Extend your IVMS 2.0 Fleet Dashcam with real alert capability where it matters most.
The Driver Guard Hub V4 is a compact in-cab peripheral that connects directly to your existing IVMS 2.0 Fleet Dashcam, adding seat vibration, amplified audio, and external visual alerts through a single device.
In mining, construction, and energy environments, standard in-camera audio alerts are often missed. Operators wear ear protection, cabs are noisy, and fatigue events demand immediate, unmissable intervention. The Driver Guard Hub solves this by delivering alerts through multiple channels simultaneously, ensuring the driver receives the warning regardless of the environment.
With Digicore Pulse, a seat vibration pad installed beneath the driver, fatigue and distraction alerts are delivered as a physical haptic response that cannot be ignored. This meets the mandatory seat vibration (haptic) alert requirement specified in major Australian mine site IVMS specifications, including Rio Tinto, BHP, and Fortescue.
Digicore Amplified adds a 5W external speaker that delivers loud, clear audio alerts even in high-noise cabs where PPE or hearing protection is worn. For sites that require a visual alert component, the Hub supports any 12V indicator or beacon light up to 500mA, giving fleet managers the flexibility to meet site-specific requirements.
The modular design means you only add what your fleet requires. Start with the Hub and Pulse for haptic compliance, then add the speaker or light as operational needs or site specifications evolve. There is no need to replace the dashcam or rewire the vehicle.
