Brigade Electronics safety systems at Truckstop Group
Brigade Electronics is a leading supplier of safety camera and warning systems for commercial vehicles, with products specified by fleet operators, local authorities and construction operators across the UK. Their Backeye camera systems provide drivers with real-time visibility around the vehicle from positions that would otherwise be blind spots, reducing the risk of accidents during manoeuvring and reversing. Brigade systems are used on everything from urban delivery vans to articulated HGVs and large plant equipment.
The Brigade range includes reversing cameras, side detection cameras, in-cab monitors, digital video recorders and audible warning systems. Backeye 360 provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle surroundings using multiple cameras. Camera resolution, cable length, IP rating and monitor size are the key selection criteria for a commercial vehicle installation. Brigade cameras and monitors are 24V compatible and designed for the electrical environment of a commercial vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
What Brigade camera systems are available for HGV trucks?
Brigade offers reversing camera kits with a single rear camera and in-cab monitor, multi-camera systems for full surround visibility including the Backeye 360, side cameras for nearside blind spot coverage, and integrated DVR systems that record footage from all cameras. Systems are available in analogue and digital configurations.
Are Brigade camera systems required by law on UK trucks?
Brigade camera systems are not universally mandated by UK law, but some operators must fit them under specific schemes. The HGV Safety Permit scheme in London requires evidence of enhanced safety measures including camera systems for HGVs operating in Greater London. Construction and utility operators increasingly specify Brigade or equivalent systems as a site requirement. Fleet operators also fit them for insurance and liability management purposes.
What IP rating do Brigade cameras have?
Brigade cameras are rated to IP68 or IP69K depending on the model, making them suitable for the harsh environment of a commercial vehicle exterior including high-pressure washing. Confirm the IP rating for your specific model against your installation requirements, particularly where cameras are mounted in positions exposed to direct wheel spray or washing equipment.
