The 2025 Brisbane Truck Show saw Webfleet, a Bridgestone company, launch its most advanced video telematics solution yet — Webfleet Video 2.0 — drawing strong attention from fleet managers and transport operators eager for smarter, safer solutions.
In a conversation with Fleet News Group, Jonny Clarke, a long-time representative for Webfleet, introduced the two new dashcam offerings — Cam Light and Cam Pro — which go far beyond traditional vehicle cameras by incorporating AI, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and DMS (Driver Monitoring System) technology.
“These aren’t just dashcams,” Jonny explained. “They’re advanced tools for understanding driver behaviour and managing safety in real time. We’ve moved past just reporting on what happened — now we can help prevent incidents before they occur.”
The Cam Pro, the flagship model, is designed for complex vehicle setups and offers up to eight auxiliary camera inputs and two terabytes of storage — levels typically seen only in high-end bus or coach systems. “That’s unheard of in a dashcam,” Jonny said. “But we wanted to bring that level of sophistication into the hands of everyday fleet operators.”
Unlike many legacy systems that require data to be downloaded once a vehicle returns to base, Webfleet Video 2.0 offers real-time cloud-based access. “If there’s a harsh braking event or signs of fatigue, the footage is automatically uploaded,” said Jonny. “Fleet managers can receive alerts instantly and intervene quickly — it’s about supporting drivers and improving outcomes, not catching people out.”
This instant feedback loop is a game-changer for driver coaching and accident prevention. “We’ve all had moments behind the wheel,” Jonny admitted. “Sometimes it’s my own dashcam picking up when I’ve taken a corner a little too fast — but that feedback corrects my behaviour immediately. That’s the power of AI and machine learning.”
Webfleet’s presence at the show was anchored by a Bridgestone service truck on display, fitted with the new system. “We’re not just selling this — we’re using it,” said Jonny. “Our Bridgestone colleagues have rolled it out across their network. When you see a company of that scale embracing the technology internally, you know it’s been built to deliver.”
Visitors to the Brisbane Truck Show were able to see live demonstrations of the software interface and how the system operates inside a vehicle. From monitoring in-cabin distractions to offering additional views from trailer-mounted cameras, the Video 2.0 suite offers a holistic approach to fleet safety.
“We’ve gone from dots on a map to real insight,” said Jonny. “Fleet managers can now see what’s actually happening on the road — and act on it.”
As the trucking and transport sectors look to improve safety and reduce risk, AI-powered video solutions like Webfleet’s are expected to become essential tools. With availability now confirmed for Australia and New Zealand, the timing couldn’t be better.
For fleet operators considering their next move in telematics, the message from the show was clear: real-time video is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s the new standard.
