Hardware
Dashcams + video telematics — built for AU mining and Tier 1 construction.
Two Teltonika dashcam options paired with the FMC650 telematics device. Forward-facing and driver-facing. AU mining spec (BMA, Rio Tinto, FMG), Tier 1 construction site compliant, and insurance-led fleet safety programmes.
Why now
Why AU fleets are adding dashcams
Three converging drivers are pushing AU fleets toward dashcam deployment — and they're stacking on top of each other rather than competing.
Mining-site compliance
Major mining operators — BMA (BHP Mitsubishi Alliance), Rio Tinto, FMG and others — have rolled out dashcam requirements for vehicles operating on their sites. Forward-facing and in some cases driver-facing video is part of the site-access spec.
Tier 1 head contractor requirements
Large head contractors increasingly want dashcam coverage on sub-contractor light commercial fleet operating on their sites. Tender response improves with documented dashcam compliance.
Insurance-led programmes
AU fleet insurers offer premium discounts for dashcam-equipped fleets — particularly forward-facing cameras paired with driver scorecards. Evidence plus behaviour-change typically reduces claim frequency and severity, and insurers price for it.
Hardware options
Two Teltonika dashcam options
Teltonika Dashcam — single forward-facing camera
Road-view, mounted at the windscreen. Captures incidents in front of the vehicle: other-driver fault evidence, road hazards, near-misses. Pairs with the FMC650 telematics device for cellular upload. Suitable for fleet vehicles on public roads and on mining / construction sites.
Teltonika DualCam — forward-facing AND driver-facing in one unit
Captures both road view and driver-cabin view. Driver behaviour: fatigue events, distracted driving, mobile phone use, seatbelt status. Useful for driver coaching when paired with the Teletrack driver scorecard. Required by some AU mining-site specifications that need both road and operator footage.
Pricing
Upfront hardware and subscription
- Teltonika Dashcam (single forward): $200 + GST per camera, upfront.
- Teltonika DualCam (forward + driver-facing): price TBC — confirmed at quote time.
- Teltonika FMC650 telematics device: $280 + GST — required for both dashcam options. Drives the cellular video bandwidth.
Subscription is the standard Track tier at $21.90 / asset / month + GST. PROSTART® add-on ($10 / asset / month) recommended for fleets pairing dashcam with pre-start enforcement — a typical mining-site spec deployment runs dashcam + PROSTART® together.
Why the FMC650 is the required telematics device
Both Teltonika dashcam options connect to a head-unit that provides cellular bandwidth and platform integration. The standard FMM650 doesn't have the bandwidth for video — that's why dashcam deployments specifically require the FMC650, the higher-bandwidth Cat 1 variant. If you're spec-ing a vehicle that needs both heavy-duty CAN telematics AND dashcam, the FMC650 covers both — same form factor and CAN capability as the FMM650, plus video bandwidth. If you're adding dashcam to an existing FMM650 deployment, the vehicle will need an FMC650 swap.
Deployment
Typical dashcam kit per vehicle
1 x Teltonika FMC650 telematics device
Telematics + video bandwidth + immobilisation output. Required regardless of which dashcam SKU you choose.
Teltonika Dashcam or DualCam
Single SKU per vehicle — forward-only Dashcam, or forward + driver-facing DualCam. Site spec dictates which.
Professional install
Auto-electrician installation via our partner network. Typically 1-2 hours per vehicle, on the road same day.
Track + PROSTART® subscription
$31.90 / asset / month — telematics + Maintenance Module + PROSTART®. The typical mining-site spec runs dashcam + PROSTART® together.
Pair with
Where dashcams pair well
Driver scorecard
Dashcam footage tied to harsh-braking, acceleration and cornering events gives you coaching evidence. Driver behaviour change is faster when you can show the operator what happened.
PROSTART® pre-starts
Pre-start failure events on dashcam-equipped vehicles auto-link the dashcam clip from around the failure window. Investigation evidence ends up in one place.
Portal sharing (head contractor mode)
Head contractors managing Tier 1 sites can see sub-contractor dashcam compliance status at a glance. Useful for tender response and site-access management.
Common questions
Are the dashcams BMA-compliant?
The Teltonika dashcam options paired with the FMC650 telematics device are positioned for AU mining-site spec requirements — BMA, Rio Tinto, FMG. Site specifications change; we'll confirm current compliance status for your specific deployment as part of the quote conversation. Don't rely on a generic 'BMA-compliant' claim without confirming against the current spec.
Forward-only or forward + driver-facing?
Site-dependent. Some mining specifications require both; some require only forward-facing. Insurance-led deployments often start forward-only. Talk to us about the specific requirement on your site.
Why do I need the FMC650 if I already have an FMM650?
The FMM650 doesn't have the bandwidth for video streaming. The FMC650 is the higher-bandwidth Cat 1 variant — same form factor, same CAN capability, plus video. If you're adding dashcam to an existing FMM650 deployment, the vehicle will need an FMC650 swap.
Where is dashcam footage stored?
On the device and on Teletrack servers. Video records to the SD card in the dashcam (64 GB on the single-camera, 128 GB on the DualCam) for full-resolution local retention, and event clips plus on-demand pulls upload via cellular through the FMC650 to teletrack-managed AWS Sydney storage. We don't auto-delete your data. Exportable as evidence for incidents, claims, or audits.
Does the operator know they're being filmed (driver-facing camera)?
Yes. Driver-facing cameras are clearly visible and operators are informed as part of vehicle commissioning. Operator privacy practices vary by employer policy; Teletrack's role is to capture the footage when configured to.
What about insurance discounts?
Several AU insurers offer fleet premium discounts for dashcam-equipped vehicles — particularly when paired with a driver scorecard programme. Talk to your insurer about your specific arrangement; we'll provide the technical documentation they typically ask for.
How long does install take?
Typically 1-2 hours per vehicle for a professional auto-electrician — camera install, FMC650 wiring, commissioning. We arrange the install through our partner network.
Can I retrofit dashcams to existing vehicles in my fleet?
Yes. Most retrofit deployments are standard — auto-electrician install via our partner network, vehicle in for a couple of hours, back on the road the same day.
