Linxup Launches Rear-Facing Cameras

Linxup released two new rear-facing auxiliary cameras that hardwire directly into the existing LinxCam system. LinxCam Rear Vision and LinxCam Rear Vision Slimline provide full rear visibility, where forward-facing and in-cab cameras can’t cover.  

Traditional in-cab and forward-facing dash cameras leave a blind spot behind the vehicle. With rear-end collisions accounting for 29 percent of all crashes, that missing perspective can make it difficult to determine fault after an accident, defend against liability claims, or verify completed work. The auxiliary cameras help fleets document rear-end collisions, verify proof of service, monitor assets and strengthen protection against false claims, all while using the existing LinxCam platform and storage.

The two LinxCam models are designed for different fleet applications while sharing the same seamless LinxCam experience: 

• LinxCam Rear Vision supports proof of service, asset monitoring and rear-end collision documentation. It is suited for fleets in towing, waste management, delivery and other service industries that need visibility into work performed behind the vehicle.
• LinxCam Rear Vision Slimline provides rear visibility in a compact form factor that mounts above the license plate, making it ideal for fleets focused primarily on rear-end collision documentation and vehicle visibility.

The launch comes as fleets continue investing in technology that improves safety and reduces risk. A recent Linxup survey of 267 fleet professionals found:

• 53.6 percent% said they like tools such as dash cams and GPS tracking because they believe these tools make drivers safer.
• 43.8 percent said dash camera or GPS footage has changed the outcome of an insurance claim or legal dispute.
• 46.2 percent said a dash, rear-facing or 360-degree camera has delivered the most value to their day-to-day work experience.
