The railroads installed them in all of the locomotives. Inward and outward facing cams. Plus GPS and real-time reporting of all systems. One of the reasons I got out. No point in putting us through all of the training when some jackass 1000 miles away is calling you on the radio to notify you of some procedural error you may or may not have made.

We’ve had them on drilling rigs for close to 20 years watching the rig operator and all the people working on the rig floor. They only pull the footage if something unplanned happens.

The inward facing cams are solely to find a reason to fire someone for dubious reasons. "Oh, he took his safety glasses off for a second to remove his hoodie while the window was open! Investigation!" (I know a guy that got fired for this.)

Locomotives have had black boxes for decades that are randomly downloaded and always downloaded after an incident. They know exactly what the engineer was doing at all times. No need for a cam in your face watching your every move.
