The Christchurch-based company’s 360-degree Blind Spot System provides all-round visibility with a built-in event recorder.

Viewtech managing director Darren Jenkinson says the system helps to mitigate health and safety risks and improve operations across all moving plant.

“The system allows vehicles up to 12 metres long to have a complete 360-degree field of view around their vehicle – almost like having a bird’s-eye view at all times.

“Four cameras are installed around the vehicle which get combined into one image on a monitor.
This allows vehicles with terrible blind spots to completely mitigate them.

“Triggers allow both reversing and indicators to be connected and when triggered will show full-screen the camera facing in that direction.

“What makes our system different from other systems on the market is that it uses full HD cameras and a HDMI monitor to produce the images.
This creates excellent quality and detail.
Our system also comes with the option for a 7-inch or 10-inch monitor,” Jenkinson says.

As well as live view the system can take up to 4 x 128GB memory cards and can be used as a full drive and event recorder.

“This is perfect for managing incidents and reviewing events,” Jenkinson says.

Viewtech, a New Zealand-owned company, was established in 2006 and specialises in system design and supply of CCTV-related equipment for a wide range of applications including the transport industry.

The company also recently launched its Fleetview mulit-channel digital video recording device designed for commercial vehicles and moving equipment.
