I think you need to think this through a little more.
No one wants to listen in on your conversations.

The company is probably doing it to decrease insurance rates.

[Wayne]

The company is doing it to get a cheaper insurance rate. Some only work when when there is an accident. It’s also going to protect you from frivolous lawsuits.

[Bennett]

I’m assuming it’s Litix cameras. They don’t continuously record and store data, typically they’ll only record 30 sec before and after an accident to see the cause or if you’re continuously going over the speed limit.

Most won’t pay for the audio as it doesn’t help reduce insurance rates and isn’t value added

[Matthew]

Ask Your self are you gonna throw away over decade of time spent at the company over a dash cam?

[Shannon]

Did they want to record inside the cap or is it more of a dash cam?

Firstly, I want to say that I agree with the folks above who are telling you that your company doesn’t care to listen to your conversations, but they do care that you’re driving safely and can go home to your family every night.

I’d first reconsider your stance on this.

Secondly, if you do decide you want out, it’s in your best interest financially to find another job and quit this one.

If you get fired for cause, you likely won’t be eligible for unemployment, and even if you did, unemployment rates in most states are a pittance compared to what you’re likely making in your role.

You’ll more easily find another job while you’re still employed vs. if you’ve been let go and/or have an employment gap.

I’m in HR and can tell you recruiters definitely look critically at terminations and gaps.

Just save yourself the hassle.

Going by the comments, chances are, your next employer will have cameras or might install them down the road. If you like your job, don’t quit.

I don’t know how easy it is to find a job if you were fired from your last job.

You may get one but get underpaid

[Patrick]

It’s not a privacy violation if you’re in their truck. Just like using company email or Internet, you have no expectation of privacy.

[Basel]

My son and brother initially had the same feeling when their company decided to install cameras in there vehicles.

But, after much thought and consideration they come to the conclusion not only does it give the company so protection but also gives you protection from false accusations.

If you have nothing to hide it won’t bother you.

[Bill]

Have you asked your employer if the cameras record audio.? Many do not. But the camera will show if you are distracted while driving (texting or typing into GPS) or eating while the vehicle is moving.

It will also document seat belt usage, and whether or not anyone not authorized is riding along in the vehicle.

[Sherri]

My husband company has cameras. It’s for insurance purposes. They aren’t trying to invade on your privacy.

Things they monitor are eating in the vehicle, wearing a seatbelt.

The vehicles also track your driving.

That being said the only thing to do is start looking for another job now.

If you’re being paid for the value you bring to the job you shouldn’t have to take a pay cut.
