The redesign, which began in the fall of 2023, is part of Brandmotion’s commitment to continuously adapt its outreach and services to meet and exceed the evolving needs of its customers. “We want our customers to have the best possible online experience that reflects who Brandmotion is today, not who we were five years ago,” stated Brandon Bahr, Head of Sales and Marketing at Brandmotion.

Upgrade Your RV Visibility

October 25, 2023 Industry News

Upgrade Your RV Visibility OCTOBER 25, 2023 // Elizabeth Breneiser As the leaves change and the fall weather rolls in, it’s time to winterize your recreational vehicle (RV) in preparation for the colder months ahead. While you’re inspecting your tanks, batteries, and water lines, take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade your RV’s visibility for the adventures to come. RVs, among the largest consumer vehicles on the road, often lack the safety features found in typical passenger vehicles, making visibility a significant concern. Brandmotion’s AHDS-7810v2 Wireless HD Observation System brings clarity to your long-haul road trips, whether you’re backing up in tight campsites, fueling up in crowded places, or anywhere you may travel. The AHDS-7810v2 consists of a monitor and a camera, and is ideal for regaining the views you’d typically have with a rearview mirror. This live streaming camera provides a crucial perspective at all times while operating your vehicle, not just when in reverse. Unlike some competitor products with 480p camera resolution, Brandmotion’s camera offers a stunning 1080p resolution, providing much clearer views. For expanded visibility, consider adding the full 78’ Series to your trailer. The AHDS-7811v2 Wireless HD Observation Camera offers a secondary perspective for your trailer. This is great for monitoring precious cargo while on the road or obtaining an additional perspective from your trailer. Some creative applications of this camera include a front facing camera off of the trailer, for added security and DVR recording in the unfortunate event of a collision. Other RVers use the camera for a bumper view while backing up their trailer, or even over their trailer door for observation purposes. The AHDS-7812 Wireless HD Side Marker Light Cameras provide visibility of the sides of your trailer. These side marker light cameras are the most popular addition to the base observation system. With the addition of the cameras, your blind spots will be significantly reduced, providing drivers peace of mind while on the road. With many viewing options through the monitor, you may view anywhere from one to four cameras at once for optimal visibility during your travels or while on-site. A popular screen option while on the road is a 3-camera view, with the side marker light cameras and rear cameras. With a quick installation time, along with installation guides and user manuals, the installation process is a breeze. Have a question during the install process? Assistance is available via the Brandmotion Technical Support line during workdays and regular Eastern Time business hours, or you may fill out a Technical Support request form. Check out our product pages for more information, product specifications, and installation materials. Take the stress out of your next adventure, and enjoy the road ahead!

Brandmotion Gives Drivers an Unobstructed View of the Road Behind Their Trailers

May 10, 2021 News

Brandmotion Gives Drivers an Unobstructed View of the Road Behind Their Trailers SOUTHFIELD, MICH., May 10, 2021 Brandmotion, leading developer of automotive safety technology, is making it possible for drivers with trailers to get a completely unimpeded rear view for the first time. The Transparent Trailer™ Rear Camera Mirror is a versatile new safety and convenience aid that replaces the traditional rear-view mirror. It comes with a full 1080 video screen that streams live video from an HD camera mounted at the back of the trailer — helping drivers see more than ever before.Transparent Trailer improves on the conventional mirror by providing a clear high-definition view, with no obstructions from the trailer behind the vehicle. The vision system provides a 170-degree-wide field of vision with a 9.5” LCD screen and 1080p high-definition camera. The result is a clear, unobstructed view of the surroundings behind the trailer. Transparent Trailer also features input channels for two cameras to be mounted on the truck or on the trailer. When the trailer is disconnected, a second camera on the truck can remain connected to the mirror. Alternatively, the second camera can provide visibility inside the trailer to ensure the cargo or livestock is safe.“We are very excited about this product, mainly because we know it will positively impact customers’ lives,” said Jeff Varick, CEO and Founder of Brandmotion. “Whether you’re pulling a landscaping trailer, a horse trailer, or a toy hauler, you can now see the road behind you. It’s like seeing right through your trailer. This is the first product of its kind that allows drivers to see behind a trailer right in the rearview mirror. ”Because Brandmotion’s mission is to reduce distractions that cause road collisions and reduce the strain on drivers towing trailers, the vision system is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. Transparent Trailer looks like a standard factory-installed rearview mirror, so that drivers have a completely uninterrupted driving experience. The 30-meter harness allows the product to integrate with any trailer up to 45 feet in length. Brandmotion provides drivers of any vehicle with retrofit versions of innovative products that are typically available only on new vehicles. The goal is to equip cars with the most outstanding safety technology, today — not years from now, when older vehicles are eventually replaced. Transparent Trailer is a ground-breaking product similar to the always-on rear camera mirror found on many newer vehicles, which provides dramatically improved rear visibility. “We believe that all customers should have access to the latest safety features. Our mission is to help make commercial vehicles safer, and this product aligns perfectly with that. Brandmotion provides the highest quality retrofit vehicle safety solutions that people can trust.” said Varick.

The Aftermarket Is the Key to Preventing Fatal Accidents

March 23, 2021 Industry News

The Aftermarket Is the Key to Preventing Fatal Accidents MARCH 23, 2021 // JEFF VARICK Brandmotion is a company on a mission. We want to see every vehicle on the road equipped with lifesaving collision-avoidance technology. Not just new vehicles, but every vehicle. Cars, commercial trucks, fleet vans, new vehicles, old ones — even classics. There are 280 million vehicles on the road right now, and only 15 million new vehicles are built each year. That means 95 percent of the cars and trucks on the road are missing the latest safety technology. Nobody really focuses on that 95 percent, but only the 15 million new vehicles. If we’re going to make every car on the road safer, we need to focus on retrofitting those other 95% of vehicles — today. https://youtu.be/9A7zS7hluXE Why Retrofit Safety Products? Brandmotion focuses on the aftermarket. Most people think of the aftermarket as spoilers and lift kits and wheels and floor mats. But we can use the aftermarket to save lives. No one has really talked about that before. It isn’t something that leaders in Washington or policy makers are considering. But not only is it a valid strategy, it also means you don’t have to wait until all of today’s vehicles are retired to see lives saved. Several years ago, one study showed that if all the vehicles on the road had the same safety technology the newest vehicles are equipped with, we could save 10,000 lives a year. We’re losing 40,000 lives every year in the United States due to car crashes. That means we could cut road deaths by 25 percent overnight, simply by equipping every car on the road with the latest safety technologies. The key to doing that is through the aftermarket, because the vehicles are already on the road. If you’re a consumer or a fleet manager, you don’t have to buy a new vehicle. The average age of a car is getting longer all the time — it’s up to 12 years now. That’s a long time to wait for the latest safety technology. What if you could have that technology in your current vehicle, today? And in many cases, you can get the technology sooner than auto manufacturers can provide it. Because it can take years to develop and integrate at the OEM level, while we can bring it to market faster. https://youtu.be/ScIH_Uj7snI Retrofit Doesn’t Mean Inferior Saving lives doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice appearance or integration quality. At Brandmotion, we care deeply about how our products integrate into your vehicle. We don’t want our customers to be able to tell that it’s any different from the factory model. Our goal is nothing less than integrating products as if they came off the dealer’s lot. You won’t find suction cups or Velcro® on any of our technology. It’s integrated so seamlessly that if you didn’t know it’s an aftermarket product, you’d never know it’s an aftermarket product. https://youtu.be/IMwc-4t4Dws Saving Lives Together Anything that can help keep a driver safe shouldn’t be reserved only for new vehicles. It should be for everyone. We believe so strongly in that mission that we’re helping other suppliers to introduce their automotive safety technologies to OEMs. And, we’re on a mission to educate the broad public about the availability of life saving technology through the Vision Zero Automotive Network, which we founded. When you have a new vehicle technology or ADAS solution to take to market, it isn’t enough to prove that it works. Your automotive idea has to be developed to OEM standards and it has to prove effective to its target market. As developers of integrated automotive solutions we know how to help. Whether you’re a two-person team or an automotive supplier, we can help you demonstrate your new technology, prove and expand revenue possibilities and find markets. What’s Next in Automotive Safety Technology Since 2009, we’ve focused on cameras and sensors, which give drivers additional information to be more aware of their environment and avoid collisions. More recently, we’ve adapted radar blindspot technology, which was once thought to be unpromising as an aftermarket product. Now we’re seeing smart technology being applied to cameras and sensors, so they can process what they’re seeing. Dash cams aren’t just recording the road ahead, but are also measuring the rate at which you’re approaching the car in front of you. They can tell if you’re drifting out of your lane. They can also monitor drivers and alert them if they become distracted or start falling asleep. We’re even seeing opportunities to connect those smart cameras and sensors into a network where vehicles are talking to each other. It’s an incredibly exciting opportunity for the aftermarket. There’s so much new technology making its way to cars and trucks, it boggles the mind. It’s an exciting time to be in the automotive safety aftermarket. We’re excited to be able to adapt that technology and make it available to every car and truck that’s on the road, and to make the road safer for everyone. Discover how we can help make your fleet vehicles safer and less costly.
