Eagle Eye Obstacle Detection System
Eagle Eye™ Obstacle Detection System
Do your drivers have to maneuver tight spots, deliver in uncontrolled environments, make right turns onto narrow streets, back up often, or drive in crowded traffic where the "no zone" is filled with other vehicles?
Eagle Eye is the safety tool your drivers need to maintain awareness of all potentially dangerous areas around the vehicle.
The typical lifetime cost of accidents is $3,000 per vehicle or more. We can sit down with you, input your actual fleet information to our ROI model, and quickly determine if Eagle Eye will be a valuable investment for your fleet.
Consider fewer accidents, fewer late deliveries, reduced vehicle damages, reduced insurance costs and the resulting increased productivity - you'll see the savings make Eagle Eye a sure win!
The Eagle Eye Advantage
Consists of up to 7 sensors mounted around the truck, wherever the driver needs them, and a single driver alert module (DAM) inside the cab.
Visually and audibly warns truck drivers of potentially hidden obstacles that are within 10 feet of the vehicle during key maneuvers such as backing up or changing lanes.
Can be installed by a technician with little training in less than 2 hours (and less than 1 for many configurations).
The Best Fit For
Operations that entail predominantly local, multi-stop driving.
Operations that require frequent backing up of vehicles.
Companies that have a history of preventable accidents.
Companies with high exposure to freight or property damage.
Heading in the Right Direction
Reduce damage costs

Give your drivers the ultimate safety edge
Eagle Eye System Features
The Eagle Eye's patented Heated Sensor/Digital Display makes the Eagle Eye the safety tool your drivers need to maintain awareness of all potentially dangerous areas around their vehicle.
By melting away any ice or snow coverage, the patented Heated Sensor ensures proper operation of the Eagle Eye even the harshest winter weather. The patented Digital Display allows you to quickly and easily read any obstacle distance in common increments, and then adjust your vehicle if and when necessary.
Eagle Eye is the most rugged, durable, versatile and reliable obstacle detection system available today. Built to last through many summers and winters.
How It Works:
The EagleEye™ Obstacle Detection System uses ultrasonic sensors to detect objects within ten feet of the sides or rear of commercial vehicles, giving the driver an extra "set of eyes" to help avoid backing up or changing lanes into objects - avoiding damage, injury and accident costs.
Up to seven rugged, weather resistant sensors are strategically mounted on the vehicle. The sensors are heated to prevent ice and snow build-up. The dash-mounted digital display provides an audible warning and a distance measurement to the truck drivers of potentially hidden obstacles that are within 10 feet of the vehicle during key maneuvers such as backing up or changing lanes.
The Eagle Eye System:
- Saves Money: Eagle Eye saves vehicle and property damage costs, reduces insurance costs, and ensures high productivity and on-time deliveries.
- Versatile: Eagle Eye works when you are driving fast or slow, backwards or forwards. Up to seven sensors can be placed anywhere on the vehicle, cab or trailer - wherever your driver needs the extra"eyes."
- The Eagle Eye System warns the driver of objects up to 10 feet away.
- Weather-Resistant: In rain, fog, snow, and other difficult weather, your drivers need all the help they can get. Eagle eye features patented heated sensors, is SAE Certified, and is tested by OEMs in extreme conditions.
- Smart: Eagle Eye can be programmed to sound alerts only in specific situations (e.g., warn on sides when blinker is on).
- Easy to Install: Simple wiring and connection to cab takes less than two hours. We can train you or handle installation for you.

Accidents Avoided due to Eagle Eye
- I had a house on a dead end street where I had to drive down and then back up. A car pulled up behind me, as I was about to leave. Eagle Eye informed me of the car pulling up behind me. I almost ran the guy over.

- Driving north on I-35 in the right lane around 2:30 p.m. in semi heavy traffic I attempted to change into the center lane. At the same time another vehicle was attempting a lane change from left lane to center lane. The sensor alerted that another vehicle was approximately 3 ft. from my right. I gave right of way to other vehicle avoiding a possible collision.
