Increase terminal security and safety
Camco Technologies’ Under Vehicle Inspection system, TrailerWatch, actively scans truck and trailer undercarriages for anomalies, hidden individuals, or foreign objects. It enhances safety and security when cargo enters terminals or crosses borders.
The system transmits high-resolution images of the chassis to gate operators or remote control rooms, enabling 24/7 inspection. Additionally, it detects mechanical defects, prompting urgent repairs to ensure safer roads.
Unlike conventional horizontal designs, the vertical cover glass resists dirt buildup, and the integrated cleaning system guarantees sharp, reliable imaging in all weather conditions.
Under Vehicle Inspection: seamless integration
The Camco UVI system, TrailerWatch, employs two 5MP line-scan cameras paired with a linear truck presence and speed sensor for enhanced image stitching. Additionally, intelligent LED lighting ensures complete undercarriage illumination, accommodating various vehicle ride heights. The system requires minimal excavation for in-ground housing, and its line cameras and electronics are weather-sealed for durability. Moreover, the Camco UVI can operate as a stand-alone solution or seamlessly integrate with front and rear LPR cameras and the Gate Operating System, linking each truck to its corresponding under-vehicle images.
Under Vehicle Inspection: built to last
The Camco Technologies UVI system features a robust design for easy maintenance, incorporating a vertical camera and mirror housed in a durable, in-ground casing. This setup ensures continuous system uptime by shielding against snow, dust, dirt, and water. Furthermore, it includes separate compartments for the camera and a built-in cleaning system, ensuring optimal performance in all weather conditions. As a result, Camco’s UVI system offers a simple, efficient solution for undercarriage inspections without the need for manual intervention.
