Camera and Video Telematics specialist Centrad, which has been a long-standing exhibitor at the Tow Show, is back once again this year to showcase its revolutionary AI-powered camera technology.
With recovery operators increasingly looking to improve safety, reduce insurance costs, and safeguard their drivers, Centrad’s innovative solutions are proving to be a game-changer for the sector.
Centrad’s camera systems can not only provide clear evidence in the case of incidents, while delivering a noticeable reduction in disputed claims, but can also assist recovery firms in their training and driver development programmes.
The AI-powered forward-facing camera system is designed to recognise potential hazards, issuing audible warnings to drivers when there’s a risk of collision or if they stray from their lane without signalling.
This advanced dual camera, which is windscreen-mounted, also offers real-time alerts for risky driving behaviours such as mobile phone use, fatigue, and smoking, helping drivers stay vigilant on the road.
The immediate feedback provided by the alerts allows drivers to take prompt corrective action, significantly reducing the likelihood of incidents.
One of the standout features of this system is its ability to send these real-time alerts and video footage of events directly to a remote dashboard, making it an invaluable tool for fleet managers to monitor and coach drivers proactively.
The dash camera range is able to integrate effortlessly with Centrad’s Video Telematics platform, providing comprehensive support for multiple cameras on each vehicle with 360-degree camera coverage and Centrad’s blind spot detection solutions.
Camera systems have become increasingly popular among the recovery sector as operators recognise the dual benefits of safeguarding staff and protecting business reputations.
Centrad’s recent work with leading recovery specialist E&S Motors is a testament to this, with the company fitting its entire fleet with a combination of forward-facing, side, rear, and under-flyer cameras last year.
This setup has helped E&S to not only improve driver accountability by promoting best practice, but also enable them to strengthen roadside safety procedures, and eliminate phantom claims that had previously cost the business time and money.
Visitors to the Tow Show will be able to experience the technology first-hand and learn how Centrad’s AI-driven solutions can deliver measurable improvements in safety, compliance, and cost efficiency across recovery fleets.
