2 Introduction to Backeye®360 HD
Brigade’s BN360-300 Series Backeye® 360° HD system is an advanced camera monitor system that provides a high-
definition simulated birds-eye-view of the vehicle, giving drivers the ability to see all around the vehicle in a single
image. Using Backeye® 360 HD systems drivers can significantly improve blind spot visibility and low speed
manoeuvrability versus traditional camera monitor systems. The BN360-300 system comprises of four of Brigade’s
ultra-wide-angled 720p HD cameras, an ECU and power and interface harnesses. By placing the ultra-wide-angled
HD cameras symmetrically around the vehicle the ECU can capture and process single camera images into a single,
top-down view of the full surroundings of the vehicle. The BN360-300 system is compatible with AHD (30fps) and
CVBS (NTSC) monitors such as Brigade’s HD monitor range.
Please Note:
The composite view is not a true overhead pan view and objects may appear distorted, partial or
further/closer away than they appear – especially in areas where the image is a combination of two cameras
(i.e. where the two camera images “blend”). It is imperative that Brigade Backeye®360 HD is fitted and
commissioned by competent and trained technicians. The installer is responsible for the fitness for purpose
of the overall system and adheres to relevant regulations and legislation. Operators of the vehicle to which
the Brigade Backeye®360 HD system is fitted must be made fully aware of how to interpret the images
provided by the system so they will not be distracted by or rely completely on it. Distraction can cause
accidents. The system is intended to aid the operator, who must still concentrate on operating the vehicle,
obey traffic and local regulations and continue to use his/her own training, senses and other vehicle aids,
such as mirrors, as would be done if the system were not in place. Nothing removes the responsibility of the
operator to operate the vehicle in a proper and lawful manner.
