OLATHE, Kan. — Garmin is launching dēzl DualView, a new blind-spot monitoring system for truckers.
“In keeping with our focus of simplifying life for professional truck drivers, the dēzl DualView is a purpose-built solution that promotes increased driver awareness when behind the wheel,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing. “Not only does it give drivers more confidence when changing lanes or backing up but also having video proof of events can be invaluable for protecting their driving reputation.”
dēzl DualView
According to Garmin, dēzl DualView is a rugged two-camera system that keeps over-the-road drivers aware of their surroundings by providing a clear, live view down each side of their truck. Once installed, video from the camera system is viewable in-cab on a paired tablet, dēzl OTR navigator or compatible RV navigator, allowing users to monitor blind spots and receive alerts for merging traffic. Drivers can also operate their vehicle with peace of mind, knowing that any detected incident on the road will automatically be recorded in 1080p HD video and saved on a microSD memory card.
