What you can ‘t see can hurt you.
That’s especially true of the blind spots along the sides of your trailer, places where some motorists seem to enjoy hanging in.
Garmin’s new dēzl DualView, a two-camera system can keep over-the-road drivers aware of their surroundings by providing a clear, live view down each side of their truck and trailer.
Once installed, video from the camera system is viewable in-cab on a paired tablet or dēzl OTR navigator, allowing users to monitor blind spots and receive alerts for merging traffic. Drivers can also operate their vehicle with peace of mind, knowing that any detected incident on the road will automatically be recorded in 1080p HD video and saved on a microSD memory card.
Garmin says the dēzl DualView:
- Uses the dual-camera system to have a live camera view down each side of the truck and increase overall awareness around the vehicle; viewable in-cab on a driver’s paired tablet or dēzl OTR truck navigator
- Helps drivers gain confidence when blindside backing by having a clear line of sight behind the truck cab and/or trailer
- Has drivers receive visual alerts when traffic moves into the truck’s blind spots and for merging vehicles
- Automatically captures and saves video clips of incidents in 1080 HD on a microSD video card
- Views and shares saved videos with the purchase of a Vault plan and an active Wi-Fi connection. Video clips are continuously stored and can be shared from the Garmin Drive mobile app. Without a Vault plan, videos can be stored on a microSD card.
- Rugged, weather-resistant cameras are IPX7-rated and designed to withstand the elements, including sunlight, rain, fuels, chemicals, pressure washers and more.
- Has a simple, sleek, flush-mount installation secures the cameras to the side mirrors or another flat surface on the truck.
- When connected to a dēzl OTR navigator, uses voice commands2 to control camera views and see saved videos, as well as location, speed, date and incident time overlays.
Available now, the Garmin dēzl DualView includes two camera modules, a transmitter box and mounting hardware, and is available online for $999.99.
