Most leased owner-operators don't get excited about any fleet's dual-cam system, but carriers have adopted them for a reason: extra liability protection, an extra layer of proof the drivers remained in full control in the event of an accident.
The same can apply for your own independent one-truck business, but of course, and in today's huge market for dashcams, there are plenty options for simple front- and cab-facing dashcams you fully control, within a reasonable budget, too.
Consider the Nexus 2X two-cam unit from Vantrue.
It’s also equipped with a 158-degree front-facing camera and a 165-degree interior camera, offering near full coverage at both angles, giving operators extra peace of mind in the event of an accident in which evidence is needed.
The front camera features a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 5M CMOS sensor for improved clarity and a better low-light picture. The cabin camera utilizes four infrared LED lights that automatically work once the camera detects low light and presents clear black and white recordings.

With 5GHz high-frequency Wi-Fi, users can set up the cam with their smartphone; view, edit and download video clips with the phone; and do it all faster than with its predecessor model's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
The Vantrue app enables the Wi-Fi connection, likewise fimware updates for the dashcam and easy generation/downloading of route reports.
Hardwired to the truck, the Nexus 2X features a 24/7 parking mode provides coverage around the clock.
