The Ultimate Incident Prevention Kit

Brigade’s MDR AI Cameras are a driver alert system designed to address one of the most critical challenges in road safety: driver error. With 41% of HGV collisions attributed to driver inattention, distraction or fatigue, these advanced cameras offer a proactive solution to minimise risk and enhance fleet safety.

Compatible with Brigade’s MDR 600 Series and AI Connected Dashcams, the AI-powered Forward-Facing and Driver-Facing are designed to prevent incidents by providing alerts against potential driver error scenarios. In case of an incident, the MDR or Dashcam will immediately generate an alert and send this to an in-cab monitor via the A/V out connector.

Alternatively, as an optional accessory, there is Brigade’s Hazard Warning Unit. The hazard warning unit will provide the driver with an immediate visual display and audible alert if one of the alarms is triggered.

Both the forward-facing and driver-facing cameras are fully integrated with Brigades Video Telematics, allowing Fleet Managers to access alerts and video clips instantly.

Why Choose Brigade’s Driver Facing Camera?

Unseen Fatigue, Spotted Instantly

Brigade’s Driver Facing Camera is not a monitoring tool – it’s a drivers ally.

Designed to ensure driver safety and comfort on the road, and extensively tested for real-world accuracy, Brigade’s Driver Facing Camera minimises unnecessary alerts whilst delivering actionable insights for drivers and fleet management.

Level 1

Threshold at which the driver receives an audible voice alert, offering guidance based on the algorithm’s analysis of images from the Driver-Facing Camera.

Level 2

Typically set at a higher value than Level 1, this threshold triggers a high-pitched beep instead of a voice alert to immediately capture the driver’s attention.

All alerts are fully customisable

Vehicle DVR
