Who We Are! 

SureCam
is a fast-growing technology company in the telematics industry.  We

manage their fleets.  We believe that small and mid-size businesses keep

fleets safer, and more profitably, through our connected dash cameras

vehicle drivers, owners, and the communities they serve. We are
committed to offering a simple and affordable solution for our target
market.  We’re here to help safety managers and fleet owners find the
technology they need to get the job done. We believe every fleet, from 5
vehicles to 5,000 should have access to the same best-in-class
technology that provides real-time visibility into what’s happening on
the road. 

Global footprint SureCam serves
thousands of fleets around the globe, including North America, UK /

continents.
