B.C. Dashcam Compliance on Your Schedule
Meet British Columbia's outward-facing dashcam mandate on schedule — with GPS-synced video, driver materials, and phased rollout support for SMB fleets.
British Columbia's Bill M-217 requires outward-facing cameras on heavy commercial trucks. Missing the phased rollout dates puts your fleet at risk for penalties, insurance gaps, and driver confusion about what is required.
The challenge
Phased deadlines
GVW thresholds and dates determine when your trucks must comply
Spec requirements
cameras must meet recording, mounting, and retention expectations
Driver acceptance
operators need clear materials on what is recorded and why
Enterprise pricing
many vendors target large fleets with minimums SMB carriers cannot meet
Who this is for
B.C. carriers
operating Class 1 and heavy commercial trucks subject to M-217
Safety and compliance managers
planning a phased install across mixed fleet ages
Owner-operators and SMB fleets
that need compliant video without multi-year contracts
Insurance-conscious operators
who want outward video for claims, not just checkbox compliance
What you gain
Regulatory alignment
outward-facing video that matches M-217 intent and timelines
GPS-matched clips
tie road footage to location and time for claims review
Driver-ready materials
rollout resources in English and 中文
Phased rollout support
install priority matched to your deadline window
Fair coaching workflow
event clips for review and exoneration, not surveillance
Real-world use cases
Phased fleet rollout
equip highest-GVW units first, then expand as deadlines approach
Insurance claims
reconstruct incidents with outward video and GPS context
Driver onboarding
hand new hires clear policy materials before the first trip
Mixed fleet compliance
add video to tractors while trailer tracking stays on the same platform
