LCD front/side camera systems – better than any life insurance
David against Goliath: to this day bad accidents happen at crossroads, T-junctions and roundabouts, because the drivers of utility vehicles overlook persons next to them who participate in traffic unprotected, e.g. pedestrians or cyclists. Every year 400 people in Europe die from the consequences of such accidents. Wishing to change this situation, the European Union has passed the “mirror directive”. Since January 2007 newly registered utility vehicles weighing above 7.5 t have to be fitted with new mirrors that comply with the EU’s 2003/97/EC mirror directive. WAECO PerfectView front/side camera systems meet this directive and provide extra safety.
A trucker’s job involves risky situations virtually every day.The faster and clearer you visualise the situation, the better. PerfectView camera system make you aware of “weaker” road users moving in your blind spot zone sooner and more safely. Compared to mirrors installed for the same purpose, front and side cameras deliver pictures that are far less distorted. And, unlike complex mirror systems, they shows you everything at a single glance. The picture you receive is crystal-clear, bright and high in contrast. Thanks to its compact design the camera does not protrude beyond the chassis. It is therefore protected from damage and does not impair the design or the aerodynamics of the vehicle either – which even saves fuel. Once installed and aligned, the camera is optimally adapted to each driver. Protect other people from the power exerted by the tremendous weight of your vehicle – and yourself from the nightmare of an accident.

2003/97/EC directive
All utility vehicles with a permissible total weight of over 7.5 t have been subject, since January 2007, to the EU “mirror directive”. New vehicles may only be registered if they are equipped with indirect vision devices that comply with the directive. For the front area, this may as well be a camera-monitor system. An amended directive stipulates that wide-angle and close-proximity mirrors must also be fitted on motor vehicles of 3.5 tonnes and above – even on those already registered.
2007/38/EC directive
The directive stipulates the installation of close-proximity mirrors (ramp mirrors). Monitor-camera systems can be used as complementary equipment. | |

ISO 5006
The ISO 5006 standard demands improved all-round vision for the operators of earth-moving machinery. Operators must be able to detect the presence of a 1.5 metre tall person/object on any point of a reference line around the vehicle. More specifically speaking, a section at least 0.2 m high must be visible. This provision can only be met with indirect vision devices. Deutsche Bahn AG, the German railway company, has stipulated that camera-monitor systems must be fitted on all of their rail-going excavators. BG Bau, the employer’s liability insurance association of Germany’s construction industry, has made a corresponding recommendation to its members. | |
For quick and easy implementation of the “mirror directive” in your vehicle, WAECO offers three high-performance package solutions to suit different demands and budgets. All three PerfectView front/side camera systems are based on advanced, brilliant LCD monitor technology. All three feature the excellent ball-shape front camera, CAM 40. All three are certified according the 2003/97/EC mirror directive of the European Union. Regardless of whether installing a front camera system is mandatory or voluntary (e.g. for trucks built before 2006): the enhanced safety it provides should be reason enough to do it. It can save lives, after all.
