I use Samsara for safety telematics on my trucks: video; speed; location. I found Samsara to be a great partner for this service. The hardware was extremely easy to install and set up. I was able to complete an installation without professional services and do it quickly and completely. Using Samsara is also easy. The Dashboard is intuitive and my dispatchers were up and running in minutes. I especially like the features of the system. Video on demand is critical to our accident investigation. Hyperlapse allows me to grab long segments of video without having to go through them in real-time. The camera snapshots let me look in on a driver at a given time without having to download video - when all I need is a snapshot.

Retrieve video.
Provide snapshots, both current and historical.
Excellent customer service.
Easy installation and implementation.

Better notice of when a camera has gone bad or AI of a covered camera.

Reduced accident frequency.
Reduced liability for accidents caused by others.
Mitigated and quick resolutions to accidents caused by my drivers.
