective, data-driven hiring and firing decisions.

The forward-facing camera can either work alone, or be paired with a second, detachable interior or DMS camera. This two-part design reduces the size of the main device, and provides a better, safer view as less is in the way of the driver’s line of sight.

An optional OBD cable speeds installation. The interior camera has the same ease and flexibility in its deployment. Combined with a waterproof casing, the mini-sized interior camera can be placed practically anywhere, providing views of the cargo, cabin, side blind areas and so on.

It is designed to improve vehicle, driver and cargo management and data monitoring, with applications in the fields of automobile insurance, car leasing, ride sharing and hailing, and fleet management.
