Professional Camera Systems for Vehicle Safety
Better visibility. Greater safety.
Good all-around visibility around a vehicle is essential for the safety of drivers, employees, and other road users. Especially with trucks, construction equipment, and other large vehicles, blind spots can increase the risk of collisions.
That’s why Rietveld partners with MXN, a specialist in professional camera systems for commercial and industrial vehicles.
MXN develops cameras and monitors for rear-view, side-view, front-view, and general all-around visibility around vehicles, among other applications. Rietveld adapts this technology into a camera solution tailored to your vehicle, application, and work environment.
MXN: Camera Systems for Professional Use
MXN focuses specifically on camera systems for professional mobile applications. The systems are used on trucks, trailers, buses, agricultural vehicles, garbage trucks, cranes, loaders, and other heavy equipment, among others.
Safety, reliability, durability, and ease of useare centralto these systems .
The products are developed for conditions in which cameras are exposed daily to factors such as vibrations, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and dirt. MXN therefore has its products tested for waterproofing, vibration resistance, temperature resistance, and saltwater resistance, among other things.
Several MXN cameras and monitors have an IP69K rating. MXN also states that its products are EMC-approved and CE-marked; various models have additional approvals for indirect vision.
Cameras for Different Fields of View
No two vehicles or work situations are the same. That’s why, at Rietveld, we first assess the risk and the desired field of view.
MXN cameras can be used for, among other things:
- rear view when reversing and maneuvering;
- side view to improve visibility of blind spots next to the vehicle;
- front view for areas directly in front of the vehicle;
- additional all-around visibility around the vehicle;
- camera monitoring of specific tasks or vehicle components.
Depending on the application, we combine cameras with a suitable monitor and the necessary interfaces and connections.
Cameras and Monitors as a Single System
A camera system is more than just a camera.
MXN offers a wide range of cameras, monitors, interfaces, and accessories that can be combined to create various configurations. These include monitors capable of displaying multiple camera feeds and systems with split-screen functionality.
This allows Rietveld to put together a solution that fits the driver’s or operator’s daily routine.
The basic principle is simple: the driver must have a clear view of the area where the risk is located at the right moment.
Person and Object Detection Camera System
MXN takes it a step further with the MCN44C-MOD, the so-called Moving Object Detection Camera.
This compact camera detects moving objects and people and comes equipped with an audio warning alarm and a TVI monitor speaker.
Designed for Harsh Conditions
A camera mounted on a truck or machine must function reliably for years.
That is why MXN develops its systems for professional and intensive use. Depending on the model, cameras feature characteristics such as a rugged housing, high water resistance, heating, infrared illumination, and resistance to vibrations and extreme temperature fluctuations.
For example, there are MXN cameras with an IP69K rating, automatic heating, and a specified operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C.
This makes the systems suitable for applications where a standard consumer camera simply isn’t enough.
Maintaining Existing Vehicle Integration
A key strength of MXN is its focus on connectivity and compatibility.
For years, MXN has kept its camera connections as compatible as possible. As a result, existing installations can be upgraded in certain situations without having to rewire all existing camera cabling.
In addition, MXN offers various interfaces that allow cameras to be connected to existing vehicle systems and monitors.
For example, there are interfaces for vehicle systems from manufacturers such as Volvo and Scania, as well as solutions for connecting to external monitors.
This can be particularly beneficial for fleets when existing vehicles are being modified or upgraded, or when older cameras or monitors need to be replaced.From backup cameras to custom camera systems
Rietveld doesn’t simply supply a camera from a catalog.
We assess the vehicle, the type of work being performed, the view from the cab, and the risks surrounding the vehicle. Based on this, we determine which cameras and monitors are needed and where they should best be installed.
Consider, for example:
- trucks and tractors;
- trailers;
- delivery vans;
- construction and infrastructure equipment;
- cranes;
- agricultural machinery;
- waste and sanitation vehicles;
- service vehicles.
This results in a camera system that is tailored to both the vehicle and the environment in which it is used.MXN as part of Rietveld Fleet Safety
Within Rietveld, cameras are an important component of Fleet Safety.
Depending on the safety issue, a camera system can be used on its own or as part of a broader vehicle safety solution.
In addition to camera systems, Rietveld also provides solutions for detection, automatic braking, signaling, lighting, and alarm systems, among others.
This allows us to look beyond a single product and advise on the combination that best suits the specific risks and operational needs.
The Power of Collaboration
MXN provides professional camera technology. Rietveld ensures that this technology is properly implemented in and around the vehicle.
Our specialists advise on the desired field of view, select the appropriate cameras and monitors, and handle the professional installation.
In doing so, we look not only at what is technically possible, but above all at what the driver or operator needs in daily practice.
In this way, we turn camera technology into a practical contribution to vehicle safety.
Why choose Rietveld?
Rietveld has years of experience with vehicle safety and camera systems for professional fleets.
We combine reliable technology from specialized suppliers such as MXN with our expertise in vehicles, installation, and the real-world environments in which our customers operate.
From a single backup camera to a more extensive camera system for heavy equipment: we advise, supply, install, and provide support—all from a single source.
