Camera Sees It All

In-cab display from Continental's Pro Viu cameraThe Commercial Vehicles and Aftermarket business unit of Continental offers a new monitoring system to help truck drivers improve overall safety and security. The ProViu ASL360 camera system allows drivers to monitor the entire vehicle and its surroundings at a single glance, maximizing the field of view and eliminating the blind spots, from one video screen.

Four wide-angle micro-cameras monitor the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle and display the video feeds as a single panoramic stream on a 7-in. display. There’s a choice of angles: top-down bird’s eye, raw 180-degree, specific focus single views, and multiple split screen.

ProViu ASL360 is easily adapted to current vehicles and can be integrated into the existing center rack display.

The camera system can be used while in motion or standing still, so the driver can keep an eye on both the vehicle and its cargo. It should reduce maneuvering time and reduce the risk of vehicle damage, as well as the potential downtime and damage repair costs.

Continental has also introduced a new automotive grade DVR to its ProViu ASL360 camera system. The DVR gives users GPS functionality and the added capability of recording up to 32 GB of footage on a standard SD card. It can also record up to four video feeds at one time. It can record vehicle speed and has a G-sensor to log acceleration at the time of the recording.
