SmartDrive Systems, Inc. is a global Measured Safety Program company located in San Diego, California, USA. SmartDrive measures safety for fleet vehicle drivers by monitoring their driving habits as well as capturing accidents and erratic driver behaviors through video. This is done by installing cameras in the vehicles and reviewing events that are generated by the cameras. A SmartDrive camera includes two lenses--one facing the front of the vehicle and one facing the inside of the vehicle--that capture events generated by the camera's g-force sensors. These events are professionally reviewed by SmartDrive and reports are created for the fleet managers.
On November 13, 2007, SmartDrive disclosed that it received $46 million in venture funding, primarily from Oak Investment Partners and New Enterprise Associates.[1]
