Ctrack's AI-powered driver monitoring system detects unsafe driving behaviour in real time, alerting drivers and fleet managers before an incident occurs. Built for NZ fleets operating from Auckland to Christchurch.

AI-Powered Detection
Detect Driver Fatigue and Distraction in Real Time
Most fleet incidents share one root cause: the driver's eyes left the road. Whether from drowsiness during a night shift or phone use on a long haul, the danger is immediate.
Ctrack's driver monitoring camera uses infrared AI to detect eye closure, yawning, and head position changes within 1.5 seconds. When the system identifies signs of fatigue or distraction, an alarm will sound inside the cab. Your fleet manager receives a realtime alert with video footage of the event.
No guesswork. No delayed reporting. Every fatigued or distracted moment is captured, recorded, and ready for review. Combined with fatigue detection technology, your fleet gains continuous protection against driver drowsiness on every route.
- Microsleep detectionDetects eye closure beyond 1.5 seconds and triggers immediate in-cab voice alerts to restore driver alertness.
- Distracted driving responsePhone use, eating, and smoking detection with configurable alert thresholds per individual driver or vehicle.
- Night vision infraredInfrared sensor works in complete darkness and through sunglasses, providing round-the-clock in-vehicle monitoring coverage.
Compliance Warning
Protect Your Drivers: HSWA Compliance Is Not Optional
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, every PCBU must manage risks to workers operating vehicles. WorkSafe NZ can prosecute for failures in transport risk management. Penalties reach $3 million for corporations and $300,000 plus five years imprisonment for individuals. A driver monitoring system provides the evidence trail that demonstrates your duty of care and supports fatigue management obligations. Without one, you are relying on driver self-reporting and hoping nothing goes wrong.
Behaviour Intelligence
Driver Behaviour Monitoring and Telematics Integration
Detecting a single event is only the beginning. Real fleet safety improvement comes from tracking driver behaviour patterns over time and providing training where it matters.
Ctrack's driver behaviour monitoring integrates with the Crystal fleet management system to give fleet managers a complete view of driving behaviour across your operation. The telematics device in each vehicle feeds GPS data, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, speeding, and idle time into the same dashboard.
Each individual driver receives a behaviour scorecard. Managers can identify poor driving habits, schedule coaching sessions, and measure improvement over weeks and months. AI cameras capture the context behind every event, turning vehicle data into actionable safety intelligence.
- Driver behaviour analysisScore each driver on harsh brake events, acceleration, cornering, and speeding across every trip.
- Coaching workflowsFlag high-risk drivers, deliver targeted training, and track improvement through the Crystal dashboard.
- Telematics integrationGPS data, vehicle data, and camera events unified on one fleet management platform. No separate login required.
Before and After
Fleet Safety Without vs With a Driver Monitoring System
Most fleet operators recognise the risk of unmonitored driving. The gap between reactive and proactive safety management is measured in crashes prevented, insurance claims avoided, and lives protected.

Insurance and Evidence
Improve Driver Safety and Reduce Fleet Costs
When a crash occurs, the first question is always: who was at fault? Without video evidence, your driver's word stands against everyone else's.
Fleets using dashcams and driver monitoring cameras report a 63% driver exoneration rate from false claims. That single metric changes your insurance profile. Insurers recognise fleets with monitoring technology as lower risk, with premium reductions of 5 to 15%. For a 50-vehicle fleet, that translates to thousands in annual savings.
Add the reduction in vehicle downtime (at $700 or more per day per vehicle) and the 10 to 45% decrease in insurance claims, and the business case builds itself. Ctrack's DMS camera fits alongside your existing fleet dash cam setup, feeding events into the same Crystal management software your team already uses. Combined with broader driver safety programmes, you build a culture where every journey is monitored and every driver is supported.
- Driver exoneration evidenceRoad-facing dashcam footage proves your driver was not at fault, protecting your fleet's reputation and reducing claim disputes.
- Insurance premium reductionDemonstrate proactive safety management to insurers using telematics data and monitoring records.
- Tracking capabilitiesGPS tracking software pinpoints exact location, speed, and vehicle activity at the time of any safety event.

Key Features That Deliver Measurable Results
Fleets using driver monitoring systems achieve 5-15% insurance premium reductions. Fleet technology delivers an average 300% ROI (Frost & Sullivan). In-cab video monitoring reduces insurance claims by 10-45%.
“After installing Ctrack's driver monitoring system, we exonerated two of our drivers within the first month. The dashcam footage showed clearly that neither driver was at fault. That alone justified the investment.”
