Isaac unleashes next generation InView camera system
In-cab technology provider Isaac announced the evolution of InView, a fully integrated video camera and data recording system to enhance safety, safeguard against false claims and simplify driver coaching.
The next-generation system includes a road-facing and optional side and optional driver-facing cameras, virtually eliminating blind spots. The wide-angle visual image provides extended visibility alongside the truck, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions, according to a news release.
The camera solution provides access to videos on Isaac’s fleet management platform. The redundant memory system means videos will never be lost due to memory corruption.
The four-channel digital video recorder (DVR) is mounted behind the dash, allowing for better reliability of video retrieval following a crash. It is separate from the forward-facing camera, ensuring videos will not be lost in the event the windshield is damaged in an accident.
In the event of a harsh maneuver, it provides instant access to footage to determine whether the driver was distracted. The camera can see the driver’s eyes, even if wearing sunglasses.

And what happens when these gizmos fail? Everyone likes new and shiny with lots of button. But we are getting away from basics. Mirrors for example. Saw a truck video that had a truck with no mirrors on it. No blind spots, better fuel efficiency. But when they fail you have a blind driver. That makes something bucker on me as a driver. Forward facing radar. As a driver you are paid to drive, not watch videos as you go up the road.
Put a driver back behind the wheel. We keep building trucks for less and less qualified drivers.
