Fleet Dashcam Solutions to Protect Your Fleet

Quartix offers two dashcam options: Connected dashcams and Standalone dashcams . The Connected Dashcams integrate with your Quartix tracking system – they have a built-in 4G connection that automatically uploads incident videos (like harsh braking events or collisions) to the Quartix online platform. You can view footage and snapshots through your Quartix account alongside the vehicle’s tracking data. In contrast, Standalone Dashcams are not tied into the Quartix software. They simply record high-quality footage locally to an SD card. You would retrieve the footage from a standalone camera manually (for example, by downloading it via Wi-Fi or removing the SD card) when you need it. Essentially, connected cameras give you automated, remote access to video via Quartix, whereas standalone cameras operate independently like traditional dashcams.

For Connected Dashcams, accessing footage is very convenient – any event clips (such as crashes or severe driving incidents) are automatically uploaded to the Quartix server over the air . You can log in to your Quartix account to review these videos at any time. You can also request recent footage from the camera on-demand through the platform, since the connected camera continuously records and keeps video available for a period (with up to 256GB of onboard storage, it stores many hours of driving). You’ll receive email alerts for significant events with a link to the video. For Standalone Dashcams, footage is stored on a memory card (up to 128GB capacity). To view it, you either connect to the dashcam via a local Wi-Fi link using the provided Cam Viewer app or physically remove the SD card from the camera to download videos to a PC. There is no live remote access for standalone units – you retrieve footage only when needed, directly from the device.

Not necessarily. If you choose the Connected Dashcams, they are designed to work in tandem with the Quartix vehicle tracking service – you’ll need a Quartix account so you can log in and see the camera data and alerts (the dashcam’s 4G data usage is managed as part of the service). Standalone dashcams, however, can be used independently without any Quartix subscription. They function like regular dashcams: record to the device, with no integration into Quartix software. This is a good option for fleets that just want the camera footage without the telematics tie-in. Of course, existing Quartix customers can also mix and match; for example, you might put connected cameras in certain vehicles where you want full integration, and use standalone cameras in others where you only need basic recording.

Yes. Fleet dashcams in general are known to improve safety and can lead to lower insurance premiums. With Quartix dashcams, you gain video evidence of incidents, which helps eliminate fraudulent claims and quickly resolve who was at fault . Insurers appreciate this transparency, and many offer discounts for vehicles fitted with approved dashcams. Moreover, by identifying risky driving behaviour on camera, you can coach drivers and prevent accidents. Quartix’s connected dashcams, in particular, allow you to spot and address dangerous driving events (like harsh braking or phone use) promptly since the footage is readily available. Over time, a safer driving culture not only reduces accidents (and insurance claims) but can also enhance your overall fleet efficiency by reducing vehicle downtime and repair costs.

 Yes. Quartix’s Connected Dashcam range includes models with dual cameras – typically one facing forward (road view) and one facing the driver or interior . You can choose a forward-facing only camera, or a front-and-cabin setup if you want to monitor in-cab activity (for example, to ensure drivers are not distracted or to have evidence in case of an incident inside the vehicle). The Standalone Dashcam option also has variants, such as a forward-facing camera and an optional secondary camera that can face the rear window or cargo area . It’s up to your fleet’s needs: if privacy is a concern, you can opt for forward-facing only; if additional coverage is desired, you have the option for interior or rear views. All cameras record in full HD video, capturing clear details regardless of configuration.

Quartix dashcams are designed for straightforward installation. The connected dashcams are usually hardwired into the vehicle’s power (often installed by a professional engineer alongside the tracker), ensuring they turn on/off with the ignition and have a stable connection. Standalone dashcams can be self-installed – typically mounted on the windscreen with an adhesive or suction and plugged into a 12V socket or wired to the fuse box for power. Both camera types come with anti-tamper features; for instance, the connected units have lockable covers for the SIM and SD card so they cannot be easily removed or disabled . Standalone cameras have locking screws for the SD card as well to prevent unauthorised removal of footage. If someone tries to tamper with a connected dashcam (or if it stops communicating), Quartix can send an alert so you’re aware. In general, once installed properly, the cameras are secure and drivers soon forget they are there – until the footage is needed.
