the driver. SmartDrive is an exception-based recording device, so driving
activities are recorded and saved 15 seconds before the event and 15 seconds
after it. The SmartDrive system also features multiple panic buttons, which
allow the driver to record and document incidents that may be caused by other
drivers or passengers. Data captured by SmartDrive's system is available to
clients via a secure, web-based portal which features incident review and
reporting services.

with event analysis and driver safety training, SmartDrive's automated event
recorder (AER) technology and associated web-based service can reduce vehicle
collisions and mystery damage by up to 50 percent. Customers include
enterprises with small- to mid-size fleets (e.g. food distribution,
ambulances, motor coaches, and taxi companies) and large fleets with 500+
