IR camera-based fatigue and distraction monitoring for light and heavy vehicles. Devices to suit all fleet types — from simple plug-in to fully configured mine-site compliant systems
Driver Fatigue Monitoring for Every Vehicle and Every Site
Fatigue is a legal obligation, a safety imperative, and a mine site access requirement. Geobox has been supplying driver fatigue monitoring solutions to WA fleets since 2007 — from simple plug-in devices for hire vehicles to Safer Together compliant AI systems for major mine sites.
- 17 Years Supplying WA Fleets
- Perth-Based Support
- FMG & Safer Together Compliant Options
- Portakits Available — No Installation Required
Driver fatigue monitoring is a capability, not a single product. The right solution depends on your vehicle type, your site’s compliance requirements, your fleet management needs, and your budget. Every product in the Geobox DFM range has a clear upgrade path — you won’t start down a dead end.

Feature Notes
- Distraction, yawning, phone use, and smoking detection marked as optional on standalone DFMs are configurable via the device config file. Geobox can assist with configuration.
- Seat vibrator output is native on supported devices. The vibrator cushion is sold separately.
- 4G connectivity on standalone DFMs requires an add-on GPS tracker or telematics device connected via RS232 or seat vibrator trigger output.
- Driver ID on standalone DFMs is technically supported but requires face enrolment, which is impractical to maintain in most fleet deployments.
- Plug & Play on DFM-HV Pro and Pro X means the device works out of the box with default settings but performs better after a brief setup routine.
- Ruggedness rating: 2 mountains = Light Commercial, 3 mountains = Commercial, 4 mountains = Industrial.
Driver Fatigue Monitoring for Every Vehicle and Every Site
Factors to consider when selecting a Driver Monitoring Device
Gate Compliance — Offline Fatigue Monitor
You need a working fatigue monitor to meet site entry requirements. No fleet platform, no installation, no complexity. Best for: FMG visitor access, short-term contractors, hire vehicles, private light and heavy vehicles, cost-sensitive operators who need to get on site today.
The most affordable fatigue monitor in the Geobox range. Plug into your vehicle’s USB or cigarette socket, mount on the dashboard, and you’re running in minutes. Detects eye closure and inattention using IR camera technology that works through glasses, sunglasses, and masks. Alerts when continuous driving exceeds two hours. Meets FMG’s offline DFM gate compliance requirement and is likely to satisfy other miners’ low-tier standalone DFM
requirements.
Features:
Drowsiness detection (eyes closed)
Distraction detection (looking away)
Continuous driving alert (2 hours+)
Works through glasses, sunglasses, and masks
1080p@30fps DSM camera, FOV 88°
Operating temp: -20°C to 70°CDashboard or windscreen mount
USB/cigar jack powered — no installation required
FCC, CE, KC certified
One-year limited warranty
In the box: Main unit, cradle, USB cable, cigar jack charger, double-sided tape, locking screw, cable locking
cover
The previous entry-level light vehicle DFM. Limited stock available — superseded by the DFM-60. Suitable for personal vehicles and small light vehicle fleets where a light vehicle-specific form factor is preferred.
Connected Fatigue Monitoring — Standalone DFM with Connectivity
You need fatigue alerts that are logged, timestamped, and visible to your fleet manager or HSE team — without replacing your existing dashcam or GPS tracker. Best for: Fleet operators needing an audit trail, contractors with existing GPS trackers, operators wanting a proven upgrade path, portable kits for hire or multi-vehicle deployment.
Standalone DFMs are not a dead end. Most models connect to your existing telematics platform via a seat vibration trigger output — delivering a connected fatigue alert without a full system replacement. Many also offer video output to feed into an existing dashcam or MDVR. This means they can meet lower-tier connected compliance specs today and support a full upgrade path when you need it.
The Geobox workhorse DFM for light and heavy vehicles. Windscreen or dashboard mount, seat vibrator output, and optional video out to an existing MDVR or in-cab screen. Self-installs in minutes — works out of the box with default settings.

Connected Fatigue Monitoring — Standalone DFM with Connectivity
Driver fatigue compliance doesn’t have to mean a permanent installation. More than half of Geobox’s heavy vehicle DFM sales are portakits — a complete, self-contained fatigue monitoring solution in a zip-up carry case, ready to deploy in any vehicle in minutes.
What’s in a Portakit:
1. Your chosen DFM unit with windscreen mount
2. 12V power adaptor
3. Zip-up carry case
4. Optional: Snapper GPS tracker for connected fleet visibility
Deploy in a hire vehicle, move between machines, or keep as a spare for short-term site access.
Portakits are available for all DFM-HV models at a $170 premium above the base device cost. Add a GPS tracker for connected compliance — fatigue events are logged to your fleet platform, giving you an audit trail for HSE reporting and Chain of Responsibility compliance.
One Device — GPS Tracker, Dashcam, ADAS, and Driver Fatigue Monitor
All four devices below replace your GPS tracker, dashcam, and fatigue monitor in a single 4G connected unit on the Geobox Video Telematics platform. Events are automatically uploaded, your fleet manager reviews incidents from a web dashboard, and drivers receive real-time in-cab alerts. GPS tracking with trip history is included on all four with a platform subscription.
The difference between them is camera resolution, detection quality, and overall capability — all four detect fatigue, all four are platform connected, all four include GPS tracking.

fatigue detection accuracy. OBD and J1939 power cable options suit both light commercial and heavy vehicle
installations. Supports the full accessory ecosystem — R-Watch driver feedback display, seat vibrator, iButton
driver ID.
Features — all GB245 features plus:
Optional dedicated DSM camera for improved DFM detection accuracy

• Supports one external AHD camera + one external IPC camera — up to 4 video channels
total (2 built-in + 2 external)
• Built-in ADAS: lane departure warning, forward collision warning, headway monitoring
• Built-in DSC (driver behaviour detection) — for full DMS fatigue/distraction accuracy,
the C29N add-on camera is required (this matches Component #2 below — the C29N
isn’t optional for genuine AFDD accuracy, it’s what makes the DMS algorithm work
properly rather than the less-accurate built-in DSC)
• Dual Micro SD card storage, up to 1TB per card (2TB total)
• Built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G, GPS/GNSS
• 3-channel IO input, 1 CAN channel (J1939), 1 RS232 channel, 1 iButton channel
• Seat vibration output requires the V1.1 Powerbox (replaces the standard power box that
ships with the unit) — this is what “V1.1 Powerbox” refers to elsewhere on this page, not
a built-in feature of the core dashcam
• 6-axis sensor: harsh acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering, collision detection
(note: RT’s spec doesn’t require cornering detection, but the hardware does support it
— no change needed to the RT page content on this point)
DFM-HV Driver Fatigue Monitor for Heavy Vehicles
The new DFM HV brings improved processing power, a longer-range HD camera, and more advanced algorithms in order to accurately track drivers’ faces and pupils. This enables the device to alert them of any concerning driving behaviors that have the potential to lead to accidents on the road.

VT-AD Kit for driver fatigue detection system by Geobox
The new Driver Fatigue Detection Kit actively tracks the eyes and facial features, using intelligent algorithm analysis to detect when the driver is showing early signs of fatigue and triggering an alert and audible alarm.
The AI black box system also features an output used to activate external warning devices and third-party telematics platforms so that alerts can be remotely monitored in real-time.
