Three cameras. One dedicated driver-monitor. One platform. Built for the 5–30 service-truck HVAC company where the owner used to be a tech and still kind of is.
We tell salespeople: if the owner answers his own phone, you're in the right place. Built for residential and light-commercial HVAC service operators with 5–30 trucks where the owner is also the dispatcher, the recruiter, and the lead tech.
| Industry | Residential / light-commercial HVAC service & maintenance |
| Fleet size | 5–30 service trucks (typical 8–15) |
| Vehicle types | Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Ram Promaster, mid-size box truck |
| Already using | ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, or FieldEdge |
| Defining reality | Trucks sit at customer property for 30 min – 3 hours, unattended, with $20K–$50K in tools onboard |
Five components. Each one solves a specific HVAC problem.
| # | Component | One-time | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3-channel AI dashcam (C6 Lite 3.0 — volume-market AI dashcam covering road, cabin/driver, and cargo views from a single device. Built-in eMMC storage, cloud connectivity, native CAN-ready, parked-impact capture mode. Single-cable 15-minute install. ~$180 list.) | $180 | — |
| 2 | Dedicated driver-monitoring camera (C29N — A-pillar mounted driver monitoring system with 940nm infrared (sees through sunglasses), 0 Lux night-vision capability, rule-based plus deep-learning fatigue detection trained on millions of real-world fatigue events. ~$120.) | $120 | — |
| 3 | Standalone exterior AI camera (Sentinel — First-of-its-kind standalone exterior camera with built-in cellular, GPS, and onboard storage. Blacklight Ultra 0.02 LUX color night vision; Always-on Video 500mW continues recording for hours after vehicle ignition is off. Multi-unit deployment per vehicle. ~$150/unit. Launches June 2026.) | $150 | — |
| 4 | Pro cloud platform (Pro tier — $3/vehicle/month. AI event review, driver scorecards, coaching workflows, monthly insurance and property-management compliance reports, API integration with ServiceTitan / Housecall Pro / Jobber / FieldEdge.) | — | $3 |
| 5 | Vehicle data activation (CAN license — One-time software activation enabling native OBD-II / J1939 / FMS reading. The camera becomes your GPS tracker — eliminate any separate tracker device and data plan.) | $20 | — |
| Total per vehicle | $470 | $3 / mo | |
| Three-channel video coverage | HVAC has three independent witness needs: road footage for highway events and customer-driveway backing (the #1 HVAC claim category), cabin footage to exonerate techs against in-home accusations, and cargo footage to capture the moment tools are lifted from an open back door. |
| Dedicated driver monitoring | HVAC techs wear sunglasses outdoors all day and look down at FSM apps and gauges constantly. A standard windshield-mounted cabin camera fails on both. A-pillar 940nm infrared works through sunglasses and at 0 Lux. For HVAC specifically, this is the only architecture that actually works. |
| Standalone exterior AI camera | Tool theft happens 9 PM – 6 AM when the truck is shut off and conventional dashcams stop recording. Only a standalone camera with its own cellular, GPS, storage, and Always-on Video records during this exact window. Blacklight Ultra 0.02 LUX identifies people in residential street lighting. |
| Pro cloud platform with FSM integration | HVAC owners run their day in ServiceTitan / Housecall Pro / Jobber — not in a separate telematics dashboard. The Pro platform's API integration pushes every customer dispute and every compliance report directly into the job record the owner is already looking at. |
| Vehicle data activation | Most HVAC SMBs already pay $25–$35/vehicle/month for a separate GPS tracker. CAN license turns the dashcam into the tracker — drop the second contract on day one. Activation pays for itself in three weeks. |
| Facial recognition + vehicle immobilization (Continuous AI driver-identity verification with engine immobilization relay. No other video telematics vendor offers this.) | Add when vehicle value > $60K or you've experienced a whole-truck theft. |
| Side-mounted blind-spot camera with in-cab alert (C46A — Lightweight AHD blind-spot camera with local display, buzzer, on-device AI VRU detection.) | Add when truck has no factory backup camera, or it's a box-truck size. |
| Cargo door sensor (Magnetic open/close sensor integrated via sensor gateway.) | Add for refrigerant inventory tracking (EPA Section 608 compliance audit trail). |
| SafeGPT behavioral AI upgrade (Enterprise tier — $6/vehicle/month. Behavioral AI with risk classification, persistent driver profiles, fatigue 15 minutes pre-eye-closure, coaching prioritization.) | Add when fleet ≥ 30 vehicles and you want targeted coaching workflows. |
Payback: typically under one month. Three-year net value per truck: ~$12,150. → Run the full ROI calculator
