Garmin unveils a new rugged cam designed to cover blind spots — and it’s the safety device truck drivers need

  • Garmin’s dēzl DualView system comprises two exterior cameras and transmitter
  • They are IPX7-rated and designed to cover a truck’s blind spots
  • The package costs $999.99 / £879.99 (Australia pricing / availability TBC)

Leading dash cam maker Garmin has unveiled a different kind of vehicle cam that’s designed specifically for trucks – and it’s called the dēzl DualView.

The system comprises a transmitter and two IPX7-rated exterior cameras which can be mounted to a truck’s rearview mirror or down each side to provide a clear view of any remaining blind spots, complete with visual alerts when other vehicles enter the spots covered by the cameras. Mounting hardware is also supplied.

Gaining a full surrounding view of the truck should give truck drivers greater confidence for any maneuvers such as turning, changing lanes and reversing, and are great news for other vehicles, especially motorbikes and cyclists who may otherwise go undetected as a truck driver makes such maneuvers.

Naturally, the dēzl DualView can also record journeys like any dash cam, delivering 1080p video, and auto saving incidents onto microSD card storage.

The live feed can be viewed on a driver’s paired tablet or dēzl LGV truck sat nav. When paired with the latter, drivers can use voice command to control the camera’s view, see saved video and check location, speed, date and incident time overlays.

Videos can be viewed on and shared through the Garmin Drive mobile app, provided the user is signed up to Garmin’s optional Vault plan ($9.99 / £9.99 per month or $99.99 / £99.99 per year).

The road safety device that every truck should have

I’ve personally sat in the driver’s seat of a truck (during a cycling safety course) and can testify to the extent of blind spots when at the wheel. Such knowledge has impacted where I ride on two wheels around a moving truck.

However, I would find it reassuring to know that a truck is armed with a device like the Garmin dēzl DualView, as I’m sure those at the wheel of such vehicles would be too.

Until such a time that all trucks are fitted with such safety devices, the Garmin dēzl DualView looks like a decent accessory, costing $999.99 / £879.99 at Garmin for the transmitter, two exterior cameras and mounting hardware (Austrailia pricing TBC).
