External Cameras
A vehicle’s blind spots are some of its greatest safety risks, areas a driver simply cannot see through mirrors alone. External cameras close that gap, giving drivers a clear, real-time view of what’s happening around the vehicle. SM UK supplies and fits a range of external cameras, from single reversing and load area views to full 360° surround coverage, suited to commercial vehicles of all types.
- High-definition AHD cameras as standard, fitted for reversing and load area views
- Eyeball cameras with adjustable viewing angles for flexible mounting positions
- Birdseye 360 system with AI for complete surround visibility
- Compatible with all SM UK monitor and recording systems
- Suitable for HGVs, plant, vans, and trailers
Blind Spot Cameras
Sometimes a fixed camera just won’t give you the angle you need, that’s where the Eyeball Camera comes in. Its flush-mount design and adjustable swivel let you fine-tune the exact view your driver needs, wherever it’s positioned on the vehicle.
It doesn’t lose performance when the light does either. High-definition image quality paired with infrared LEDs keeps visibility sharp after dark or in poorly lit yards and depots, so your drivers see clearly no matter the conditions.
Reverse & Load Cameras
Whatever’s happening behind your vehicle or inside your load space, you should be able to see it instantly and clearly. Our high-definition AHD camera gives drivers exactly that, a sharp, dependable view that takes the guesswork out of reversing and load monitoring.
Featuring 4 high-power Infrared LEDs allowing for clear visibility, even in ultra-low light performance.
Birdseye 360 - AI
Manoeuvring a large vehicle in a tight space shouldn’t mean relying on guesswork. Birdseye 360 gives drivers a complete, real-time top-down view of the entire vehicle in a single image, stitched together from four ultra wide-angle cameras, so blind spots simply disappear.
It goes a step further too. Built-in AI technology recognises people around the vehicle and alerts the driver audibly and visually the moment someone’s detected, turning a standard surround view into an active safety system that works for you, not just one you have to watch.
FAQs
We’ve answered some of your most frequently asked questions. Don’t find what your looking for? Don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of our team for expert advise.
What's the difference between an eyeball camera and a standard camera?
An eyeball camera has an adjustable swivel and rotation mount, allowing the viewing angle to be fine-tuned after installation. A standard camera has a fixed mounting position, which is suitable for most reversing and load area applications.
Can I use these cameras with an older trailer?
Yes. While high-definition cameras are fitted as standard, some older trailers may require a standard definition camera to remain compatible with existing wiring or display equipment. Our team will advise on the right option during installation.
Do I need a monitor to use these cameras?
Yes, external cameras need to be paired with a monitor or recording system to display the feed. We can advise on the right combination for your vehicle.
Can these cameras be used with Birdseye 360 at the same time?
Yes. Many fleets combine individual reversing or load cameras with Birdseye 360 for complete coverage, depending on the vehicle and operational requirements.
