AI Camera vs Radar: Which Is Better for Commercial Vehicle Safety?
Blind spots don’t show up in a KPI dashboard until they become a near-miss, a claim, or a preventable injury. And commercial fleets face a harder version of the problem than passenger cars: longer vehicles, more varied duty cycles, and operating environments that swing from highways to yards to jobsites. So when a fleet manager […]

How the European GSR Regulation Impacts Truck Camera Systems?
European road safety policy is steadily raising expectations for how well heavy vehicles manage blind spots, reversing risk, and vulnerable road user (VRU) protection. The EU’s General Safety Regulation (GSR) doesn’t mandate one specific camera brand or architecture, but it does move camera- and sensor-based visibility aids from “nice to have” toward “expected baseline.” For […]
2026 Commercial Vehicle Safety Camera System Regulations
A practical, compliance-first overview of how EU, UNECE, UK and U.S. rules shape commercial vehicle camera systems heading into 2026.
Why is My Backup Camera Not Working? Common Causes and Fixes
1. Introduction In commercial vehicles, a backup camera failure is more than an inconvenience. A black screen or “no signal” during backing can slow dock operations, increase spotter use, and raise incident risk—especially with trailers, liftgates, and tight yard geometry. To troubleshoot efficiently, think of the system as a chain: power and ground → reverse trigger […]
What is a Vehicle CCD Camera, and How Does It Compare to CMOS?
Reversing a truck, trailer, RV, forklift, or machine is often a “can’t-see-what-you-can-hit” problem. Mirrors help, but they can’t show every angle at once—especially close to the bumper, along the passenger side, or at a trailer’s far end. That’s why many operations add a commercial vehicle camera system to reduce blind spot risk during backing, turning, and tight maneuvering. If […]
UNECE R46 Explained: Camera Monitor System for Commercial Vehicle
Commercial vehicles have relied on exterior mirrors for indirect vision for decades, but mirror coverage is constrained by vehicle geometry and fixed mounting points. For fleets and OEM teams evaluating a camera monitor system (CMS) as a mirror replacement, UNECE Regulation No. 46 (UN ECE R46) is a core reference because it defines type-approval requirements for devices for indirect vision. […]
Why Forklifts Need a Camera on the Fork Arm?
A forklift’s most dangerous blind spot isn’t behind the truck—it’s right in front of the forks. When a load is raised, stacked, wrapped, or oversized, the operator’s natural line of sight is blocked by the cargo, the mast, and the carriage. The truck may still be moving forward, but the driver can’t clearly see what the forks are approaching: […]
What Does Rear View Camera Delay Actually Mean?
Key Takeaways “Rear view camera delay” can describe a problem (the image appears late after you shift into Reverse) or a feature/control (rear camera delay control keeps the rear view on briefly after shifting out of Reverse). If the image is late to appear, treat it as safety-relevant: you lose rear visibility right when the vehicle may start moving. Common […]
