Garmin has introduced its dēzl DualView camera system, a two-camera setup designed to improve driver awareness by providing live video views down both sides of a truck. The system is available now and includes two camera modules, a transmitter box, and mounting hardware.

It uses high-definition cameras mounted on the vehicle to display live footage in-cab on a paired tablet, Garmin dēzl OTR truck navigator, or compatible RV navigator. The company says dēzl DualView system is intended to help drivers monitor blind spot and receive alerts for merging traffic.

The system also automatically records detected incidents in 1080p HD and stores the footage on a microSD card, the company said in a news release.

The rugged cameras are IPX7-rated and designed to withstand exposure to weather, sunlight, fuels, chemicals, and pressure washing.

The installation is flush-mounted, typically on side mirrors or other flat surfaces on the truck, according to Garmin.

When connected to a dēzl OTR navigator, drivers can use voice commands to switch camera views and watch saved videos, along with overlays showing location, speed, date, and time of an incident.

“In keeping with our focus of simplifying life for professional truck drivers, the dēzl DualView is a
purpose-built solution that promotes increased driver awareness when behind the wheel. Not only does
it give drivers more confidence when changing lanes or backing up but also having video proof of
events can be invaluable for protecting their driving reputation,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing.
