Railhead Corp. Locomotive Digital Video Recorder

Railhead Corp. offers on-board video systems for locomotives, cab cars and track vehicles. The company has more than 5,500 systems installed on Class Is, short lines, and light- and commuter-rail systems worldwide.

Railhead offers a high-definition IP system that supports up to 16 cameras and delivers what the company describes as “the clearest video quality on the market.” Railhead’s Locomotive Digital Video Recorder (LDVR-HD) is Mil-Spec, FRA- and SAE-rated for durability and reliability in harsh railroad environments. The company’s LDVR-HD recorder is designed to provide “superior” video streaming capabilities, is wireless-ready, and will integrate with crash-hardened memory modules and event recorders to support the LDAR requirement.

Railhead’s “service-proven and scalable” software offers eight years of forward and backward compatibility, the company says. All video is encrypted to ensure authenticity and has a user-friendly vehicle information back office software for fleet-wide management. Railhead also works with both OEM and aftermarket suppliers to integrate and factory install its systems. In addition, the company offers custom solutions.
