Video recordings are uploaded to Reveal when unsafe driving behavior (such as hard braking) is detected in real time by the vehicle tracker (or built-in telematics solution) and AI Dashcam, also in real time.
When a video is recorded, the cloud AI analyzes the video by looking for objects near the vehicle (such as stop signs and road users) and by comparing the road speed with the speed of the vehicle.
When the cloud AI detects multiple events happening around the same time, its classification level is based on the most severe incident.
In this article:
All vehicles are fitted with either an aftermarket vehicle tracker, or a factory-installed built-in telematics solution. All video users must have either an AI Dashcam or a road-facing (model 2) camera fitted to their vehicle. The cloud AI interacts with all camera types.

What does it do? |
The tracker triggers a harsh driving event based solely on factors such as speed and g-force. |
The cloud AI, also known as the video analytics engine, analyzes the severity of an event after it has happened. At this time, it also recognizes incidents such as Tailgating. |
Camera AI constantly monitors driving behavior, provides immediate feedback to drivers and triggers videos to be uploaded to Reveal. |
|
When does it run? |
After the harsh driving event. |
After the event. It analyzes videos moments after it receives them from the camera. |
In real-time. It runs constantly, when the vehicle is on, to monitor driving behavior. |

The following unsafe driving behaviors are detected by the vehicle tracker:
-
Hard acceleration
-
The vehicle speeds up suddenly (by more than 5 mph (8 km/h) per second).
-
The g-force is above 0.220g for at least 1 second.
-
-
Harsh cornering
-
The vehicle makes a harsh turn at speed.
-
The g-force is above 0.4g for at least 2 seconds.
-
-
Hard braking
-
The vehicle slows down suddenly (speed decreased by more than 6 mph (9.5 km/h) per second).
-
The g-force is above 0.265g for at least 1 second.
-
-
Sudden force
-
The vehicle jolts suddenly (caused by impact with a person, animal, or object, for example).
-
The g-force is above 0.7g for 0.1 second.
-
Sudden force is only detected by certain device models. Contact support to find out whether your device can detect it.
-
All vehicles are fitted with a vehicle tracker by default. Go to Admin > Camera List to see which camera models are installed in your fleet.
If videos are not appearing in the Video > Events tab, check whether a camera is working.
