Upgrade Existing Heavy equipment cameras with AI-Powered Detection
Upgrade Existing Heavy equipment cameras with AI-Powered Detection.
For those companies that have excavators or pipe layers with dual cameras installed on them, this is an amazing safety upgrade.
Fleet safety technology is advancing quickly, but upgrading an entire camera and monitor system can be expensive and disruptive. The Brigade AI Box provides a simpler way to add artificial intelligence to compatible existing camera systems without replacing the cameras or in-cab monitor.
The AI Box analyzes live camera footage and identifies vulnerable road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. When a person enters a configured detection area, the system provides immediate visual and audible warnings to the driver.
Smarter Safety Without Replacing Your Equipment
The AI Box works with compatible analogue AHD and CVBS camera systems. This allows fleet operators to improve safety while continuing to use much of their current Brigade equipment.
Key benefits include:
- Real-time pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Visual and audible driver alerts
- Compatibility with existing cameras and monitors
- Customizable detection zones
- Quick plug-and-play installation
- Reduced vehicle downtime
- Lower installation and equipment costs
The system also combines AI detection with infrared camera technology, helping improve the detection of people in difficult lighting conditions.
Designed for Active Fleets
Taking a commercial vehicle out of service can be costly. Traditional upgrades may require replacing cameras, monitors, wiring, and other equipment.
The AI Box connects to compatible existing systems using Brigade VBV cabling. This helps reduce workshop time and allows vehicles to return to service sooner.
It is particularly useful for:
- Construction equipment
- Waste and recycling vehicles
- Municipal fleets
- Delivery vehicles
- Material-handling equipment
- Mixed fleets with both older and newer vehicles
Fleet operators can modernize existing safety systems without completing a full vehicle technology replacement.…
A Flexible AI Camera Upgrade for Commercial Fleets
Every commercial vehicle operates differently. A detection area that works for a delivery truck may not be suitable for an excavator, loader, waste vehicle, or other pieces of heavy equipment.
The Brigade AI Box allows detection zones to be adjusted for the vehicle and its operating environment.
Configurable Detection Zones
Using the available USB adaptor and mobile application, installers or fleet managers can create customized detection zones.
These zones can be adjusted based on:
- Vehicle size
- Camera position
- Common blind spots
- Worksite conditions
- Driver visibility
- Operating requirements
The system also includes default settings for quicker installation on standard applications.
Additional Safety Features
The AI Box offers more than pedestrian and cyclist detection. Depending on the system configuration, additional capabilities include:
- Alerts when a camera view is blocked
- Face blurring to support privacy
- Connections for internal or external warning devices
- Compatibility with Brigade MDR recording systems
- Adapter options for selected Brigade Electronics Backeye 200 and 300 systems
- Support for two analogue cameras
Product Specifications
The AI Box operates on 20V to 32V DC power and measures approximately 174 × 170 × 72 millimetres. It includes a three-year warranty.
The standard system includes:
- AI Box control unit
- Power harness
- Video harness
- Alarm input and output cable harness
Improve Fleet Safety Without Starting Over
The Brigade AI Box offers a practical option for fleets that want the benefits of AI-powered detection while protecting their existing camera investment.
With configurable detection zones, fast installation, driver alerts, and compatibility with existing analogue systems, it provides a cost-effective way to improve awareness around commercial vehicles and heavy equipment.
JB’s Fleet & Commercial Upfitting can help evaluate existing camera equipment, recommend the correct system configuration, and professionally install the AI Box for your fleet.
