The in cab monitor displays images produced from camera, video player,or DVR video signal.

Resolution specification determines image quality and therefore amount of detail that can be seen.

Most vehicle camera kits we supply have colour TFT monitors.

Monitor size can be specified for your application.

Camera monitors can be specified to replace interior mirror

Observation systems with multiple camera video inputs to a single monitor displaying quad images can be supplied particular useful for crop flow monitoring through agricultural harvesting machines.

Monitors can be specified with selectable camera input to display the image from one camera only at a time. This is sometime less confusing to the operator.

Audio enabled monitors are available where sound monitoring of camera area is required.

Camera type

0-870-30

Ultrasonic detectors may be fitted to the nearside of the truck tractor unit to detect objects and provide an in cab sounder to alert the driver

0-774-55

A low speed / indicator trigger module may be required to collect indicator signal from the truck and convert to steady 24v output may be required as an additional component

Camera Cable: type, length and connection

Screened cables help to shield and reduce interference which may disrupt picture quality.

Camera cables are available in a variety of lengths to suit vehicles ranging from a small car to a 60ft HGV and Drawbar trailer combination. Cables should be specified to as short as suitable for application to reduce signal losses

Camera cables often use either 4 pin aviation connector , RCA connector, or old type video-S connector.

HGV Susie cable camera leads for connecting articulated lorry tractive unit monitor system to semitrailer or drawbar trailer camera system available

Hard Wired v Wireless Camera Systems

Hard wired camera systems are more time consuming to install but do not suffer from interference

Wireless Camera Systems are quicker and easier to install. Analogue wireless cameras may suffer from interference and signal loss over long range therefore Digital Wireless Camera Systems are recommended.

Either type requires a power supply to camera and monitor

Aftermarket Replacement Camera Systems

Aftermarket replacement camera systems may be retrofitted in addition to the original manufacturers system which may have failed but is too costly to repair for example on municipal vehicles and excavators

Safety Reversing Camera Monitor systems for 12 volt or 24 volt vehicle applications

• Multiple camera and audio inputs
• Date / timestamped images
• Google map geo location and gsm speed monitoring
• Motion Detection
• Password protected hard disk storage

Health and Safety Risk Assessment

Risk assessment   requires enhanced vehicle, operator and public safety by increasing visibility around the working area.
High visibility is particularly important for emergency ,utility, municipal & construction service personnel whom may be working at the roadside and at particular risk from fast moving road traffic.

Driver or operator vision can be improved when reversing or turning by fitment of  a vehicle monitor and cctv camera system which may be ignition switched to activate when the engine is running or switched by a reverse gear selection or camera switch. A monitoring system can also prove useful during loading / unloading and processing operation for example on Waste collection, tipping, combining, baling etc. where  material flow needs to be monitored.

Environment

Environment where cctv is to be fitted should be considered particularly in Agricultural, Construction, and Industrial applications.

Vehicle operating environments can often include:

Vibration

Dust

Temperature

Moisture and Water

Chemicals such as liquids, gases, fuel, oils, grease.

Interference from spurious electrical signals

IP Rating

The IP rating of the camera kit is a two digit code referring to Ingress Protection against dirt dust and moisture. First digit of IP code refers to ingress protection against solids eg Dust. Second digit of IP code refers to Ingress protection against moisture. Higher the rating generally provides best protection.

Hackney carriage and Private hire vehicle fleets

CCTV in taxis and private hire vehicles can be used to help prevent crime and enhence driver and passenger safety. Useful guidelines are published in the Transport for London document guidelines for cctv in taxis and private hire vehicles (download link pdf). Prior approval is usually required from local licensing authority before installing cctv recording systems in hackney carriage and private hire vehicles. System approval may also be required together with appropriate data protection licensing.
