Every fleet manager I've spoken to has dashcams on every vehicle. Almost none of them watch the footage.
Not because they don't care but because there's no realistic way to. If you have 10 drivers doing 8-hour shifts, that's 80 hours of footage a day. Nobody is sitting down and watching that looking for problems that may or may not be there.
So what actually happens? The footage sits on a server somewhere and only gets pulled when something has already gone wrong. An accident. A complaint. A legal claim. By that point it's too late. You're using it as evidence, not as prevention.
The dashcam industry has done a great job selling the hardware. Nobody has solved the software problem: automatically surfacing the moments that actually matter.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Kieran, I built detectly solo, so any feedback lands directly with the person who can do something about it.
The thing that stuck with me when I started talking to fleet managers is that the first anyone hears about a problem driver is usually an accident. The footage exists, but nobody has time to sit and watch hours of it on the off chance something bad happened.
That's the gap detectly sits in. 3 weeks live, 20k social views, and the conversations I've been having with fleet managers since have only reinforced it.
If you manage a fleet or even just a handful of vehicles, I'd love to hear what your current safety process looks like 🙏
