Fitting the cameras

Three wires, a clear windscreen, a card and two minutes of calibration. The parts that go wrong are the ignition line, the mounting angle and the commissioning nobody did — so this page is about those.

01 — Who does this

If you run the fleet

We do not fit cameras and we do not sell to fleets. We are the distributor behind the integrators who do both — we import the hardware, run the platform they put their name on, and keep replacement units on the shelf. Tell us the vehicles, the country and what you need the video for, and the enquiry goes to the integrator covering your region. They quote the fitting, they hold the contract, and we stay out of it.

Van, two-channel AI dash cam

€90–170

45–90 minutes

Truck or bus, four to eight channels

€450–750

Most of a day

Trade planning figures at €60–120 an hour of auto-electrical labour, not quotes from us — the integrator doing the work prices it. A yard of vehicles booked into one week costs less per vehicle than one van on its own, and a vehicle that has to come off the road for it costs more than both.

If you do the fitting

Buy the hardware at integrator prices, get the platform with it under your own brand, and take the fleets that come to us from search in your region.

02 — The fitting, in order

Seven steps, and the last one decides it

Same order on a van with one channel and on a bus with eight. The last step is the one that decides whether the fleet ever uses the system.

  1. 01

    Power and ignition

    Every camera in the range runs 9–36 V, and DR03 and EH80 take 9–90 V, so a 24 V truck needs no converter. Three wires: permanent, ignition sense and ground. The ignition line is what lets the camera sleep instead of flattening the battery, and it is the one people skip.

  2. 02

    Mounting the road camera

    Behind the mirror, on the wiper-swept area of the glass, lens level with the horizon. ADAS accuracy depends on this more than on the algorithm: a camera mounted high and angled down will call lane departures all day.

  3. 03

    The cabin camera

    Driver-facing on models that carry DMS, or the external DMS camera on those that do not. A 140° cabin lens covers a three-seat cab; a 60° DMS camera has to look at the driver's face and nothing else.

  4. 04

    External channels

    Trailer, tipper body, cargo doors, blind spot. Aviation connectors, 4-pin for the waterproof square camera and 5-pin for the DMS one, so a mis-plug is physically impossible. Route with the loom and leave a service loop at the hinge.

  5. 05

    Card and SIM

    One card of 32–512 GB per slot, class 10 or better, formatted in the camera and never in a laptop. The card is the fleet's cheapest storage — everything not uploaded lives there and is pulled on request, so a bigger card is a bigger window on a bad day.

  6. 06

    ADAS calibration

    The V2 platform self-calibrates in about two minutes of driving; measure and enter the mounting height and bonnet offset first. Do it on the handover drive, not in the yard.

  7. 07

    Commissioning on the platform

    Register the ident, point the camera at the server, confirm the first position, force one event and watch the clip arrive. A vehicle is not fitted until a frame from it has been seen on the screen.

03 — On the day

What the platform needs on the day

The five things that turn a fitted camera into a vehicle on somebody's screen. Miss the last one and the fault comes back as a support ticket a week later, when the van is three hundred kilometres away.

Where these cameras already run →
  • The device ident, which is the number on the label and in the first message — not the SIM number
  • Host and port for the gateway, set once per fleet and pushed to the rest with a config job
  • APN for the SIM, and a data plan measured in tens of megabytes a month, not gigabytes
  • A recording policy: what the camera uploads by itself and what waits to be asked for
  • A camera-health check on the fleet screen before the van leaves: online, card present, lens clear

Ready to book the vans in?

Send the fleet, the country and the vehicle types. The integrator covering your region quotes the fitting and holds the contract; we ship them the cameras configured and ready to commission.

04 — Before booking

What people ask before booking a fitting

Do you fit cameras yourselves?

No. We are the distributor: we import the hardware, run the platform and support the people who fit it. A fleet that comes to us is passed to the integrator covering its region, with no fee and no strings — it is their customer, not ours.

How long does one vehicle take, and what does it cost?

Budget 45–90 minutes and €90–170 for a two-channel dash cam in a van, and the better part of a day and €450–750 for a four or eight channel MDVR with external cameras on a truck and trailer. Those are trade planning figures at €60–120 an hour of auto-electrical labour, not quotes from us — the integrator doing the work prices it, a yard booked into one week costs less per vehicle, and a vehicle taken off the road for it costs more than both.

Does it have to be hardwired?

For a fleet, yes. A cigarette-lighter camera is unplugged by the driver on the day you need it, sees nothing while the vehicle is parked and cannot sleep on an ignition line. Every model here is a three-wire fitting.

Will it work on a 24 V truck?

Yes. The range is 9–36 V, and DR03 and EH80 go to 90 V, so trucks, buses and most plant need no converter.

How much mobile data will the fleet pay for?

By design, tens of megabytes a month per vehicle: telemetry, the events and one frame each. Video goes up only when someone asks for a clip. That is cents of cellular a month, not the gigabytes a camera that streams everything would spend.

What do we have to do about the driver-facing camera?

Before the fitter books the vehicles, not after: a lawful basis on paper, a DPIA, written notice to the drivers, and a works council agreement where there is a works council. That last one takes weeks and is the longest lead time on the whole project. It has its own page.

What happens when a camera fails in the field?

Warranty is a year from shipment, repair or replacement at the factory. What we add is the stock buffer: you get a replacement unit from us while yours is in the queue, instead of explaining a factory turnaround to your customer.

Price list and two demo cameras

Put one in a vehicle before you decide.

Tell us the platform you run, the vehicles you fit and roughly how many cameras a year. You get the current price list, the certificate list for the models you care about, and two demo cameras configured for your platform before they ship — at your own trade price, credited against your first order.
