Dash Cam and telematics

ZeitRide's Dash Cam is an integrated part of the platform: cameras are provisioned and managed by ZeitRide, and the video, safety events, and vehicle telematics land right inside the vehicle record — no separate vendor portal or login.

Turning telematics on

A company admin enables the integration under Settings → Telematics:

1. Toggle Enable dash cam telematics. Live vehicle positions then stream from camera-equipped vehicles to the Live Map automatically.
2. Choose the Live map location source — Dash Cam (recommended) or Driver App. The dash cam is always on and doesn't require the driver app to be running.
3. Devices themselves are assigned by ZeitRide — the settings page notes that no credentials are required. If you don't have cameras yet, contact ZeitRide support to get started.

Linking a camera to a vehicle

On the vehicle's edit form, the Dash Cam section has a Dash cam device dropdown listing your company's assigned devices. Select one and the link takes effect immediately.

The Telematics tab

Open a vehicle and go to its Telematics tab. A status strip shows the device: Online/Offline, last seen time, serial, and any fault-code count. Four sections:

Live

The Camera card shows an auto-refreshing still preview with a Road / Cabin view toggle. Click Watch live for an on-demand live stream, and Back to preview when done. Company admins can also use Send driver message to put a short message on the driver's in-cab display. A Most recent incident teaser links into the events list.

Incidents

Safety events lists events detected by the on-board camera over the last 7 days — harsh braking, collisions, and similar — each with a severity (critical, warning, or info) and linked media.

Footage

Browse recorded stills and clips from the camera by time.

Data

Live vehicle snapshot tiles — Speed, Odometer, Engine hours, Fuel level, Active faults — plus expandable Fault codes, Sensor readings, and GPS history tables.

Dash cams and the Live Map

With telematics enabled and the location source set to Dash Cam, every camera-equipped vehicle reports its position continuously — including when the driver app is closed. See The Live Map.

Note: Camera hardware and provisioning are handled by ZeitRide as part of the service, priced per vehicle per month. Contact support to add cameras to your fleet or move a device between vehicles.
