An in-cab camera is a surveillance device installed inside commercial vehicles to monitor driver behavior and cabin activities. You’ll find these cameras in truck cabs and vans, where they supply real-time footage for fleet managers to utilize. An in-cab camera system can help your business in multiple ways, from increasing safety standards to enhancing driver accountability.

The benefits are multiplied when using Radius in-cab cameras. These offer high-definition video quality and are integrated with advanced features like AI detection for driver distractions.

In-cab cameras are generally legal in the US, governed by federal and state regulations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) permits their use to monitor driver behavior and ensure safety compliance, provided they do not obstruct the driver's view or interfere with vehicle operation. However, some states may have additional privacy laws affecting their use, so it’s essential to adhere to both federal and state requirements.

Employers should inform drivers about the cameras' presence and purpose, maintaining transparency and establishing clear policies for using and retaining recorded footage. In unionized workplaces, the use of in-cab cameras might need to be negotiated with the union. Consulting legal professionals is recommended to ensure full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
