AI dash cams and MDVRs, sold through distribution

BSJ against Streamax

Same class of device, same AI on the box, between a half and a third of the price — and their platform is a licence per vehicle per month where ours is nought. Everything below is a published figure with the VAT taken off. The honest part of this page, including the two rows we lose, is at the bottom.

Per camera, ex VAT

€145–189

Streamax: €284–397

Platform, per vehicle per month

€0

Streamax: €4.49–11.21

Three years, one vehicle

€169

Streamax: €446–801

The price

The same class of camera, both sides, in euros

Streamax does not publish a price, but its European distributors do. These are list prices at one of them, on one day, with the 21 % Spanish VAT taken off so they stand next to our ex-works figure rather than above it.

BSJ EH26 — 2 × 1080p, H.265, ADAS and DMS on board

€145–189

Streamax C6 Lite V2 — 2 × 1080p at 20 fps, ADAS and DSM

€284

Streamax AD Plus 2.0 with a 256 GB card — 2 channels, ADAS and DSM

€397

Streamax M1N-H0402 — MDVR with 4G, Wi-Fi and GPS

€486

Streamax X3N Pro-H0404 — 4-channel recorder, 4G and GPS

€942

€0 €250 €500 €750 €1,000
Read at orbitadigital.com on 22 September 2026, VAT removed. Ours is what an integrator pays us per camera, by annual volume, ex works — freight and duty are still yours. Their four-channel recorder is here because ours is quoted per configuration and has no list price to draw against it.

The three years after it

Three years of one vehicle, licence included

The camera is bought once and the platform is bought thirty-six times, which is why the hardware price is the smaller half of this argument. Streamax's FTCloud is sold as a licence per vehicle per month, in three tiers that differ by how long the footage is kept: 14 days, 90 days, 180 days.

BSJ EH26 and FleetSight

€169

The camera at the 50–199 tier, and a platform with no licence line

C6 Lite V2 and FTCloud Essential

€446

€4.49 a month — 500 MB of cloud and 14 days of retention

AD Plus 2.0 and FTCloud Pro

€666

€7.47 a month — 12 GB and 90 days

AD Plus 2.0 and FTCloud Enterprise

€801

€11.21 a month — 12 GB and 180 days, the full feature set

€0 €200 €400 €600 €800
Our camera, once Their hardware, once Their platform, thirty-six times
Ex VAT, one vehicle, thirty-six months. Licence prices from the same distributor, which describes each one as a licence per vehicle per month. Ours is nought for all thirty-six, and the fleet's monthly bill is whatever you charge them for SIM and support — none of it comes to us.

Feature by feature, including the ones we lose

Both are two-channel AI dash cams with the road and the driver watched on the device, so most of this table is a draw. The rows that are not a draw are the ones worth reading, and two of them go their way.

  BSJ EH26 Streamax AD Plus 2.0 / C6 Lite V2
ADAS and driver monitoring on the device
Standard across the dash cam range, not an option line
Standard on both — this is not where the difference is
Video platform

FTCloud, €4.49–11.21 a vehicle a month, under their brand
Frame rate at 1080p
30 fps
C6 Lite V2 records both channels at 20 fps; AD Plus 2.0 goes to 1920p
H.265
On EH26 — the same clip costs half as much to lift off the SIM
AD Plus 2.0 yes; C6 Lite is H.264
Input voltage
9–36 V on EH26, and 9–90 V on DR03 and EH80
C6 Lite V2 is 9–24 V — thin for a 24 V truck on charge

6 rows ours, 2 theirs, the rest a draw. Specifications from bsjiot.com and from the distributor's own datasheet for each Streamax model, read 20–22 September 2026. Where the two Streamax models differ, the note says which one is which.

The rest of the quote

Their whole price list, so you can cost the vehicle and not the box

A dash cam is one line of a quote. On a truck the quote has a driver camera, a blind-spot pair and sometimes a 360° kit on it, and that is where a price list stops being a headline figure. These are the same distributor's prices, ex VAT.

Streamax What it is Ex VAT On our side
ST-ADPLUS-20-PRIVATE AD Plus 2.0 in the private-hire configuration €381 EH26 at €145–189, one configuration, AI on
ST-C6LITE-SA C6 Lite stand-alone, front camera €336 ES803 — the one-channel AI camera, when detection is the point

ST-BSD-1080P-L and -R Blind-spot cameras, one each side €120 each BSD is an event type on the ED02R-V2 and ED08R-V2
ST-AVM-KIT 360° surround-view kit for a large vehicle €1,163 Not in our catalogue. If the customer wants AVM, this is theirs
ST-FTCLOUDLC-ES / -PR / -EN FTCloud licence, per vehicle per month €4.49 / €7.47 / €11.21 €0, white-labelled, no tier ladder

Re-read 22 September 2026. The point of this table is not that their accessories are dear — an AHD camera is an AHD camera. It is that on a two-channel fitting the ADAS and the driver camera are already inside the €145–189, and on their side the same fitting starts at €284 before anything is added to it.

When to buy theirs instead

  • If your customer specifies Streamax by name, buy Streamax. The gap closes deals; it does not win arguments about brand.
  • If you need E-mark on the paperwork for a European fitting, check the certificate of the exact model with us first — it may not be there.
  • Their card takes 1 TB and ours takes 512 GB. On a vehicle that has to keep a fortnight of both channels on board, that is their row and no discount fixes it.
  • Our price is ex works and theirs is a European distributor's, delivered. Freight, duty and your own customs time come off our gap before you quote — count on a slice of it, not all of it.
  • If you are fitting twenty cameras a year and billing them at cost, the €115–230 saved per camera is not going to change your business. At a hundred cameras with the licence counted, it is €28,000 over three years, and that does change it.

Our side of the table

The models this page has been arguing about

Every figure above is one of these three. The specification on each page is transcribed from the manufacturer's own product page, with a link to it at the bottom so you can check the transcription rather than trust it.

Then there are the two questions a price never answers: what the fitting involves and what it costs , and which platforms these run on today .

Price list and two demo cameras

Put one in a vehicle before you decide.

Tell us the platform you run, the vehicles you fit and roughly how many cameras a year. You get the current price list, the certificate list for the models you care about, and two demo cameras configured for your platform before they ship — at your own trade price, credited against your first order.
