Brigade unveils Haloniq video telematics ecosystem
Brigade Electronics has launched a complete video telematics safety software solution, Haloniq, which brings together risk, compliance and fleet management into a single, secure environment.
Combined with Brigade’s extensive hardware range, global installation capability and local support structure, the system is said to help commercial fleets improve driver behaviour, simplify day-to-day operations and make better-informed decisions.
“With 50 years of safety experience built in, Haloniq is designed to solve the most common risk, compliance and efficiency problems faced by commercial fleet operations,” said James Tyrrell, head of telematics at Brigade Electronics.
“We have created this unified system covering live tracking, intelligent video, driver-safety insight and powerful reporting, which alongside our proven hardware, installation and support, represents a real gamechanger for both our business and the wider marketplace.”
Built as a single platform, the software unifies essential fleet functions and compliance features that would traditionally have required multiple systems running side by side, says Brigade; every event is seamlessly linked to the supporting video, journey and report to provide an intuitive user experience and two-click simplicity. This approach is said to eliminate complexity while enabling the highest levels of visibility and control to drive measurable improvements in driver, vehicle and asset performance.
Brigade’s portfolio of more than 2,000 products allows it to integrate the software with the widest range of camera, detection and safety systems, the company adds, ensuring reliable data from the point of capture through to actionable insights. Camera configurations are aligned to DVS, FORS and CLOCS requirements, while remote tachograph downloads support drivers’ hours compliance.
Haloniq integrates with vehicle manufacturers’ CANBus systems, enabling those operating mixed brand fleets to view performance data through a single dashboard rather than switching between multiple OEM platforms. The device-agnostic nature of the software also allows it to connect with any third-party products, while the REST API supports seamless communication with other complementary fleet systems and telematics platforms. This approach is expected to appeal to commercial fleet operators that have already invested heavily in telematics infrastructure but want to improve visibility across disparate systems.
Simon Collinson, group marketing director, commented: “We ship more than two million products globally each year, so our ability to develop and deploy fleet and video telematics for any customer requirement is unmatched. Our connected offering is not constrained by hardware choice, because the software supports our comprehensive range of dashcams and multi-camera systems alongside other third-party technologies. This means we can meet precise needs regardless of the type of vehicle, application or environment.”
Developed in Europe, Haloniq has been designed to comply with EU data protection, cyber security and AI governance requirements. For example, the phased introduction of the EU AI Act is underway, with full roll-out expected by August 2028, which will impact how AI is used in Europe, so Haloniq has been developed with current and incoming legislation in mind, says Brigade. AI does play an important role within the platform, helping to process information and connect data from multiple sources – but the company says it is taking a measured approach to the technology, particularly as regulatory scrutiny increases.
“We are being cautious to ensure that compliance and cybersecurity remain central to the system’s architecture,” said James Tyrrell.
“There are lots of opportunities, but for us, the accuracy, transparency and reliability of the data now and in the future is paramount.”
While the use of AI is expected to increase as the platform develops, Brigade is currently using it in areas where the technology is not making any decisions for the user. One area the company is capitalising on is how AI can be used to generate bespoke dashboards and reporting. This will enable fleets to access the information and insight most relevant to their vehicle operations.
“The launch represents more than a product release; it is a strategic repositioning of the business,” said Simon Collinson.
“With commercial fleet operators under increasing pressure to improve safety, demonstrate compliance and control operating costs, our aim is to deliver all three with a single, integrated system. Haloniq is a transformational moment in our evolution. The success of the platform will not only mark the beginning of a new chapter for us but also change how fleets view the relationship between safety technology and operational performance.”
