    Day in the Life in this role:

    Who We Are!

    SureCam is a leader in video telematics, focused on providing the easiest and most actionable fleet technology solution for small and midsize businesses with vehicles. We make vehicle tracking and video easy for busy companies through an ecosystem of cloud-connected hardware and software products.

    SureCam is quickly becoming the solution of choice for small and midsize businesses, focused on industries such as construction, field service, home service, energy, local delivery, materials, and others. These fleet owners and managers are busy, overwhelmed, and want to focus on running their core business. Managing and maintaining vehicles is a liability and a burden, and traditional technology solutions have been too complicated and too expensive.

    Companies with fleets have shifted from viewing video as a “nice to have” to a “need to have” given the drastic rise in insurance costs and nuclear verdicts. SureCam is positioned to capture market share as video telematics enters its peak growth years. Of 90 million commercial vehicles in North America and Europe, less than 4 million are using connected video today. The expected surge in adoption is projected to drive the video telematics market up to $3.3B by 2026.
