Camera recording systems

Installing the equipment means that the council also benefits from reduced insurance premiums and can quickly investigate any complaints from members of the public regarding damage to vehicles or property.

The RX3 system from Innovative Safety Systems (ISS) is now part of the standard specification on all new waste and recycling vehicles operating in the city. With four cameras fitted to the exterior of the vehicle, and a quad screen function, there is total visibility, and over a month’s worth of activity can be stored at any one time.

Willie Whyte, fleet manager, Aberdeen City Council, said: “The ISS system is reliable, very user friendly, tamper proof and the quality of footage is excellent. The main purpose is to prevent accidents and enhance the security of the vehicles. Since using the equipment there has been a reduction in accidents and also fewer false claims. When we recently ordered another 12 vehicles we didn’t hesitate to specify the same system. We’ve tried and tested it, and it works well.”

A leading vehicle safety technology company ISS designs, supplies and maintains vehicle safety and efficiency equipment, most of which is manufactured here in the UK.
