AI dash cam

An AI dash cam is a connected vehicle camera with enough on-device processing to run computer-vision models against the video stream in real time. Road-facing models typically cover following distance, lane departure and forward collision risk. Driver-facing models cover distraction, phone use, drowsiness, smoking and seatbelt use. The device decides which moments are worth keeping, saves a short clip either side of the trigger, and uploads it with the matching GPS and sensor data. The word AI describes where the analysis happens, not a difference in image quality.

Video telematics

Video telematics combines road-facing and sometimes driver-facing camera footage with the telematics data recorded at the same moment: GPS position, speed, heading, acceleration and time. Traditional telematics tells you that a harsh braking event occurred at a location and a speed. Video telematics shows you what was in front of the vehicle when it happened. Most systems record continuously to local storage and upload only short clips around a triggered event, because uploading every minute of footage over a mobile network is neither affordable nor useful.

Driver monitoring system (DMS)

A driver monitoring system points inward. Using an infrared cabin-facing camera so it works at night and through sunglasses, it tracks head pose, eye state and posture to infer whether the driver is attentive. It is the counterpart to ADAS, which points outward at the road. In fleet equipment the two are usually sold together in a single dual-facing unit, and the terms are often used loosely as though they were one feature.
