Brigade Electronics has launched Haloniq, a video telematics software platform aimed at commercial fleets. According to FleetPoint, the platform brings fleet risk, compliance and management functions into a single environment, rather than spread across several disconnected systems.
Brigade says Haloniq covers live tracking, intelligent video, driver-safety insight and reporting. It links individual events to supporting video, journey information and reports, so a fleet manager can go from spotting an incident to understanding what happened without switching applications. Brigade describes this as "two-click simplicity".
Hardware and standards
Haloniq is built to work with Brigade's hardware range, which the company says covers more than 2,000 products, including vehicle cameras and detection systems. The software can take data from vehicle-mounted safety equipment and combine it with telematics and fleet management information.
Brigade says camera configurations can be aligned with the Direct Vision Standard (DVS), the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) and Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) requirements. These are most relevant to operators working in and around urban areas. Haloniq also supports remote tachograph downloads, which helps with drivers' hours compliance.
Not limited to Brigade devices
Brigade says the platform is device-agnostic and can connect with third-party equipment. That could help mixed fleets where vehicles carry different generations of cameras, telematics units or safety devices. FleetPoint notes that this could give operators more flexibility when adding the system to an existing fleet.
Haloniq also includes a REST API for connecting with other fleet management, telematics and complementary software. FleetPoint's report does not say which third-party devices or systems are supported.
Simon Collinson, Group Marketing Director at Brigade, said the company ships more than two million products globally each year and that its connected offering is not constrained by hardware choice. James Tyrrell, Head of Telematics, said the platform has 50 years of safety experience built in.
What is not yet clear
The source material is largely a description of the launch. It does not give pricing, availability by region, customer deployments, or details on how the video analysis works. Operators weighing it against a current platform will need to ask Brigade for those specifics, along with the list of compatible third-party hardware and how data would be exported or shared through the API.
The launch marks a step by Brigade from individual vehicle safety products toward a software-led video telematics offering, with installation and support bundled alongside it.
