Camera video monitoring and the Direct Vision Standard (DVS)

Operating in London brings its own requirement: the Direct Vision Standard (DVS), a Transport for London scheme that requires HGVs over 12 tonnes to hold a valid safety permit to operate in most of Greater London. Every eligible vehicle receives a star rating from 0 to 5, set by the manufacturer and based on how much a driver can see directly through the cab windows.

Since 28 October 2024, vehicles rated three stars or above can apply for a permit without needing to demonstrate compliance with the Progressive Safe System. Vehicles rated 0, 1, or 2 stars must fit a Progressive Safe System (PSS), a defined set of safety measures, before they remain eligible. A camera monitoring system is one of seven required components of that system, alongside mirrors, sensors, audible warnings, and external signage.

Operating an eligible HGV in Greater London without a valid permit can result in a penalty charge notice of up to £550, reduced to £275 if paid within 14 days. If the penalty charge isn't paid or challenged within 28 days, it increases to £825.

A dash cam or camera system on its own does not make a vehicle DVS compliant. Compliance depends on the specific technical requirements TfL sets for the Progressive Safe System, and on your vehicle’s existing star rating. If DVS applies to any part of your fleet, it is worth checking your current rating and what a compliant camera setup needs to include before you buy anything. Our fleet compliance guide covers the wider picture of UK fleet regulation.

FAQs

Do I need a dash cam to comply with the Direct Vision Standard?

+

Not on its own. DVS compliance for a vehicle rated 0 to 2 stars depends on fitting a full Progressive Safe System, of which a camera monitoring system is one of seven required components, alongside measures like mirrors, sensors, audible warnings, and external signage. Whether a specific camera setup satisfies the technical requirements depends on your vehicle’s star rating and the exact specification TfL sets. Check your rating before assuming any camera system makes you compliant.

What is the difference between a fleet dash cam and a consumer dash cam?

+

A consumer dash cam records to a memory card that someone has to retrieve from the vehicle. A fleet dash cam uploads footage automatically to a central platform, applies rules such as G-force detection, and gives a fleet manager visibility across every vehicle rather than one. Our guide to AI dash cams covers what to look for when comparing systems.

Can a driver-facing camera detect phone use and fatigue?

+

Yes. The driver-facing AI camera on our Dual AI Camera and equivalent packages gives live feedback on mobile phone use, smoking, distracted driving, and signs of fatigue, alongside forward collision and headway warnings. Feedback goes to the driver at the time, and the footage feeds into driver behaviour analysis afterwards.

How is dash cam footage used for claims disputes?

+

Footage from the moments before and after an incident uploads automatically to the platform, and additional footage is available through the video supplier platform for claims disputes. That evidence helps resolve liability questions and supports claims disputes without relying on driver accounts alone.
