Brigade offers human recognition technology on existing camera systems

Vehicle safety specialist Brigade Electronics is offering a “free, no-obligation” fleet review to help equipment owners understand how they can upgrade a machine’s existing camera systems to incorporate AI-powered Human Form Recognition (HFR) detection technology.

Brigade said it will provide owners with a specified, costed upgrade plan based on their equipment’s existing camera equipment.

The UK-based company said its AI Box is an inline retrofit solution that adds HFR capability to compatible existing analogue camera systems. It connects to cameras, monitors and wiring already installed on the vehicle.

Brigade said more than 2,400 vehicles have already been upgraded using the technology. HFR technology is designed to distinguish pedestrians from surrounding objects and movement.

No need to discard existing cameras

Jordan Marshall, Brigade’s UK marketing manager, said; “Many operators recognise the benefits that AI and Human Form Recognition detection tech can bring to fleet safety, but understandably don’t want to discard perfectly serviceable cameras, monitors and wiring simply to access the latest technology or meet a new legislation.

“The purpose of our fleet review is to look at what an operator already has and identify whether there is a practical, cost-effective route to upgrading it.

“There is no obligation to buy anything. We will review the fleet specification and existing camera format and come back with a costed upgrade plan, so the operator can make an informed decision based on what their fleet actually needs.”

The approach offered by Brigade enables operators to upgrade fleets gradually, rather than committing to wholesale replacement of camera infrastructure in one programme.

The technology is suitable for a wide range of vehicles and operating environments, including HGVs, tippers, cement mixers, waste collection vehicles, emergency vehicles, buses, coaches, forklifts, agricultural vehicles and much more.
