Frequently Asked Questions

Does SureCam record continuously, and how long is SureCam footage available?

SureCam records rolling drive-time video while the vehicle is operating on supported configurations, but event clips are the footage uploaded automatically when a G-force, telematics, or AI trigger occurs. SureCam says event video is stored for up to 60 days, while managers can retrieve footage from about 50 hours of rolling continuous video. Optional LiveCheck provides real-time viewing when a fleet needs to see what is happening immediately.

Can SureCam retrieve video that was not triggered by an alert?

Yes. SureCam's self-service video request tools let a manager choose a vehicle, trip, camera view, and time range to request footage that was not uploaded as an event. Depending on the platform, requested clips can range from 10 seconds to one minute, and a request from an inactive vehicle uploads after the vehicle is powered on again.

Does SureCam require a driver-facing camera?

No. SureCam offers road-facing cameras for fleets that want incident evidence and GPS tracking without recording the cab, dual-facing configurations for road and driver coverage, and the Vantage system with up to six synchronized views. The road-facing option is the better fit when driver privacy is a priority, while driver-facing video adds context for distraction, fatigue, phone use, and coaching.

How does SureCam handle driver privacy and audio recording?

SureCam supports road-facing-only deployments and provides controls for turning off camera audio, but the fleet remains responsible for notices, consent, and a written camera policy that fits local employment and privacy law. SureCam's current guidance also describes options such as facial blurring, location privacy zones, and time-based recording controls on supported deployments. Fleets should tell drivers what is recorded, who can view it, how long it is retained, and how footage will be used before installation.

Can a fleet install SureCam cameras itself?

SureCam publishes installation guides and provides a mobile Installation Verification Tool that checks camera images and activates devices on the platform. A simple forward-facing installation may be handled internally by a capable fleet team, but hardwired dual-facing or multi-camera deployments need careful power, mounting, and cable planning. Mixed vehicle fleets should confirm installation costs and responsibilities in the quote rather than assume every vehicle can use the same setup.

Does SureCam work inside Geotab?

Yes. The SureCam integration operates inside MyGeotab and combines Geotab rules with SureCam video, AI alerts, safety scores, and coaching workflows. Managers can use live viewing and self-service video requests without moving to a separate fleet portal, provided the SureCam add-in and user permissions are configured by the Geotab administrator.

Does SureCam include ELD and Hours of Service compliance?

SureCam is primarily a video telematics, GPS tracking, and driver-coaching platform rather than a full native ELD and Hours of Service suite. Fleets that need electronic logs, IFTA, fuel-card controls, maintenance, and dispatch in one system will need integrations or a broader platform such as Motive or Samsara. SureCam is a stronger fit when cameras, incident evidence, location tracking, and safety coaching are the main requirements.

How does SureCam compare with Samsara and Motive?

SureCam is narrower: it centers on connected video, built-in GPS, AI coaching, and camera configurations with up to six views, while Samsara and Motive add broader ELD, compliance, maintenance, routing, equipment, and workforce functions. SureCam publishes UK pricing from £25 to £35 per vehicle per month on 36-month agreements, while its US plans and the larger platforms generally require a quote. Non-regulated service, construction, towing, and local delivery fleets may prefer SureCam when they do not want to pay for a full compliance and operations stack.

How does SureCam AI driver coaching work?

SureCam detects selected risky behaviors and gives the driver an audible in-cab nudge. Its dedicated AI feature page describes a 10-second grace period: if the driver corrects the behavior, the safety score is unchanged and the alert is not passed to management. Uncorrected events can create automated coaching assignments in the SureCam Driver Mobile App, while managers review video and progress through the Coaching Hub.
