The MDR-304 mobile video recording system provides enhanced security for people and freight
Following an appeal from the UK 3934 Freight Transport Association (FTA) for drivers to be more aware of the safety and security of their vehicles, 2662 Brigade Electronics has introduced a new mobile digital recorder offering a low-cost solution.

After the theft of several high value loads, external affairs director at the FTA, Geoff Dossetter, said: "Drivers should exercise good judgement and adopt security measures not only to protect the security of their load, but also to ensure their personal safety." Brigade's MDR-304 is a mobile video recording system for commercial vehicles that provides enhanced security for people and freight, while potentially saving many thousands of pounds in fraudulent damage or insurance claims.

Used with up to four Brigade internal and external cameras, it can aid the security of drivers and passengers with four alarm inputs and two alarm outputs which can be triggered in several ways including doors opening or a help button being pressed. 'Shrinkage' can also be greatly reduced or eliminated by recording loading and unloading operations.

The MDR can record GPS information and show the exact location of a vehicle at any given time, which is invaluable in the case of road accidents.

Geoff Hadwick reports from Manchester, UK The way in which the world’s highways are designed, built and used needs to change fast as the gig economy becomes a global phenomenon. Millions of low-paid and badly-trained freelance drivers are now using road as their workplace, all of them working hard under huge amounts of pressure. The tren
