The Camera Control Job endpoints allow the Fleet Managers/Fleet Admins to programmatically and remotely turn ON or turn OFF an installed Dashcam of a vehicle.
Since Motive Dashcams record both driver-facing and road-facing views, these controls allow companies to respect the privacy of their drivers during the non-working hours, as well as to follow operational policies, and event-specific needs.

This is facilitated via a control job API, designed for robust integration with modern fleet operations.
