The BVA17 is a 3D 360° around view camera system from Stonkam, designed for trucks, buses, emergency vehicles, and other large commercial vehicles. It uses panoramic image synthesis technology to stitch feeds from four 1080P cameras into a real-time 3D bird's-eye view, eliminating blind spots around the entire vehicle. The system supports 2D and 3D display modes with screen latency as low as 150 ms. Recording is handled by dual SD cards (up to 2 × 512 GB) with an ultra-capacitor that secures files on sudden power loss. Operating on 10–32 V DC, the BVA17 functions in temperatures from -20°C to +70°C.

How does the 3D 360° view improve driver safety compared to traditional mirrors?

Traditional mirrors leave significant blind spots around large vehicles — particularly along the sides and directly in front of the hood. Single backup cameras only address the rear. The BVA17 stitches four wide-angle camera feeds into a seamless 3D top-down view, letting the driver see the full perimeter of the vehicle on a single screen. The 3D rendering simulates a real driving scene with depth perception, and the system can switch between 2D and 3D perspectives. The super rear view mirror mode provides a 3D effect covering adjacent lanes, directly aiding safer lane changes and merging on highways. Automatic calibration completes in under one minute with plane correction — no manual pixel-by-pixel tuning required.

What AI safety features are built into the BVA17?

The system integrates three AI-powered driver assistance functions: Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alerts the driver when the vehicle drifts from its lane; Forward Collision Warning (FCW) detects vehicles ahead and warns of impending impact; and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) monitors both sides of the vehicle for objects in the blind zone. The BVA17 is also compatible with external AI pedestrian detection cameras offering up to 8T computing power and a 10-meter detection range, as well as radar and parking sensors with real-time video and audio overlay for obstacle warnings. An optional GPS module and Wi-Fi connectivity extend the system for fleet management applications.
