Freight drivers under UK law must protect their vehicles from unwanted intrusion. Hence icomply’s fr8Watch product, which the developers say brings realtime video verification and monitored intruder detection.
It is drivers’ responsibility to ensure their vehicles’ seals have not been broken and that migrants haven’t entered their vehicles. icomply says that its new intrusion detection solution takes away doubt by providing real time, monitored security.
Hugh Baker, Managing Director at icomply says: “fr8Watch is the only always on, real time, monitored intrusion detection solution for the freight industry. Recognising that there is no one size fits all solution for this sector, we have developed an affordable, customisable solution combining latest generation low light, infra red camera and video analytics to detect and report vehicle intrusion as it happens.
“It works by fitting low light capable, hi definition CCTV cameras discretely within trailers to monitor vehicles’ interiors and perimeters, and a discretely located ruggedised “black box” of technology, complete with lockable hot swap HDD for evidential purposes. When the virtual trip wires are breached – alarms are triggered to the security team and video is simultaneously recorded on board and streamed to a secure web portal. icomply are also offering a 24/7 monitoring service.
“The fr8Watch technology is able to automatically determine the bandwidth it has available for streaming live images and adjusts the quality of picture automatically. Authorised users (drivers and freight companies’ security services, for example) can access our web portal by phone, tablet, laptop or desktop once they have received the alarm warning. No special software or app. is required – just checkout the portal using your favourite browser.”
The makers add that the product is designed with the requirements of each customer in mind. Each can incorporate subtle operation variations – in for example cameras used and backup battery life. The package is in a ruggedised vehicle specific chassis with no moving parts using solid state technology. Visit http://www.i-comply.co.uk/2016/04/18/fr8watch-freight-wagon-cctv/.
