Live video, safer drivers, full control with Navixy and LightMetrics, no hardware switch needed

At Navixy, we believe your tech should fit your business—not the other way around. That’s why our platform is built around integrations. We help fleets connect the tools they already trust and stay flexible as their needs grow.

Our latest integration with Lightmetrics is another step in that direction, bringing AI video, driver insights, and real-time visibility into the Navixy ecosystem without locking you into new hardware. Here’s how it works—and why it makes a difference.

Why fragmented telematics is holding businesses back

Modern fleet ecosystems are complex by design. Vehicles, cargo, drivers, warehouses, and mobile assets all rely on data—and that data comes from devices that aren’t always built to work together.

Mixing hardware isn’t the problem. The problem is what happens after: data silos, context switching, and expensive integrations that can’t keep up with the pace of operations.

For many businesses, this results in:

• Incomplete visibility across fleets
• Delayed decisions due to scattered data
• Lock-in to specific vendors or platforms
• Slower rollout of safety and compliance measures

What companies want isn’t more tools. They want solutions that make the company's data work together, and keep working no matter what GPS trackers, MDVRs, or systems get added to the list. Platforms that unify, simplify, and provide for scaling.

Device-agnostic ecosystem to connect everything. LightMetrics included

Navixy addresses this challenge with a platform purpose-built to unify fragmented telematics environments. Designed for enterprise-scale operations, it connects data from across vehicles, drivers, cargo, and infrastructure, no matter the device or manufacturer.

This hardware-neutral (or hardware-agnostic) approach gives businesses the freedom to choose the best-fit tools for each part of their operation—whether that’s an MDVR in a city bus, a compact dashcam in a courier van, or a temperature sensor in a cold-chain trailer. Navixy pulls all these devices into one system, so teams can track and manage everything without jumping between tools.

Smarter video with LightMetrics: AI, alerts, and full context

To enhance our ecosystem, we’ve partnered with LightMetrics, whose technology brings AI-powered driver behavior analytics and live video streaming into the Navixy platform.

This integration adds powerful video functionality to your fleet without replacing your current hardware. LightMetrics supports a wide range of dashcams and MDVRs, so upgrades are seamless.

Through this integration, fleet operators can:

• Stream live video directly in the Navixy dashboard
• Receive real-time safety alerts linked to driver behavior (e.g., distraction, fatigue, harsh braking)
• Review event-triggered clips alongside GPS and sensor data
• Manage everything from one platform without app switching or duplicate logins

It’s video telematics with full operational context, all in one place. What makes this integration especially valuable is how well it fits real-world operations.

LightMetrics supports a wide range of dashcams and MDVRs, which means companies can enhance video capabilities without replacing existing hardware. Here are some of the many video telematics devices that work with LightMetrics and integrate into Navixy:

LightMetrics brings more than just compatibility to the table.

With custom firmware, they’re able to fine-tune how each device performs and make it easier to connect with other systems, like third-party sensors. Their AI is trained to pick up key events—things like distracted driving, sudden braking, or lane departures—so teams can step in early, before a close call becomes a real problem.

It’s proven tech, too. LightMetrics holds up in large, demanding deployments and keeps delivering consistent results. And because it supports a wide range of camera hardware, you don’t need to standardize your fleet just to roll out smarter video.

That approach fits right in with how we do things at Navixy. We give teams the tools to work with what they already have—and the flexibility to scale on their own terms.

Let’s take a quick look under the hood to see how it all comes together.

What’s under the hood? Modern technologies make a difference

Seamless integration between complex systems like LightMetrics and Navixy depends on robust, modern technologies. At the core of this integration are three key components:

• Apache Kafka, which handles real-time GPS data and event-driven communication between systems
• iFrame technology, used to embed live video streams and playback requests directly into the Navixy interface
• Proprietary SSO (single sign-on), which enables secure, streamlined access to the embedded LightMetrics portal through Navixy

This setup ensures real-time responsiveness and smooth video experiences across the entire platform.

Kafka: Real-time integration between LightMetrics and Navixy

In our integration with LightMetrics, Apache Kafka plays a central role. It’s a high-performance platform designed for real-time data streaming, and it’s what makes fast, reliable communication between systems possible. More importantly, it helps automate a lot of what would otherwise be manual or delayed in typical telematics setups.

Here’s what that looks like in practice.

GPS data transmission

Every time a vehicle moves significantly—or at regular intervals—it sends updated location data through Kafka. Navixy processes that stream instantly, so you get accurate, up-to-the-moment tracking with much less strain on the system compared to traditional polling methods.

Handling critical events

When something like harsh braking, speeding, an ADAS or DMS alert, or a panic button press happens, LightMetrics devices send detailed, structured event data through Kafka. That includes a timestamp, location, and often media links. Navixy picks it up in real time and can immediately trigger alerts or run predefined workflows.

So why Kafka? What makes it the right fit here?

• It’s built for scale. Kafka can handle millions of messages per second, with very low latency
• It’s asynchronous. Devices don’t wait for a response, which keeps everything responsive and snappy
• It’s reliable. With message persistence, replication, and replay built in, nothing falls through the cracks
• It keeps a record. You get an event history that’s useful for audits, debugging, or restoring system state when needed

In short, Kafka gives us a solid, proven foundation for building event-driven integrations that are fast, scalable, and dependable—which is exactly what’s needed in a modern telematics ecosystem.

Elevating video telematics: how SSO-powered IFrames keep everything in one place

To make video telematics truly seamless, we use iFrame technology. It’s what allows content from LightMetrics to appear directly inside the Navixy interface—so there’s no need to jump between systems or open separate windows.

Here’s what that unlocks.

Live video streaming

Dispatchers and fleet managers can view live footage from a vehicle’s camera right inside Navixy. It gives them real-time visibility without having to leave the platform or log into another tool.

Access to past video

If something happened earlier, users can go back and pull video from a specific date and time. This is especially helpful when reviewing incidents or gathering evidence.

Video linked to alerts

When the system detects something like harsh braking or a DMS alert, it automatically attaches the corresponding video clip. That way, teams can immediately see what happened and how serious it was—no digging required.

Remote commands

Admins can send commands directly to the device—things like triggering a snapshot or checking device health—without leaving Navixy.

On top of all that, proprietary SSO keeps the experience secure and hassle-free. Users don’t have to log in separately to access video content, and admins can manage permissions centrally. It reduces friction for users and ensures that only the right people have access to sensitive data, like live video or incident footage.

When you combine IFrames with SSO—and layer in Navixy’s APIs and SDKs—you get a secure, flexible integration setup that keeps partner systems tightly connected while keeping everything easy to use.

Building on the integration: tools that take it further

The integration between Navixy and Lightmetrics brings video, GPS, and safety analytics into one unified system. But for many enterprise teams, the real advantage is in how easily this ecosystem connects with the rest of their tech stack.

To support that, Navixy offers a set of optional tools that make the platform even more flexible and adaptable.

• Webhooks and HTTP-based protocols ideal for pushing real-time event data into external systems as soon as something happens
• Message queues (like ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ) useful for high-throughput, asynchronous data exchange in larger deployments
• Proprietary binary and text-based protocols that allow smooth integration with legacy or specialized hardware setups
• IoT Logic—a low-code environment for building automation flows and custom processing without deep programming

These tech solutions extend what the Navixy–Lightmetrics ecosystem can do—helping teams build safer, smarter, and more connected fleets that grow with their operations.

Final word: Bringing it all together

This integration is one more example of how Navixy helps businesses get more out of their existing tech—without starting from scratch.
