Lytx SF500 DriveCam System
Driver Facing Camera
Warning: The Lytx DriveCam event recorder is a driver aid only. It is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious driver. It cannot compensate for a driver that is distracted, inattentive, or impaired by fatigue, drugs, or alcohol. Whether or not the Lytx DriveCam event recorder is in use, it is always the responsibility of the driver to take appropriate corrective action. Never wait for the Lytx DriveCam event recorder to provide a warning or audible alert before taking measures to avoid an accident. Failure to do so can result in severe property damage, serious personal injury or death.
The Lytx SF5009 DriveCam System constantly monitors driving behaviors. When risky driving behavior is detected it begins a recording, indicated by a red light in the camera. An audible alert sounds to alert the driver. The alerts can not be muted and continue to occur until the driver corrects the behavior.

-
Driver Smoking
-
Food or Drink
-
Handheld Device
-
Inattentive or Distracted Driver
-

The Lytx SF500 DriveCam System automatically turns on a privacy mode when the parking brake is set. When the vehicle is on, it is indicated by a solid blue LED light on the Lytx camera. This mode cannot be initiated by the driver.
Videos can be viewed on the Lytx account system which requires approval to access.
