British Columbia's Bill M-217 requires outward-facing cameras on heavy commercial trucks on a phased GVW schedule. For family-run and regional carriers, the deadline is real — but so is driver trust and claims exposure if you choose the wrong hardware.

What carriers should do now

• Confirm your GVW band and compliance date with fleet operations

• Choose fleet-grade hardware with GPS-synchronized clips — not consumer dashcams that fail in court or overheat on long hauls

• Communicate driver privacy policies before inward cameras are enabled

• Plan clip review and coaching on a platform dispatch already uses

How Valentir helps

[ValenCam](/products/valen-cam) offers two packages — outward video for M-217 compliance, or road + cab with coaching-ready event clips. Professional windshield install, wireless upload when coverage allows, and onboard storage when signal drops.

Clips sync to [ValenInsights](/products/valen-insights) with GPS-matched trip history — so safety managers review incidents in context, not in isolation. Pair with [ValenTrack](/products/valen-track) tractor GPS and [ValenSolar](/products/valen-solar) trailer tracking on the same dashboard as you expand.

Valentir provides English and 中文 driver leave-behinds, phased rollout planning, and a compliance checklist B.C. regional LTL carriers have used to sign off before their GVW deadline. Two at-fault claims disputed successfully with road-facing clips — evidence when it matters.
