Tow Truck Cameras
Tow Truck & Repo Truck Camera System
The tow truck camera system designed for hookup verification, recovery documentation, repo route evidence, and the constant disputes that come with the towing business. HD video on every job, every angle, every claim.
Built for AAA-style towing, repo operations, recovery services, flatbed tow trucks, and wrecker fleets.
Where cameras typically go on a tow truck.
Tow truck installations focus on capturing the hookup area and the road. The most common configuration is a road-facing camera (windshield) and a rear-facing camera positioned to view the bed or wheel-lift area. Larger operations may add a cabin camera for repo documentation, or move to the Complete package for full multi-angle coverage including a winch operation camera.

Problem
Pre-tow vehicle condition disputes
"That damage was there when you picked it up." Pre-existing damage disputes are the #1 source of customer complaints in towing operations. Without HD video documenting the vehicle's condition before hookup, the tow operator usually pays the claim — even when the damage clearly wasn't caused during the tow.
Solution
Pre-tow HD documentation
A rear-facing camera positioned to view the bed or hookup area captures every vehicle before, during, and after hookup. When a pre-existing damage dispute arises, video evidence resolves it in minutes. Most disputes evaporate when video is offered to the customer or insurance company.
Problem
Repo confrontations and process documentation
Repossession operations carry the highest risk profile in the towing business. Confrontations happen. Allegations of improper process happen. Court challenges to the repo procedure happen. Documented HD video of the entire operation — from arrival to departure — protects both the operator and the lender's case.
Solution
Full-process repo evidence
For repo operations specifically, multi-angle coverage (road-facing, rear hookup area, optionally cabin) creates a complete record of every operation from arrival to departure. When repo procedure is challenged in court or by the borrower, the video record is admissible evidence.
Problem
Long-route fatigue and driver safety
Tow truck operations involve long stretches between calls, often during overnight hours. Driver fatigue is a real safety risk. Insurance carriers increasingly require documented safety programs. AI driver safety addresses both at once.
Solution
Real-time AI driver coaching
For tow truck operations with long routes between calls, the DMS/ADAS AI safety camera detects fatigue, distraction, and risky behavior in real time. In-cab alerts give drivers the chance to self-correct before incidents happen — and the coaching dashboard documents your safety program for insurance purposes.
Most tow truck operations start with Vision.

When tow operations need more.
Guardian
For tow operations with significant long-route mileage where AI driver safety is a higher priority than rear camera coverage.
Best when: Long-haul recovery operations where driver fatigue is the primary concern.
Guardian's hardware doesn't support both AI safety and a rear camera on the same vehicle — for both, see Complete.
Complete
For tow operations that want both rear hookup-area coverage AND AI driver safety on the same vehicle, plus optional additional cameras (cabin, side, recovery winch view).
Best when: Larger tow operations, repo specialists requiring full multi-angle documentation, or fleets wanting both AI and rear evidence.
