The GO Focus Pro is a truck camera system for fleets of straight trucks, tractor-trailers, buses, refuse trucks, construction vehicles and delivery vans that need a record of what happens beside and behind the vehicle, not only in front. High Point GPS plans the camera layout for each vehicle, has it installed by professional installers, pairs it with your GO10 GPS tracking in the High Point GPS platform and supports your team in English and French. It is an AI dash cam that takes up to 5 auxiliary cameras for a 360° view and warns drivers about collision risks, pedestrians, motorcycles and traffic lights.

## What is a truck camera system?

A truck camera system records more than the road ahead: it adds cameras on the sides and rear, so you have footage of what happens around the whole vehicle. The GO Focus Pro is an AI dash cam with a 1080p road camera, plus a 1080p cabin camera on the dual model, that accepts up to 4 side or external rear auxiliary cameras for a 360° view and 1 more rear camera.

A forward-facing dash cam answers most collision questions, because most collisions happen in front of the vehicle. A multi camera dash cam covers the rest: the side of a trailer in a tight turn, the rear doors at a delivery stop, the step where passengers get on and off.

## Which fleets need a 360 camera for trucks?

For some fleets, a good share of liability sits outside the forward view: a passenger getting in or out of an NEMT van, a package theft claim at a delivery stop, a scrape at the side or rear of the vehicle. A single-camera system has no record of any of it.

Most fleets do not need five extra angles. A 360° setup makes sense for passenger transport, delivery and any vehicle where people or cargo move in and out at frequent stops, and for large trucks where the driver cannot see along the sides.

## Where are a truck's blind spots?

A heavy vehicle's main blind spots are in front of the cab, along both sides and behind it, and the higher and longer the vehicle, the larger they are, according to the SAAQ, Quebec's road safety authority. Along the sides the driver has to rely on mirrors alone, and the SAAQ warns that the rear blind spot is very long, so reversing calls for extra care.

The SAAQ singles out urban intersections, where most collisions involving a pedestrian or cyclist happen, and the front and right-side blind spots, especially in a right turn when the truck has to swing into the next lane or onto the shoulder. Mirrors and windshield pillars add smaller blind spots, and city buses, coaches and tool vehicles have blind spots of their own shapes.

Side cameras and a rear camera put those zones on video. Geotab says the GO Focus Pro's side cameras give 360° coverage around the vehicle, offers a zero-latency monitor for real-time blind-spot viewing in the cab, and presents the system as a way to cut low-speed damage and blind-spot incidents. Cameras add a recorded view; drivers still check their mirrors.

## What does the GO Focus Pro detect?

On the road, Geotab lists pre-collision warning, forward collision warning, traffic light detection, pedestrian detection, motorcycle detection and low-profile hazard detection for objects such as bollards, speed bumps and curbs. The camera also reads licence plates through automated licence plate recognition (ALPR).

In the cab, the dual model watches for distraction, fatigue and phone use, and Smart Driver ID helps match each trip to the right driver. An NFC card reader on the camera accepts NFC A, B and FeliCa cards (MiFare is not supported).

## Where should each auxiliary camera go?

The auxiliary slots are not tied to fixed positions. Side cameras come in small and large versions, and the rear camera comes in a standard version and an IP69K external version, connected over USB and TVI inputs. A cargo van with a rear-door theft problem has different priorities from a passenger van worried about incidents during the ride.

Plan the layout before installation. High Point GPS works out the angles for each vehicle type with you, then installs the cameras, configures the AI alerts and supports your team in English and French from Montreal. A generic layout can run five cameras and still miss the angle that mattered on the day of the incident.

## Which camera layout fits each type of truck?

Every layout starts with the windshield unit: the 1080p road camera, plus the 1080p cabin camera on the dual model. Geotab allows up to 4 side or external rear cameras and 1 more rear camera, with side cameras in small and large bracket versions. Below are the starting points we plan from; the final layout depends on the body, the mounting surfaces and where your incidents have happened.

Straight truck or box truck: a right-side camera for the turning blind spot, a left-side camera for lane changes and a rear camera for backing into docks. Tractor-trailer: side cameras along the trailer and a rear view; if trailers are swapped between tractors, tell us how they are assigned so we can plan the rear camera. Bus or passenger van: a camera on the door side that covers the step where passengers get on and off, a rear camera, and the dual model's cabin view.

Refuse truck: right-side and rear coverage first, because the work happens at the curb and the truck reverses along the route, with the IP69K external rear camera on the outside of the body. Construction vehicle: rear and side views for reversing on site, plus the road camera's low-profile hazard detection for curbs and bollards. Delivery van: the rear doors and the curb side, where package and door damage claims start. A driver-facing camera is optional on every layout.

## How much video does a multi camera dash cam store?

The GO Focus Pro has dual SD card slots that take up to 1 TB each, for a total of 2 TB, and it ships with a 128 GB card. Event videos are also stored in the platform for 365 days by default, so incident review does not depend on the card alone.

Video is protected with AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. Footage from every angle runs through the same High Point GPS platform as the rest of your fleet data, with video on demand and real-time viewing from the trips history page.

## What does truck camera footage show in a claim?

Footage shows what each camera saw, matched to the trip record: the time, the vehicle's location and speed from the tracking data, and the angle that covers the point of contact. Geotab says the GO Focus Pro protects fleets from unwarranted claims and speeds up the claims process, and its automated licence plate recognition helps identify the other vehicle in hit-and-runs and theft.

Driver-facing footage carries weight too. In a 2023 survey of legal and insurance experts, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) found that driver-facing camera footage, when available, exonerated drivers in 52% of insurance claims and 49% of litigation cases, and helped lead to settlements instead of trials in 86% of cases.

Two limits matter. A camera records only what is in its view, so a side-swipe on an uncovered side leaves the same gap as no camera at all. And claims often arrive weeks later: event videos stay in the platform for 365 days by default, so the clip is still there when the adjuster asks.

## How does the truck camera system work with the GO10?

The GO10 handles GPS fleet tracking: location, speed, trips and engine data over LTE. The GO Focus Pro adds the video. Geotab says its next-generation GO devices support native video synchronization with the GO Focus family of dash cams, so footage is paired with the vehicle's trip data in one platform. We confirm the pairing for your vehicles during planning.

In the High Point GPS platform, managers open video on demand or watch in real time from the trips history page, next to the trips, stops and driving events the GO10 records. One login covers tracking, video and the rest of your fleet data, and AES-256 encryption protects the footage in transit and at rest.

## How is a truck camera system installed?

Professional installers mount and wire the system for High Point GPS across North America, including Montreal. The windshield unit mounts with industrial-grade adhesive, the auxiliary cameras connect over USB and TVI inputs, and Geotab fits tamper-resistant lock screws at each camera position and a tamper switch on the cover over the cable, SD card and SIM.

The GO10 that tracks the vehicle connects at the OBD-II (or 9-pin) diagnostic port through a T-harness, with no wires cut, and Geotab notes that the harness keeps the OBD-II port free for diagnostics. Vehicles without a standard port take a 3-wire kit. A fleet can connect the GO10 itself, but we always recommend a professional installer, and running camera cables along a truck body is installer work.

## Road-only or dual model: what about driver privacy?

The GO Focus Pro comes in a road-only model and a dual model with a cabin camera. Road-only suits fleets where drivers or company policy rule out in-cab recording. Geotab lists it at 124 × 88.6 × 72 mm and 300 g, against 124 × 88.6 × 101 mm and 340 g for the dual model.

A cabin camera collects personal information about your drivers. If your fleet operates in Quebec, review your obligations under Quebec's privacy law (Law 25) before recording drivers, and tell them what is recorded and why. The trade-off with road-only is the cabin view, which often settles a disputed incident.

## What does Quebec's privacy law ask of a fleet camera program?

If you operate in Quebec, the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector, as amended by Law 25, applies to footage that identifies your drivers. Section 8 requires you to tell people, when you collect their information, why you collect it, by what means and what access and rectification rights they have. Section 8.1 adds a prior notice when the technology can identify, locate or profile a person, including how those functions are activated.

Section 3.3 requires a privacy impact assessment for any project to acquire an information system that collects personal information, and section 3.1 makes the person with the highest authority in the business responsible for protecting it, unless that role is delegated in writing. A written camera policy, notice to drivers before installation and a short list of who may view footage cover much of this. This is general information, not legal advice: check your obligations with a lawyer or the Commission d'accès à l'information.

## How is a truck camera system quoted?

We quote each fleet instead of publishing a price list, because the cost depends on the number of vehicles, the auxiliary cameras each one needs, road-only or dual model and the plan features you choose. Our plans run on 3-year contracts with the equipment free, and they can include add-ons, custom plans and bundles with GPS tracking or other cameras.

Send us your vehicle list with body types, and we come back with a camera layout per vehicle and a quote that lists what each plan includes. Our Montreal team supports you in English and French before and after installation, and over 500 fleets in Canada and the United States work with High Point GPS.

## FAQ

### How many cameras can the GO Focus Pro connect?

The GO Focus Pro accepts up to 5 auxiliary cameras: up to 4 side or external rear cameras for a 360° view, plus 1 additional rear camera. These add to its built-in 1080p road camera and, on the dual model, its 1080p cabin camera. Side cameras come in small and large sizes, and the rear camera comes in standard and IP69K external versions.

### What is the difference between the GO Focus Plus and the GO Focus Pro?

The GO Focus Plus is a dual dash cam with one optional rear camera. The GO Focus Pro takes up to 5 auxiliary cameras for a 360° view, and Geotab lists pre-collision and forward collision warnings, traffic light detection, licence plate recognition and pedestrian and motorcycle detection for it. It also has dual SD slots for up to 2 TB.

### Can I watch live video from the GO Focus Pro?

Yes. The GO Focus Pro supports video on demand and real-time viewing from the trips history page in the platform. Event videos are stored for 365 days by default, so a manager can check on a vehicle while it is driving and still pull an event clip months later when a claim or complaint comes in.

### How much storage does the GO Focus Pro have?

The GO Focus Pro has dual SD card slots that take up to 1 TB each, for a total of 2 TB, and it ships with a 128 GB card. Event videos are also uploaded to the platform and kept for 365 days by default, so you do not depend on the card alone when you review an incident.

### Is the GO Focus Pro available without a driver-facing camera?

Yes. The GO Focus Pro comes in a road-only model as well as a dual model with a 1080p cabin camera. Road-only suits fleets that keep cameras off the driver for privacy, including Quebec fleets weighing their obligations under Law 25. The trade-off is the cabin view, which often settles a disputed incident.

### Who installs a 360 camera system on a truck?

Professional installers do, working for High Point GPS across North America, including Montreal. We first plan where each auxiliary camera goes for your vehicle type, then the installers mount the cameras, and we configure the AI alerts and support your staff in English and French. Planning first matters, because cameras placed by habit can miss the angle that counted in an incident.

### How much does a truck camera system cost?

High Point GPS quotes each fleet instead of publishing prices, because the cost depends on how many vehicles you equip, how many auxiliary cameras each one needs, road-only or dual model and your plan features. Our plans run on 3-year contracts that include the equipment free, and they can include add-ons, custom plans and bundles with GPS tracking.

### Is there a contract for the GO Focus Pro?

Yes. Our camera plans run on 3-year contracts, and the equipment comes free with the plan. Plans can be customized or bundled with GO10 GPS tracking and other cameras, and some include add-ons. Your quote lists what the plan covers for each vehicle, so you know exactly what you are signing before any hardware ships.

### Do truck side cameras record a side-swipe?

Yes, when a side camera covers that side. The GO Focus Pro takes up to 4 side or external rear cameras for 360° coverage, and the SAAQ notes that drivers rely on mirrors alone along the sides. Footage is tied to the trip's time, location and speed, and event videos stay in the platform for 365 days by default, so the clip is there when a claim arrives.

### Who supports the camera system after installation?

Our Montreal team does, in English and French. We configure the AI alerts and video access in the High Point GPS platform and answer questions from managers afterwards. Camera adjustments, new vehicles and changes to your layout go through the same team, so one company covers the GO10, the cameras, the installation and the platform.

### Do I have to tell drivers about cameras in Quebec?

Quebec's private-sector privacy act requires you to inform people when you collect their personal information: why, by what means and their access and rectification rights (section 8). When technology can identify, locate or profile someone, section 8.1 requires notice beforehand. Give drivers a written camera policy before installation. This is general information, so confirm how the act applies to your fleet with a lawyer.
