LiXplore® camera-monitor systems
Liebherr camera systems are designed for the demanding operating conditions of mobile machinery. Designed to withstand temperature fluctuations, dust, humidity and changing light conditions, our cameras and camera systems have been proving their worth for years in Liebherr Group machines and those of external customers.
But the range of applications goes far beyond construction machinery. Our camera systems are also an efficiency-boosting application for all mobile machines in the fields of agriculture and forestry, off-road, material handling, waste disposal and special vehicles. These include sprayers, harvesters, reach stackers, municipal vehicles and many more.
If you want to monitor the entire working environment around your machine, our 360°system is the ideal choice. The seamless bird's eye view enables the machine operator to safely identify people and objects in the work environment.
On the other hand, if you're looking to monitor specific details of a work process or specific areas of the environment, such as the machine's attachment, our LiXplore® camera-monitor system is the perfect solution. It provides targeted monitoring for increased precision during the work process.
We are here to provide personalised advice on which system best suits your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
360° surround view system
There is no difference. Whether called Bird's Eye, Top View or Surround View systems, they are essentially the same: Digital camera images are combined to create a seamless 360° surround view. Liebherr's LiXplore® Bird's Eye surround view system uses digital cameras that have been tried and tested in the Group's machines for many years. The system delivers consistently high HD image quality, even in changing light conditions.
Yes, the LiXplore® Bird's Eye system is also suitable for retrofitting existing machines.
Use our technical data and 3D models to determine if our system is compatible with your machine. If you have any specific questions, our team will be happy to help.
Of course you can. You can see how well this works on a wheel loader, for example, here.
No, it is not necessary. The rear view of the machine is already built into the system and can be selected and displayed via the touch screen.
Yes, our system can display a 270° view instead of a full 360° surround view. This allows you to focus on capturing the side and rear areas of the machine.
System settings and user interface
Our system offers two options, landscape and portrait, so you can choose the format that best suits your viewing needs.
Yes, our system can send the same video stream to multiple displays so that identical images can be displayed on different workstations. Read how our digital cameras are helping system7, a track maintenance machine manufacturer, meet this challenge.
Absolutely! You can customise the company logo that appears on the system startup screen to give it a personal touch. You can also choose a unique colour scheme for the interface. In addition, overlays can be used to define specific danger zones and maximum distances based on the work process.
First steps and calibration
Yes, it is possible to calibrate our system in the field using our calibration mats. Simply place the mats on a flat surface and press a button on the display to initiate and complete the calibration process. The entire process typically takes approximately 5 minutes.
No, there is no need to measure the mats before calibration.
See how quick and easy it is to calibrate our system.
