TrafficAngel were contacted by Anna of WPJ group (who specialise in shop fitting and high-pressure cleaning) in September 2023; she wanted to discuss getting a live camera system installed to one of their Peugeot Boxer Luton vans, so as always, we discussed the specification in detail and provided a quotation to supply and fit exactly what was required. The quotation was approved, and a date booked in for Late October.
A tale of 2 installations!
We fitted a high definition 4 camera system linked to a 4G-enabled DVR and a 7-inch HD monitor. The monitor was configured to automatically show the nearside, offside or rear camera when the vehicle is signalling to turn or is in reverse. Once the system was connected to our LiveDrive server, Anna and her colleagues were able to connect to the vehicle remotely, stream video from all 4 cameras, see the vehicle’s position and speed on a map, and if needed play back video stored on the hard drive in the event of an incident.
We provided remote technical support to get the LiveDrive and playback apps installed, and training for operating and using the system and software.
We were contacted by Anna again in November
This time wanting to discuss getting an extensive interior and exterior lighting system installed alongside a leisure battery. After some in-depth discussions over a couple of months regarding their requirements, we again provided a quotation for the work and arranged a 2 day block in March to carry out the installation due to the amount of work required.
We fitted a pair of amber strobe lights on the front and rear of the vehicle body with an additional pair on the front bumper (controlled by an illuminated rocker switch in the cab), a pair of work lights on each side of the body (each pair independently controlled with their own switch in the cab), interior LED lights inside the vehicle body (controlled by a PIR for automatic operation) and a tail lift alarm to warn the operator that the tail lift has not been switched off at the rear of the vehicle. All the new lighting was connected to a leisure battery installed under the passenger bench seat and linked to the main battery via a split-charge relay to keep the leisure battery topped up.
In addition, Anna requested an additional rear camera to record a larger area behind the vehicle when people are working nearby. This required upgrading the DVR to an 8-channel version, so we offered a generous trade-in deal to buy back the 4-channel model that was already fitted.
This was one of our more complex and challenging jobs due to the amount of hardware being fitted and the way it was all wired in and controlled. However, our engineers were more than up to the task and the customer ended up with a versatile and comprehensive set of safety equipment that suited their specific needs exactly.
If you have a requirement for recording/live camera systems, vehicle lighting, Progressive Safe Systems or external pedestrian/cyclist warning alarms, please get in touch and one of our team will be happy to discuss in detail all aspects of the work and provide a competitive quotation. We pride ourselves on top-class customer service and a personal approach to working together which has earned us repeat business from our loyal customer base year after year. We look forward to hearing from you!
