Yes, depending on the model. AI MDVRs such as MR910-DA and MR920-DA run DMS on board and send events over 4G to the platform; standalone DMS units offer I/O or RS232 options for connecting to other equipment.Choose an AI MDVR when you want DMS events, video and GPS in one platform.

Start from the risk you most need to reduce and the number of camera views each vehicle needs.Choose a standalone DMS for driver fatigue and distraction, ADAS for forward-collision and lane risks, an AI dashcam for a compact road-plus-driver setup, or an AI MDVR when a vehicle needs more camera channels. Many fleets pilot one configuration on a small group of vehicles before rolling it out.Standal...

Often yes, but it depends on your platform's protocol.Most AlwayCare terminals list I/O or RS232 interfaces and send location, alarms and video to the AlwayCare CMS platform over 4G or Wi-Fi.

An AI MDVR records several camera views together with time, GPS/BeiDou location and alarm events, so you can see what happened around and inside the vehicle.On connected models, managers can view live and recorded video through the CMS platform over 4G or Wi-Fi, while full recordings stay on the recorder's storage.Multiple viewsMR910, MR920 and MR930 record 5, 9 or 13 channels, covering the road, ...

It depends on the number of cameras, resolution and bitrate, recording hours, retention time and how much video you watch or upload remotely.Work out storage from the measured bitrate of each channel and add a margin. Most 4G data comes from live viewing, remote playback and uploaded clips; continuous recording stays on the device.Storage by modelSupported storage differs by model, from SD cards t...

A typical long-haul truck uses a forward road camera, a driver-facing camera, side cameras for blind spots and a rear camera.These views are recorded by a multi-channel MDVR or a multi-channel AI dashcam.

Yes. AlwayCare works with vehicle manufacturers on OEM projects for DMS, ADAS, BSD, 360° around-view, MDVR and camera systems.Factory fitment needs agreement on mounting positions, wiring, interfaces, validation and supply schedule for each vehicle model.

No. EU GSR and UN R151/R159 are vehicle type-approval requirements; fitting an aftermarket device does not by itself make a vehicle compliant.These rules apply when new vehicle types are approved. AlwayCare devices can add driver monitoring, blind spot and forward warnings to vehicles already in service, but compliance is assessed for the vehicle, not the add-on device.Driver monitoringAdds fatigu...

A school bus usually needs a forward road camera, a driver camera, cameras over the passenger area and doors, and side or rear cameras for blind zones.The number of channels depends on the bus length and how many doors and seating areas you need to cover.

No. An AI passenger counter counts people boarding and alighting at each door; it does not identify individual students.Counts are linked to GPS location and video on supported models. Identifying students needs a separate system, such as ID cards or an app, connected to your fleet platform.CountingPC23 provides two-channel AI passenger counting with four-channel video monitoring.LocationCounters ...

A driver monitoring system watches the driver with an infrared camera and gives an audio alert when it detects signs of fatigue or distraction.Detected behaviors include eye closure, yawning, phone use, smoking and looking away from the road.

Choose UWB when people and vehicles can carry tags and you want warnings between specific forklifts and pedestrians; choose radar when you need to detect obstacles without tags.The UA350 UWB system warns within configurable zones, including alarm-free zones. The R350 77GHz radar detects walls, shelves, people and vehicles from 0.2 to 40 m with three alert levels.UWB (UA350)Tag-based warnings betwe...

For UWB systems, yes: people and vehicles need tags so the system can measure the distance between them. Radar systems do not need tags.With UWB, anyone without a working tag is not detected, so tag issue, charging and checks become part of the site routine.UWB needs tagsTags let the UA350 warn when a tagged person or vehicle enters the alarm zone.Radar needs no tagsR350 radar detects people and o...

Municipal and emergency fleets typically use multi-channel MDVRs with exterior cameras, blind spot detection, 360° around-view and GPS tracking.Refuse trucks, street sweepers and emergency vehicles often work at low speed near pedestrians, so side and rear visibility matters as much as forward warnings.Video recordingMulti-channel MDVRs record exterior and cab views with GPS/BeiDou location.360° a...

Collision warning systems warn the driver; they do not brake or steer, and their detection depends on sensors, calibration and conditions.Cameras can be affected by glare, heavy rain, dirt and missing lane markings.

An AlwayCare DMS uses an infrared driver-facing camera to detect signs of fatigue and distraction, such as eye closure, yawning, phone use, smoking and looking away from the road.When it detects these behaviors it gives an audio alert, and connected models can record the event and send it to the fleet platform.Fatigue signsEye closure and yawning, with alerts for drowsy driving.DistractionPhone us...

Yes. AlwayCare DMS units use an infrared driver-facing camera, so they can monitor the driver's face in a dark cab without visible lighting.Infrared light is invisible to the driver, so it does not cause glare at night. Strong sunlight or backlight through the windows can be harder for the camera than darkness, so test on both day and night shifts.MR688BStandalone DMS with I/O or RS232 options and...

Often, but not always. Infrared DMS cameras can see through many sunglasses, but some lenses block infrared light and hide the driver's eyes.When the eyes cannot be seen, alerts that depend on the eyes, such as eye-closure detection, become unreliable.
