In May a survey carried out by drivers' union First Union, found cameras that record inside the cab were a leading reason why truck drivers were quitting. Gareth Balfour, the New Zealand agent for the Lytx DriveCam system said there was no reason for drivers to be filmed continuously. The US-made Lytx cameras snap short events inside and outside a vehicle, and can also be enabled to record continuously.

'They were spying on me' - US driverDriveCam's continuous recording function was available overseas before October 2018.
