Brandmotion’s UTV Camera System Offers Offroading Adventure and Confidence

January 18, 2021

Brandmotion’s UTV Camera System Offers Offroading Adventure and Confidence SOUTHFIELD, MICH., January 18, 2021 Brandmotion has released the latest in its popular SummitView™ series of off-road camera systems. The SUTV-2010 and SUTV-2020 products come with a high-definition 1080p resolution monitor and camera system for clear, crisp video — making it easier to navigate with confidence. For drivers who need better visibility behind their vehicle, the SUTV-2010 provides a single-camera high-definition rear vision system. For the owner who needs to see both behind and ahead when trail riding, the SUTV-2020 provides a dual-camera system to focus on the ride without needing a trail spotter. The SUTV-2020 system also features a dual-channel DVR so enthusiasts can relive their adventures time and time again. The SummitView UTV Rear Vision System easily mounts to the rear of any off-road vehicle. It is designed to be especially helpful for backing up on tight trails and is equipped with infrared technology to deliver superior nighttime vision. The 7″ LCD display monitor offers a rugged roll cage bracket that can fit any standard roll cage tubing. SummitView is the latest in Brandmotion’s growing roster of UTV safety equipment. It’s very difficult for drivers to see to the side or behind an offroad vehicle, and many UTVs don’t come with mirrors, creating a 180-degree blindspot. Hundreds of off-road fatalities occur every year, but the SummitView system promises to help reduce them. “The Powersports category represents a huge and growing market, and there is a great opportunity to make off-roading more accessible to a wider number of enthusiasts,” said Lucas Frank, Brandmotion President and COO. “We take a lot of pride in understanding our customers and identifying new products that provide unique value for them. ”The UTV market is an exploding segment for vehicle accessory suppliers. Experts expect the UTV industry to see a boom from $11 billion in 2018 to about $14 billion by 2025. About 82% of owners have purchased or plan to purchase upgrades to their vehicles, and UTV upgrade spending is up over 50 percent since 2018.Brandmotion’s SummitView UTV Camera System was named runner-up for Best New Powersports Product at SEMA’s inaugural SEMA360 online trade event in 2020. It was selected from more than 2,200 products in the SEMA360 New Products Showcase — a lineup that represented the most innovative and cutting-edge automotive aftermarket products that will become available in 2021. About Brandmotion Since 2005, Brandmotion has been working continuously to reduce the number of lives lost on our roads due to traffic accidents.

Brandmotion Let’s Commercial Drivers See More Than They’ve Ever Seen Before SOUTHFIELD, MICH., January 7, 2021 Brandmotion, leading developer of automotive safety technology, is making it possible for commercial drivers to get a completely unimpeded rear view for the first time. The FullVUE® Rear Camera Mirror (FVMR-1150) is a versatile new safety and convenience aid that replaces the traditional rear-view mirror with a full HD video screen, helping drivers see more than ever before. The FullVUE Mirror has become one of the most popular products that Brandmotion offers to consumer and fleet drivers. Now, Brandmotion is making this revolutionary product available to commercial customers as well.   The FullVUE Rear Camera Mirror improves on the conventional mirror by providing a clear high-definition view, with no obstructions from passengers, headrests, or cargo. The vision system provides a 170-degree-wide field of vision, three times larger than the traditional view with a 9.66” LCD Screen and 1080p high-definition camera. The mirror also features a built-in front camera with DVR to provide all the benefits of a dash cam. The camera has been upgraded to an IP-68 rated commercial-grade camera for the rugged applications many commercial vehicles operate in. “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. “Commercial truck drivers can now see the road behind them with an unimpeded view, since the camera mounts outside the vehicle. Eliminating rear-view obstructions and blind spots means saving lives, and that’s what we’re all about. ”Because Brandmotion’s mission is to reduce distractions that cause road collisions, the vision system is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. The FullVUE Mirror looks like a standard OEM component, so that commercial drivers have a completely uninterrupted driving experience.Brandmotion provides commercial customers with retrofit versions of innovative products that are available on newer vehicles. The goal is to equip fleets with the most outstanding safety technology, today — not years from now, when trucks are eventually replaced. The FullVUE Mirror 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.

Brandmotion’s One-of-a-kind UTV Camera Turns Heads at SEMA

December 1, 2020 News

Brandmotion’s SummitView™ UTV Camera System was named runner-up for Best New Powersports Product at the SEMA360 online trade event. Southfield, MI (PRUnderground) December 1st, 2020 Brandmotion’s SummitView™ UTV Camera System was named runner-up for Best New Powersports Product at SEMA’s inaugural SEMA360 online trade event. The SummitView UTV Dual 1080p Camera System with High Definition 7-inch DVR Monitor, part number SUTV-2020, was selected from more than 2,200 products in the SEMA360 New Products Showcase. The lineup represented the most innovative and cutting-edge automotive aftermarket products that will become available in 2021. The SummitView UTV Rear Vision System is a must-have offroading backup system that easily mounts to the rear of any off-road vehicle. It is especially helpful for backing up on tight trails and is equipped with infrared technology to deliver superior nighttime vision. The 7″ LCD display monitor offers a rugged roll cage bracket that can fit any standard roll cage tubing. SummitView is a game-changing accessory for UTV owners. When drivers are buckled in with a five-point harness and a fully-formed seat, they can’t turn their head. It’s very difficult to see to the side or behind the vehicle. Because many UTVs don’t come with mirrors, drivers have a 180-degree blindspot. With other vehicles on the trail, a collision can come out of nowhere. Hundreds of off-road fatalities occur every year, but the SummitView system can help eliminate them. “The Powersports category represents a huge and growing market, and there is a great opportunity to make off-roading more accessible to a wider number of enthusiasts. This award is a significant recognition for Brandmotion, and we are honored and humbled,” said Lucas Frank, Brandmotion President and COO. “We take a lot of pride in understanding our customers and identifying new products that provide unique value for them. It’s especially rewarding to see it recognized by industry leaders such as SEMA.” The awards recognize outstanding commitment to the industry and a high level of involvement with SEMA committees, task forces, councils or board of directors’ participation.
