Datum R2

Datum R2 turns a vehicle you already run into a road surveyor. A stereo camera mounts to the inside of the windscreen, and a compact compute unit fitted inside the vehicle looks for defects as it drives.

Detection happens on the unit itself. Faces and number plates are blurred before anything is stored, and confirmed defects are sent over the mobile network straight to your Groundtruth dashboard, with nothing for the driver to do.

Specification

What is in the unit

Capture
Stereo pair, forward road view
Mounted twin lenses record every kilometer of the road as you drive.
Processing
On-device, before storage
Detection and blurring all happen in the vehicle. Faces and number plates are irreversibly blurred before any frame reaches the disk.
Positioning
Multi-band GNSS with inertial fusion
Built-in GPS keeps tracking your position, even under tree cover or between buildings.
Storage
250GB solid state, store and forward
Coverage does not stop where mobile signal does. Detections queue on the unit and upload when the vehicle is back in range.
Connectivity
4G / 5G, multi-network
Data is compressed at the edge, transmitting only actionable payloads to keep data costs low as your fleet scales.
Power
12V or 24V accessory socket
Plug straight into the 12V socket - no hardwiring or loom required.
Enclosure
IP67 sealed and fanless
Fully sealed against dust and water, with no fan to clog or fail. Rated to run from -25°C to 65°C, so it keeps working in a truck cab through a tropical summer.
Durability
Military-standard vibration and shock
Tested to MIL-STD-810 for the constant vibration and hard knocks of waste trucks and works vehicles, and E-mark certified for installation in road vehicles.
