Video Telematics
for Taxi & Livery
SmartWitness meets the strict city specifications of New York, Chicago, London, & more.
Protect Drivers, Reduce Crime, & Reduce Liabilities
Congested city driving conditions, crime inside and outside the cab, and the large volume of walking & bike riding pedestrians are all contributors to a taxi owner/driver risk. Since the installation of SmartWitness camera systems (currently over 10,000 total) in cities like NY, Chicago, London, & Seoul, taxi related crimes and claims have dropped, resulting in safer roads for all. Alarm input triggers can be connected to the taxi meter or door opening, securing & transmitting video recordings any time a fare is started or a pedestrian enters the vehicle. An emergency panic button is also within reach of the driver at all times for initiating an overwrite-protected video for later analysis. These features combined with video, audio, & GPS data, provide all the evidence needed to quickly resolve any road event.
