Human Form Recognition Systems
Enhancing machine safety and protecting workers
HFR Camera Systems for improved visibility and safety around a machine, especially when manoeuvring.
What are HFR Cameras?
HFR stands for human form recognition. HFR cameras use AI technology built within a camera to 'detect' a human using complex AI algorithms. Once a human is identified by an HFR camera, an alert is then triggered to a driver or operator, providing them with a warning of the risk. Now becoming more popular on construction sites, the cameras provide operators with valuable time to prevent life threatening incidents and make sites safer.
VUE's innovative HFR system is proven to minimise blind spots around vehicles and machines to significantly reduce the number of incidents on site. Ultimately, it protects workers in one of the most dangerous and high-risk industries. MIRA tested, the system has a 97% pass rate and is proven to work in a variety of environments and conditions - an essential requirement for the construction industry.
To further enhance your fleet operations, you can also access an online solution that links the HFR cameras to a central hub, enabling you to use telematics data and footage to make more informed decisions and enhance your reporting on site safety through near-miss analysis.

Another lucky near-miss?
With VUE's human detection technology a near-miss has got nothing to do with luck.
The AI human detection system gives machine operators those precious few moments to react to an individual around the vehicle, preventing an incident from happening and ultimately saving lives.

What are HFR Cameras and how do they prevent site accidents?
HFR cameras use innovative human detection technology to identify humans in Amber and Red zones around an operating machine; both sides and the rear.
Cameras cover 360° around a vehicle, with a detection zone coverage of 300°.
The human detection cameras provide a real-time visual and audible alert in-cab to warn the operator of the potential danger. The high-definition image highlights the risk, enabling operators to take the necessary action. An external speaker can also be fitted to warn the individual at risk and increase worker awareness of the operating machine.
As the human form recognition system with AI technology can differentiate between humans and static objects e.g., bricks or scaffolding, this prevents excessive alerting and makes it an accurate solution that workers can trust.

If an alert is triggered by any of the three HFR cameras or the in-cab panic button is pressed in the event of an emergency, this sends an automatic alert to the site manager. Footage from the incident can be viewed on VUEhub which enables fleet managers to have full awareness of what is happening on-site, provide clarity on incidents, and improve overall safety.
All alerts can be downloaded in an Excel report and colour-coded based on severity for easy organisation and prioritisation. When paired with the footage, these reports add vital context to situations and site managers can use this information to identify workers who need additional training and make more data-driven decisions.
The comprehensive alerting system provides managers with:
• Tools for deeper accident analysis
• Instant visibility of an accident
• Resource for safety training
