Our Solutions
Ultrasonic Obstacle Detection
Radar Obstacle Detection
bbs-tek® White Sound®
Our patented reversing alarms are designed to be heard, not just seen, making them ideal for on road and construction vehicles.
Brigade Warning Alarms are the safest in the world due to their instant locatability and directional sound. The alarm is only heard in the danger zone, thus eliminating noise nuisance.
Backeye® 360
Our award-winning camera system provides drivers with a 360-degree view of their vehicle, eliminating blind spots and improving safety.
360° vehicle camera systems are intelligent camera monitor products designed to assist low-speed manoeuvrability by providing the driver with a real-time surround view of the vehicle in a single image.
Mobile Digital Recording (DVR)
Our mobile digital recorder captures high-quality footage of any incidents, providing valuable evidence in the event of an accident.
Incidents involving vehicles can be time-consuming and costly to resolve. A lack of solid evidence often means that companies will automatically accept liability. However, these easy settlements have led to an increase in cases against operators who are considered soft targets.
Ultrasonic Obstacle Detection
Our ultrasonic detection systems provide reliable and accurate detection of obstacles and other vehicles, helping to prevent accidents and reduce costly downtime.
Accidents and collisions can be a major source of expense and lost productivity for businesses. Without effective detection systems, operators are at risk of missing potential hazards and causing damage to their vehicles or property. Our ultrasonic detection systems provide a reliable solution, ensuring that operators have the information they need to make informed decisions and avoid costly accidents.
Radar Obstacle Detection
Backsense® heavy-duty radar sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in blind spots, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings – alerting the operator whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas. Backsense® obstacle detection sensors work effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog.

Why Reversing and White Sound Alarms?
The rear blind spot is a huge problem regardless of the vehicle or machine – reversing vehicles account for a quarter of all workplace deaths. With 90% of these reversing accidents occurring off-road (loading bays, lorry parks, quarry sites, warehouses etc.) there has never been a greater necessity to carry out effective risk-assessments of reversing processes.
A reversing alarm is a device to warn anyone in a vehicle’s path that it is moving backwards. Beeping reversing alarms were introduced to Europe in the 1970s and provided a vital step forward in safety.
Brigade Electronics – at the forefront of reversing alarm technology since introducing the first reversing and warning alarm models addressed the problems of effectiveness of alarms in urban and work environments.

Why Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors?
Reducing blind spots and improving driver visibility are important issues for operators of road-going vehicles. Over the past few years, safety devices such as additional mirrors or camera systems that give wider viewing angles have become commonplace, and even mandatory under blind spot legislation. However, despite an increase in visibility, collisions with other vehicles, fixed objects, cyclists, workers and even pedestrians, remain high.
Obstacle detection using ultrasonic sensors can minimise both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. Perfect for road-going commercial vehicles operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speed, the detection system alerts the driver of obstacles close to the vehicle, whether moving or stationary. An audible and/or visual in-cab warning informs of distance, whilst an optional external speaking alarm can be added to alert cyclists and pedestrians that the vehicle is turning.
Backscan®
4 sensor system fitted to the rear of the vehicle as an invaluable aid to safe reversing.
Sidescan®
4 sensor system fitted to side of vehicle. Particularly relevant for the near side blind spot, where cyclists or pedestrians can otherwise go undetected.
Frontscan®
4 sensor system fitted to the front of the vehicle. Particularly relevant for front blind spot on high cabs where low objects of pedestrians can be hidden.
Cornerscan™
3 sensor system fitted to the near side corner of the vehicle cab to detect objects in the front near side blind spot.
Stepscan™
2 sensor system fitted to nearside cab step. Minimises the risk of damage to the vehicle when turning whilst reversing.
Why Backsense® Radar Obstacle Detection for Commercial Vehicles and Machines?
Blind spots tend to be much larger on these vehicles and include not only the rear and nearside but also the front, especially with elevated driver positions. Terrains are harsh, vehicles are exposed to the elements more aggressively whilst thick dust and darkness decrease visibility further.
The ISO 5006 standard for earthmoving equipment addresses the problem of blind spots around a vehicle. It states that in order to enable proper, effective and safe operation the operator must be able to ‘detect the presence of a standing person (of approximately. 1.5m tall), 1m out from the perimeter of the machine.’ Camera monitor systems provide this to some extent, but in difficult conditions a range of complementary devices are vital to give visual and audible operator warnings.
