Detect people near your vehicles without replacing a single camera

Installation is significantly faster than replacing an entire camera system because existing wiring and equipment can remain in place.

The system detects human forms and vulnerable road users within configured detection zones.

The technology is designed to work alongside infrared camera technology for improved low-light visibility.

Human Form Recognition (HFR) is an AI-powered detection technology designed to identify pedestrians and cyclists near a vehicle in real time. Unlike traditional motion detection systems, which simply react to any movement within a camera’s field of view, HFR analyses the visual characteristics of objects to determine whether they match the shape and movement patterns of a person.

This distinction is important in busy operating environments such as construction sites, urban delivery routes, waste collection and municipal fleets, where standard motion detection can generate excessive false alerts from moving branches, rain, shadows, animals or passing traffic.

The Brigade AI Box uses advanced video analytics to:

• Detect vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists
• Differentiate people from background movement
• Reduce unnecessary driver alerts
• Improve driver awareness in high-risk blind spot areas
• Support safer manoeuvring and low-speed operations

The AI Box provides active pedestrian detection functionality that may complement existing safety equipment such as cameras, monitors, audible alerts, sensors and warning signage.

An inline AI Box is designed to add AI-powered pedestrian detection to an existing camera setup without requiring a complete replacement of the vehicle’s camera infrastructure.

Traditional AI camera systems typically combine the camera and AI processing into a single unit. In many cases, this means replacing existing analogue cameras, monitors, wiring looms and associated hardware.

The Brigade AI Box works differently:

• It connects between the existing camera and monitor system
• AI processing is handled by the external control box rather than inside the camera
• Existing compatible analogue cameras can often remain in place
• Fleets can upgrade vehicles incrementally rather than replacing complete systems

Yes. One of the key advantages of the Brigade AI Box is its ability to integrate with many existing analogue camera installations using current wiring looms.

Because the AI Box is designed as an inline retrofit solution, it can often be installed without removing or replacing the original cabling infrastructure already fitted to the vehicle.

Yes. The Brigade AI Box supports both PAL and NTSC analogue video formats, allowing integration with a wide range of existing vehicle camera systems.

This compatibility is particularly useful for mixed fleets or vehicles sourced from different manufacturers and regions.

The Brigade AI Box is designed to support operators working towards safer fleet operation and can contribute to broader vehicle safety strategies associated with schemes such as:

• Direct Vision Standard (DVS)
• Progressive Safe System requirements
• FORS accreditation
• Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) guidance
