Video Telematics: Secure Connectivity for Smarter Fleets

Video telematics combines vehicle-mounted cameras, GPS, sensors, and analytics to monitor driver behaviour, road conditions, and vehicle performance in real time.

These systems are used by fleets to:

• Improve driver safety.
• Reduce incident response times.
• Streamline insurance claims.
• Optimise routes and efficiency.

Whether deployed in logistics, passenger transport, or construction, on-board vehicle video systems helps fleet operators make smarter, safer decisions, but only when supported by robust and secure connectivity. This being an increasingly critical area to fleet operators as preventing and evidencing incidents through the use of technology and training are key areas for continuous improvement. Research studies also showing that, aside from the enormous human cost, accidents can cost fleet operators high insurance costs and around US$70,000 per claim to the industry as a whole.

CSL provides the resilient mobile connectivity that enables telematics data and video footage to be transmitted without delay or disruption. Our technology ensures that your video telematics platform remains operational across urban, rural, and cross-border locations.

Key Features:

• Multi-network SIMs and rSIM®
• Secure VPN & private APN options for encrypted video transmission
• Full UK, EU, and international roaming
• Real-time data delivery with low latency for live video feeds

Modern video vehicle telematics systems rely on uninterrupted communication to deliver:

• Live driver alerts (e.g. fatigue, distraction)
• Real-time HD video uploads
• Automated safety scoring
• Remote diagnostics and vehicle health data

A weak or interrupted connection can delay incident alerts, drop video evidence, or compromise compliance, resulting in increased costs, risk, and downtime. CSL prevents that with always-on, mission-critical mobile connectivity.

Video telematics systems are now more than smart dashcams. Fully connected fleet management software together with the right video telematics solution create a powerful platform for advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Making vehicle camera solutions an increasingly integral part of modern road safety. Connected and managed camera technologies ensure that warnings and alerts can be configured and personalised. Important, as the needs of fleet managers often differ, and certain vehicle weights, types or skill levels of fleet drivers may require certain extra alerts based upon their training programs, coaching support, or corrective action plans. For example, concerns around distracted driving, near misses, accidents, history of tailgating and recorded data from live driver feedback systems or integrated ADAS.

Fleet mangers will also need remote access to live vehicle data, real-time visual data, or pre- and post-incident footage. With AI and ML becoming increasingly powerful, the ability to analyse a range of these data sets in real time or with low latency, means that fleet managers can be much better equipped to create positive driver actions and operating plans. For these reasons, the video telematics market is seeing high growth, with market expected to grow from 9 million units to over 22 million by 2030

Edge AI Cameras: Process footage onboard to detect risky behaviour and trigger immediate alerts.

5G Streaming: Enables high-speed video uploads and low-latency communication between vehicles and fleet HQ.

IoT Integration: Telematics systems now monitor other parameters such as tyre pressure, cargo temperature, EV battery health, and more.

Compliance by Design: GDPR-aligned data handling, encryption, and role-based access control.

CSL supports these advancements with secured, flexible, scalable connectivity solutions built to handle high data volumes and real-time analytics.
