Upgrade Existing Vehicle Cameras with AI
AI Box
Transform Existing Vehicle Cameras with AI Detection
The Brigade AI Box is a simple way to upgrade existing vehicle cameras with AI-powered human detection.
Designed for compatible analog camera systems, the AI Box adds Human Form Recognition (HFR) technology to existing cameras and monitors. There is no need to replace cameras, monitors or vehicle cabling.
Installed in-line with the current system, the AI Box detects people within configurable detection zones and provides visual and audible alerts to support driver awareness during manuevering and low-speed operations.
Compatible with up to two analog cameras (AHD, CVBS, NTSC and PAL).
Add AI Detection Without Replacing Your Camera System
Many fleets want the benefits of AI-powered detection but are concerned about the cost and downtime associated with replacing existing camera systems.
The AI Box provides a cost-effective upgrade path. By connecting directly to compatible analog cameras, it adds Human Form Recognition technology to the existing installation.
The system continuously analyzes camera images and identifies people within defined detection zones. When a person is recognized, the driver receives an immediate visual and audible alert.
This allows fleets to move towards AI-assisted vehicle safety while protecting previous investments in camera equipment.
Reduce Downtime and Installation Costs
Vehicle downtime affects productivity and operational efficiency. Unlike a full camera system replacement, the AI Box is designed for rapid installation using existing camera infrastructure.
Install AI detection without lengthy vehicle workshop visits or major system modifications.
Reuse existing compatible cameras, monitors and cabling to reduce overall installation time and labor requirements.
*Installation time and costs may vary depending on vehicle type, existing equipment and installation requirements.
Why Upgrade Existing Vehicle Cameras with AI?
Replacing an entire camera system can be costly and time-consuming. The AI Box provides a practical alternative by adding artificial intelligence to compatible existing camera systems.
Gain the benefits of Human Form Recognition technology while reducing installation costs, minimizing downtime and extending the life of existing equipment.
