Privacy Mode: Built for Real-World Driving

 

Smart technology should support drivers, not distract or intrude. That’s why the AD Plus Smart AI Dashcam includes a built-in Privacy Mode, alongside many of our other Fleet Tracking Solutions. With one button press, drivers can turn off the cabin-facing camera when their vehicle is stationary.

It’s a simple idea that makes a big difference during breaks, in-between jobs, or while waiting at a site.

 

 

What Is Privacy Mode?

Privacy Mode temporarily disables the internal-facing camera when the vehicle is parked. With a press and hold of the dedicated button for three seconds, the system switches off the driver-facing lens. An audible tone confirms the change.

Once the vehicle begins moving again, the camera automatically turns back on. There’s nothing extra to manage, and no risk of forgetting to reactivate it.

The forward-facing road camera continues recording throughout, ensuring ongoing safety and visibility for your fleet.

 

Why It Matters

Being recorded while working is one thing. Being recorded while resting is another. Many drivers value privacy during breaks. Privacy Mode offers a clear boundary – giving them space during downtime, while still keeping the road view active for full coverage.

This feature is especially helpful for:

  • Long-haul drivers taking scheduled stops
  • Couriers and delivery drivers waiting between drops
  • Technicians or tradies on standby for the next job

Privacy Mode supports wellbeing and helps reduce fatigue, while also contributing to safer driving practices overall. Find out more about our In-Vehicle Monitoring Solutions and see what benefits it could bring to your business.

 

How Does Privacy Mode Work?

Privacy Mode is quick and easy to activate:

  • When your vehicle is parked, press and hold the privacy button on the dashcam for three seconds.
  • An audible confirmation will play, and the cabin-facing camera will turn off.
  • As soon as the vehicle starts moving again, the dashcam automatically reactivates the internal camera.

This automated process removes the need to manually switch the system back on, which is particularly useful for busy drivers. Your protection resumes the moment your vehicle moves.
