Quick Trouble Shooting Guide

  • Confirm that it is a Brigade Product
  • If the system has a remote control, try replacing the batteries.
  • Follow the guide below. If the problem is not one of those described in the ‘reported fault’ column or if the recommended check does not lead to resolution of the problem, then specialist help is required.
 

Camera Monitoring Systems

Blue screen or ‘No signal’ message

Blue screen or ‘No signal’ message indicates that the channel input selected for display is not receiving a camera video signal.
 

CCTV system works intermittently.

A poor cable connection will result in intermittent function of the system.

Monitor flashes on and off with indicators.

Delay holds the monitor on between flashes of the indicator. If the delay setting is shorter than the gap between indicator flashes, the monitor will go off and come back on again when the indicator flashes.

Picture on monitor is too dark or is monochrome.

Someone has changed the colour, brightness or contrast settings on the monitor.
 

Picture quality is blurred or poor.

Obscuring the camera screen in any way will adversely affect the picture quality shown on the monitor.
Image on the monitor is most easily seen from straight on.

The monitor comes on when brake pedal is pressed or 
when side lights or main lights are switched on.

A fault in the earth for the rear light cluster can cause a current feedback through the reverse light circuit, which can cause the monitor to come on.

Reversing Alarms/Backscan

Device activates when brake pedal is pressed or 
when side lights or main lights are switched on.

A fault in the earth for the rear light cluster can cause a current feedback through the reverse light circuit, which can cause the device to activate.

Device doesn’t work at all

Device is usually wired into the reverse light circuit and will not work if reverse light has no power.

In-cab buzzer is not working or is sounding at incorrect volume

The slide switch has 3 positions, which govern volume:
High, Medium, Off

Volume of reverse alarm is poor / backscan is not activating correctly.

Heavy coverings of dirt can reduce volume of reverse alarms and can cause backscan to trigger at incorrect distance.

Thermal Imaging Camera

Infrared thermal imaging camera

The Brigade Electronics Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera systems enable drivers to see objects by detecting differences in temperature, improving visibility and reaction times and therefore reducing the risk of accidents, particularly in the dark or in harsh weather conditions.

Thermal Image Camera is used in a variety of industries, we're all well aware of spies and the armed forces using them in action, but in relation to vehicle safety these cameras are used to help drivers to see things that would otherwise remain hidden.

In the winter season for example, fog is a dangerous hazard that everyone faces. Eliminate some dangers by using one of Brigades' Thermal Imaging Cameras which allows you to see clearly through the fog by identifying heat sources from other road users or pedestrians, allowing you to identify the hazards around you and arrive safely at your destination.
