Camera Monitor Systems

The size of commercial vehicles and machines mean vehicle Camera Monitor System blind spots are a major factor in collisions across all industries. Operator positions, bodywork, absent rear windows and bulkheads create further restrictions and can greatly limit driver visibility, making collisions even more likely. The significant financial cost of vehicle and property damage is magnified by associated costs such as downtime, but even greater are the corporate and emotional costs when there is personal injury.

These systems provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring traffic, reducing accidents and improving road safety, making these cities safer and more efficient places to live and work.

Camera Monitor System Benefits

Vehicle camera systems represent a significant improvement over traditional mirrors used to monitor blind spots. While mirrors can create additional blind spots and lead to ‘information overload’ for drivers unsure of where to focus, damaged or broken mirrors can exacerbate visibility issues. Tektron monitors address these challenges by allowing multiple camera feeds to be displayed on a single screen, with specific views activated by actions such as engaging reverse gear

Cameras offer a wider field of vision compared to mirrors and are less prone to damage. Additionally, built-in LEDs enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Camera monitor systems are utilized in various on- and off-road applications to meet numerous health and safety standards and legislative requirements. They effectively eliminate blind spots, helping to prevent costly vehicle damage and, more importantly, saving lives.

Cameras

Rear view camera

A massive 90% of reversing accidents occur OFF road (loading bays, lorry parks, quarry sites, warehouses etc.
One quarter of all workplace deaths are caused by reversing vehicles.
Reversing of commercial vehicles accounts for one claim in every six.

Reversing camera benefits

Prevents costly reversing collisions with people, property or vehicles
Reduces vehicle damage to the rear
Assists safe and easier manoeuvring

Side view camera

The nearside blind spot is accountable for many collisions. Most cyclist fatalities happen at low speeds, typically at road junctions and when pulling off from a stationary position.
Sideswipe collisions on motorways are another common result of poor visibility. This problem is especially acute when the driver position is on the wrong side in left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive traffic.

Side view camera benefits;

Removes the nearside blind spot
Meets Class VI & V blind-spot requirements
Reduces risk of sideswipe collisions and when turning

Front view camera

Front view camera benefits;

- - - Meets front view blind spot requirements
    - Reduced front vehicle damage

Monitors

In-cab monitors are a vital part of the safety process, giving the driver essential information about the vehicle’s surroundings.

Whether you need an entry-level reversing camera system or full mobile CCTV, we can help. With single-to-multiple camera inputs and auto-triggers, Tektron monitors will work on any application in any industry, regardless of the amount of camera views connected.

Tektron range of monitors include models with the following features:

- - - - 5”/7”/10.4” screens
      - 6.5” Double-DIN in-dash model
      - In-built image viewing options, including single/split/triple/quad and picture-in-picture
      - Waterproof
      - Audio
      - On-screen distance markers
      - Anti-tamper buttons
      - R46 approved
      - Certified to ISO 13766:2006
      - Auto switching PAL/NTSC
      - Compatible with Tektron MDR

Adapter Cables

A large range of extension and adapter cables is available to suit every camera monitor system application. Whether you want to add additional cameras, reach the full length of your vehicle or have a tractor trailer combination, Tektron has a solution for you.

Tektron range of OEM adapter cables allow for easy retro fit of cameras to existing in cab monitors for makes such as DAF, Volvo, Scania, MAN, Fendt, Iveco to name a few.

Wireless System

The system also features an easy re-pairing function, allowing the receiver to be linked to a different transmitter making interchanging trailers possible.

Connecting a rear view camera system to a large vehicle or machine can be timely and awkward due to the amount of cable to install. Tektron new wireless system eliminates excess cabling, saving up to two hours’ fitment time and removes the need for an additional suzie cable.

New digital wireless technology gives almost instant pictures (camera to monitor in less than 200 milliseconds) and is not affected by electrical interference from other vehicle or machine equipment. The camera image is sent to the monitor via a transmitter and receiver, and once connected, the wireless link is secure.

The Benefits

- Eliminates the need for additional suzie cables
- Vastly reduces installation time
- Allows for interchangeable trailers
