The Samsara Dash Cam provides in-cab alerts with either a tone or voice coaching to notify drivers of detected events. Drivers can use this real-time feedback to adjust their behavior to maintain safety for themselves and others on the road. Voice coaching can be enabled and configured for the entire fleet or for individual vehicles, while tone alerts can only be configured at the fleet level.
You can configure in-cab alert settings for both VG-detected and AI-detected alert types:
-
VG-Detected Audio Alerts: These settings control in-cab audio alerts triggered by events detected by the Vehicle Gateway (VG), such as harsh driving events or speeding. For more information, see VG-Detected Audio Alerts.
-
Fleet-Wide Settings: To configure voice coaching and tone alert settings for your entire fleet, see Configure In-cab Alerts for Your Fleet.
-
Individual Vehicle Settings: To configure voice coaching for specific vehicles (tone alerts are not available at the individual vehicle level), refer to Configure In-cab Voice Coaching for Individual Vehicles.
-
-
AI-Detected Audio Alerts: These settings manage in-cab audio alerts triggered by events detected by the dash cam. When detection and audio alerts are enabled, the alert type (tone or voice-coaching) reflects the fleet-level configuration. To enable in-cab alerts for AI-detected events, refer to the topic for each detection type.
The voice coaching setting is supported for the following dash cam models:
-
CM12
-
CM22
-
CM31
-
CM32
-
CM33
-
CM34
You can enable audio alerts for VG-detected safety events such as harsh events, speeding, and VG-detected unbuckled seat belts. From the Voice Coaching setting, you can Configure In-cab Alerts for Your Fleet or Configure In-cab Voice Coaching for Individual Vehicles.
