    Nothing to do with cameras, but when you get this repaired, maybe go with a better product than Kemlite for a liner? I used to have this problem all the time, usually low on the wall where they'd run in with the forks too high and strike the wall with the pallet. I had a 24" tall scuff plate made of real hard plastic material installed that finally stopped most of it. The Great Dane trailers i have now, one has Puncture Guard and the other Thermo Guard liners. Both are metal core and have withstood the worst. Zero punctures or tears. I know Utility and others offer similar.

    $8,000 is just about enough to claim it on your physical damage and let the insurance lawyers have at it with whoever did it. The direction of the tear ought to suggest whodunit.

    Motive has a new blue tooth camera but you got to run it through their ELD.
    Pictures I have seen from top of mirror mount are very detailed and a wide lens.

    Wondering about a camera watching your trailer tires ???

    Some Amazon trailers have cameras inside. I noticed a little solar panel on the rear driver side, looked inside and there was a sign saying video recording and a camera there.

    Interesting. i wonder if that's only for high value loads? Also, I wonder if the driver can see it or if it's just beamed to Amazon security somewhere, which is probably a pretty big thing by now.

    I have a ring camera in my truck. It’s connected to internet. Costs me $25 a month for the internet.
