• A reversing camera system that records images to an onboard hard disk is being introduced to the CV sector by Digital Transport Solutions.
DiglEye. which is already in use on PSVs, shows the driver a rear view when reversing via a digital camera and in-cab display, and automatically records every event onto a 2.5in hard disk. Eight additional cameras can be fitted around the vehicle for extra coverage.
Maximum disk capacity is 60Gb: DTS technical and installations manager John Zawada says, if working 12 hours a clay this is enough to store 31days' activities.
A plug-in hand module is available with a built-in display to review stored images; or the disk can simply be removed and connected to any Windows-based desktop PC for transfer to another computer or storage medium.
Zawada says the hard drives won't be affected in the way a standard video recorder would by condensation or wear and tear: the system will automatically overwrite the oldest stored images. He adds that this data will be admissible in court.
A number of options are available, but a mid-range system with 30GB hard disk, digital reversing camera and 4in TFT monitor costs £1,625 (ex-VAT).
