What is a Dashcam with GPS Tracker?

What is a Ai Dashcam with GPS tracking

A dashcam with GPS tracker is an intelligent on-board device that integrates high-definition video recording and a GPS positioning system. Going beyond the scope of traditional dashcams that only provide "visual evidence", it constructs a complete evidence chain of "when, where and what happened" by combining real-time video with accurate spatio-temporal data. Such devices are usually equipped with multi-mode positioning modules (e.g., GPS/BDS ) and 4G mobile communication modules, which can synchronously record vehicle information such as position, speed and driving trajectory with video images, and upload the data to the cloud management platform in real time via the network.

Functions of a Dashcam with GPS Tracker

1. High-definition Video Recording and Positioning Information Overlay

The device supports multi-channel high-definition video recording (front, interior, rear, etc.), and overlays key information including time, longitude and latitude, vehicle speed and license plate number on the video screen, making each frame of the image valid evidence with precise spatio-temporal coordinates.

2. Real-time Positioning and Trajectory Playback

Based on the GPS function, managers can view the real-time location of vehicles on the electronic map, and replay the historical driving trajectory of any time period at will, so as to clearly understand the driving route, stopping points and duration of the vehicles.

3. Geofencing and Intelligent Alarm

Custom geofencing areas can be set. When a vehicle enters or exits a specific area without authorization, the system will automatically trigger an alarm. Combined with the speed data from GPS, it can also realize overspeed alarm, effectively regulating driving behavior.

4. Remote Video Monitoring and Cloud Management

Through the 4G network, it supports remote real-time viewing of live video inside and outside the vehicle, as well as remote retrieval and download of historical video clips stored in the device. All data can be managed on a unified cloud platform, supporting centralized control of multiple vehicles and fleets.

5. Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and Driver Status Monitoring (DSM)

Integrated with AI algorithms, it provides real-time monitoring and voice reminders of dangerous behaviors such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, fatigue driving and distracted driving, actively preventing accidents.

Why Do We Need a Dashcam with GPS Tracker?

1. Recording Driving Trajectory

Ordinary dashcams can only record images, while models with GPS will synchronously record vehicle data such as driving speed, route, longitude and latitude, and embed such information into the video. In case of disputes such as traffic accidents and insurance fraud, speed and trajectory data can objectively restore the incident process, which is more persuasive than simple video images and can effectively help determine liability.

2. Supporting Geofencing

Some dashcams with GPS are equipped with geofencing function. When the vehicle drives out of the preset range, the device will automatically trigger a reminder, which is suitable for vehicle anti-theft or fleet management. In parking monitoring mode, combined with GPS positioning, it can also record the trajectory of the vehicle being moved, facilitating the tracking of vehicle abnormalities.

3. Realizing Speed Measurement Reminder and Route Planning Assistance

Many models with GPS have a built-in fixed speed camera database, which will remind drivers of speed-measuring sections in advance during driving, helping them avoid speeding violations. Meanwhile, some devices can be linked with mobile phone APPs to export recorded trajectories for self-driving tour route sharing or trip review.

4. Facilitating Fleet Management and Vehicle Scheduling

For enterprise fleets or multi-vehicle travel scenarios, dashcams with GPS can upload real-time vehicle position and driving status. Managers can remotely monitor the driving route, stopping time and speed of vehicles, improving fleet management efficiency and safety.
