Lytx will begin offering an enhanced video monitoring system for commercial and government fleets that provides additional capability over its DriveCam product, the company has announced.
Lytx Video Services, which will be available by April 1, offers an in-vehicle video system that combines a cloud-connected event recorder and video cameras with new dashboard Lytx Workspace to provide more precise data for accident management.

The brain of the system is a new ER-SF64 event recorder that offers a driver-facing lens that captures 12- or 20-second exception-based video clips; an outside lens with continually recording video with an option to livestream video; a cloud-connected digital video recorder (DVR) with 64 gigabytes of memory; advanced sensors such as accelerometers to detect speed, gyroscopes to detect motion, and GPS to detect location; and compatibility with third-party PAL- or NTSC-based cameras.

The DVR can record up to 100 hours of footage, and up to 12 additional third-party cameras can be connected.
"The key is giving our clients the ability to easily go back to a specific point in time to see exactly what happened from any view they desire," said Brandon Nixon, Lytx chairman and chief executive. "This ability to see more — and therefore know and do more — about what's happening in the vehicle and in the field could completely transform how a fleet operates."
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
