360 Degree Camera System Provides Birdseye View
Brigade Electronics says its Backeye 360, a four-camera setup that provides an “overhead view” around a vehicle or equipment is better than other camera systems out there for big equipment. Jeff Schweitzer at Brigade notes that, initially, some operators thought the Backeye 360 was distracting. But after getting used to it, they’ve reported it provides amazing protection for equipment and people who might be around it.
The system has ultra-wide-angle cameras that mount on the front, sides and rear of a vehicle or equipment. Simultaneous images from the cameras are ‘video-stitched’ into a 360-degree bird’s eye view within a single image. The device is ideal for low-speed maneuvering into and around tight spaces because the operator can see all sides of his vehicle or implement at once.
Brigade also produces a heavy-duty radar sensor, originally intended for the construction and mining industries, which is also applicable to farm equipment. The sensor can mate with the camera/monitor system so operators can get alerts and see them on the screen.
Schweitzer says the alarm volume raises and lowers depending on the ambient sound around it, which makes it ideal for use near residential or commercial areas that get noise complaints from heavy machinery.
The company’s mobile digital recorders connect to cameras and record footage. Files can be stored on a SIM card or uploaded through 4G or dedicated Wi-Fi.
“With a wide range of cameras, monitors, warning alarms and obstacle detection devices, we have products that can fit anybody’s needs for any type of machine they’re running,” Schweitzer says.
