I think the Espars are made in Germany. Manufacturing has been reduced and prioritized all across the German economy because of the late unpleasantness.

I don't know what specs Swift requires, and that may not be the unit my truck needs.

I know there are A.I. Cameras in many CDL trucks now that send triggered alerts for when using phones and other in-cab related events. Which companies are using them, I don't know. You could easily put up a post on Reddit or a facebook group and ask and will get a huge response to find out which ones are. But I know they are actively being used from post on many different forums I read. I have been offered a few jobs that I turned down because they had inward facing cameras (not A.I.) It's just coming in waves and if companies are using inward facing cameras, then it is just a matter of time before they are using A.I. cameras.
As for the third party companies having access to the data being recorded, any company using a third party company for inward facing cameras are all on 24-48 hour loops. The data is written over after a period of time allocated by the third party company. Even though your hiring company tells you that "they" can't see anything other than a triggered event, this isn't true for the third party company that installed the cameras. They can look at the data and/or do anything they want with the data without your knowledge or consent. -
I've seen a setup, where I work, that is essentially a cheap imported diesel powered heater, small fuel tank, and battery mounted on a hand truck. They use them to warm the engines of airplanes prior to flying in cold weather.
