Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment camera systems for construction.
The heavy equipment camera system designed for the realities of construction sites — operator visibility around large machinery, ground crew safety, multi-angle blind-spot coverage, and the documented safety culture today's construction operations require.
Built for excavators, loaders, dozers, graders, articulated dump trucks, and off-highway construction equipment.
Where cameras typically go on heavy equipment.
Camera placement on heavy equipment varies dramatically by equipment type. Excavators focus on boom-area visibility and rear/side coverage. Loaders need attachment-area visibility plus rear and side coverage. Dozers prioritize forward operating area and rear blind zones. Articulated dump trucks have similar configurations to standard dump trucks with adjustments for the articulation joint.

Problem
Ground crew safety in operator blind zones
The largest blind zones on heavy equipment are the spaces immediately adjacent to and behind the machine — exactly where ground crews work. Spotters mitigate the risk but introduce new risk by putting people in the danger zone. Cameras give operators direct visibility, reducing the need for spotters in the highest-risk positions.
Solution
Multi-angle blind zone coverage
A typical heavy equipment installation includes rear, side, and operating-envelope cameras positioned to cover every blind zone the operator can't see from the cab. In-cab monitors give operators real-time visibility — replacing the need for spotters in the highest-risk positions. Ground crews stay safer; operations move faster.
Problem
Multi-angle visibility on articulated and oversized equipment
Articulated dump trucks, large loaders, and equipment with significant attachments create visibility challenges that single-camera solutions can't address. Operators need real-time visibility to multiple directions simultaneously — backing direction, blind-side adjacent, attachment area, and the operating envelope of the boom or arm.
Solution
Ruggedized hardware engineered for site conditions
The skEYE-One mDVR and associated cameras are rated for the conditions heavy equipment operates in: heavy vibration, dust exposure, temperature extremes, impact resistance, and continuous-duty operation. Mounting positions are chosen to minimize direct exposure where possible, but the equipment itself is built for the environment.
Problem
Site documentation and incident reconstruction
Construction site incidents trigger investigations from OSHA, insurance, legal, and operational stakeholders. Without recorded multi-angle video of the incident environment, reconstruction is difficult and resolution is slow. With documented HD video, investigations resolve faster and operations resume sooner.
Solution
HD evidence for every incident investigation
Every camera feed records continuously to the skEYE-One mDVR's onboard storage. When a site incident triggers an OSHA investigation, an insurance claim, or an internal safety review, multi-angle HD video is available with timestamp and equipment-position data. Investigations resolve faster, settlements happen sooner, and safety improvements happen with real data to support them.

Pricing
Base hardware from $890 · Full configuration custom-quoted per equipment piece
When the full system is more than you need
When Complete isn't the right fit.
No alternative recommended
For most heavy equipment applications, Complete is the only configuration that addresses the multi-angle visibility requirements. Single-camera or two-camera packages (Essential, Vision, Guardian) are designed for over-the-road commercial vehicles, not construction equipment.
Best when: If you're considering a single-camera solution for heavy equipment, talk to us during your discovery call — we'll be honest if Complete isn't right for your specific application.
