ViewtechAi™ is an advanced, AI-powered vehicle safety system engineered to prevent vehicle-to-human accidents around heavy machinery. Using smart computer vision, it scans the surroundings of mobile equipment, such as forklifts, loaders, rollers, and cranes, and automatically detects nearby pedestrians and vehicles, instantly alerting both operators and workers in high-risk zones.

No. ViewtechAi™ relies entirely on advanced vision-based AI, trained to recognise human shapes and postures without requiring external hardware or specialised clothing.

Key detection highlights include:

• Zero Tag Requirement: Detects people instantly without RFID tags, transponders, or wearable sensors.
• High-Accuracy AI: Achieves up to 99% detection accuracy, even when pedestrians are partially obscured or wearing casual clothing.
• Universal Protection: Automatically safeguards all individuals on site, including employees, contractors, site visitors, and the general public.

ViewtechAi™ features ultra-fast AI processing capable of identifying a pedestrian in as little as 0.25 seconds. This split-second detection ensures immediate, real-time visual and audible warnings to give operators crucial extra reaction time.

ViewtechAi™ cameras come in wide-angle models ranging from 140° to 170° Field of View (FOV) with detection capabilities up to 25 meters away.

You can install a single camera to eliminate a specific blind spot, or link multiple cameras together on a single system to achieve full 360° surround coverage around your machine.

Yes. While the standard camera configuration includes a single zone output cable, adding the VTAIMO2 cable expands system capabilities to support up to three independently configurable detection zones.

This enables multi-tier alerts based on an object’s distance from the vehicle.

Yes. ViewtechAi™ cameras output a configurable HIGH or LOW signal whenever a pedestrian is detected in a active zone.

This signal can be wired directly into PLCs, vehicle control units, or relays to automatically slow/stop equipment, sound external alarms, or trigger dashboard light stacks.

When a pedestrian is detected, the connected monitor provides multi-sensory alerts:

• Visual Tracking: Outlines pedestrians with clear on-screen bounding boxes.
• Screen Edge Flash: Triggers a configurable flashing border along the edges of the display to capture peripheral focus.
• Audio Output: Injects a clear audible alarm into the video stream played over the monitor speakers.

Unlike traditional radar or proximity systems that constantly beep at static obstacles (like pallets, walls, or poles), ViewtechAi™ only triggers alerts when a real human or vehicle is in the detection zone, drastically reducing alarm fatigue and operator distraction.

By default, yes. ViewtechAi™ cameras continuously monitor active zones whenever the vehicle is powered.

However, detection behavior is fully customisable to suit your operational needs:

• Selective Triggering: Adding the VTAIMO2 cable provides an Alarm IN signal input, enabling AI detection to activate only during specific vehicle actions (e.g., engaging reverse gear or activating turn signals).
• Reduced Alarm Fatigue: Selective activation ensures operators receive alerts exclusively during high-risk maneuvers, preventing unnecessary warnings during routine driving.

ViewtechAi™ is built tough for harsh commercial and industrial environments and can be fitted to virtually any mobile asset, heavy machinery, or static site location:

• Material Handling: Forklifts, telehandlers, container handlers, and reach stackers.
• Earthmoving & Construction: Excavators, rollers, graders, loaders, and haul trucks.
• Commercial Transport: Fleet trucks, buses, coaches, and delivery vehicles.
• Port, Marine & Forestry: Boats, cranes, port vehicles, logging trucks, and log grapples.
• Facility & Static Applications: High-speed industrial roller doors and site entry points.

Yes. ViewtechAi™ seamlessly integrates with Fleetview™, our live streaming and recording platform. Positive pedestrian detections and near-miss events can be recorded, stored, and reviewed remotely to audit site safety and refine operational workflows.

Yes, vehicle detection can be enabled. It can be set to detect humans and vehicles, just humans, or just vehicles. To avoid false alarms, the system can also be set to filter out drivers inside forklifts.

Operational status is managed via output signals integrated into your host system:

• Startup Verification: Transmits a Power-On Self-Test (POST) signal to your controller, reverse alarm, or dashboard light upon boot for immediate visual or audible verification.
• Continuous Monitoring: Outputs a configurable heartbeat signal for real-time camera health and connectivity tracking.

Built for demanding industrial and fleet applications, ViewtechAi™ cameras feature an IP69K rating (suitable for hot pressure washing), ISO 16750-3 (5.9G) vibration resistance, and an operating temperature range from -20°C to 70°C. All cameras are backed by a comprehensive 3-year Viewtech warranty.

Yes. ViewtechAi™ cameras are fully compatible with Fleetview™, our fleet management and vehicle video cloud platform.

Integration capabilities include:

• Automatic Near-Miss Recording: Automatically upload video snippets to the cloud platform whenever a pedestrian detection event occurs.
• Live Streaming: Access live-view video feeds from any connected camera remotely via Fleetview™.
• Footage Retrieval: Download and review recorded historical footage stored on a Fleetview™ Mobile Digital Video Recorder (MDVR).

By pairing ViewtechAi™ pedestrian detection cameras with the Fleetview™ cloud platform, safety managers gain actionable intelligence:

• Real-Time Hazard Alerts: Receive notifications the moment a high-risk pedestrian interaction occurs.
• Spatial Risk Heat-Maps: Visualise high-traffic danger zones to identify where human-vehicle interactions occur most frequently around your facility or site.
• Incident Analytics & Reports: Access structured reports to spot trends across specific shifts, vehicles, or work areas.
• Video Evidence for Training: Download recorded near-miss video snippets directly from the cloud for targeted operator coaching, safety briefings, and incident reviews.
