Cordel's Forward-Facing Video System delivers crystal-clear 4K footage of your railway, day or night, in a rugged, rail-certified package.
This versatile system integrates seamlessly with other Cordel products, providing a comprehensive view of your track and surrounding infrastructure.
Built to withstand the harshest railway environments, our system can be mounted inside the cab or externally, offering installation flexibility. Its high dynamic range ensures full-color capture during daylight hours and automatically switches to infrared mode in low-light conditions.
The Forward-Facing Video System is designed for scalability, working efficiently whether you're outfitting one train or an entire fleet. It's a forward-thinking solution for modern railway operations with low maintenance requirements and compatibility with future edge-based AI analysis.
Introducing Cordel's Forward Facing Video
A compact, rugged 4K camera, for forward facing video from passenger, freight, maintenance and measuremnt trains.
4K Resolution in All Conditions

Ruggedized Rail-Certified Design
Our system is built tough for any railway environment, meeting stringent industry standards for durability and reliability.
Seamless Integration
Incorporate our video system with other Cordel products like Wave LiDAR and Locate+, creating a comprehensive railway monitoring solution.
Secure Data Sharing
Safely and easily share high-quality video data with contractors and third parties, enhancing collaboration while maintaining data security.
Virtual Inspections: Boots off Ballast
Enhance worker safety and operational efficiency by conducting comprehensive network assessments without physical track walks. This approach uses advanced LiDAR and video technology to create digital representations of railway infrastructure for inspectors to examine tracks, structures, and surrounding areas from an office. By reducing on-site inspections, railways can decrease safety risks, minimize disruptions to train schedules, and allocate personnel more efficiently.
High-Resolution Temporal Insights
Regular, detailed scans track network changes for proactive maintenance and precise long-term planning. Cordel Connect captures high-resolution data to create a comprehensive historical record of infrastructure conditions, enabling engineers and maintenance teams to analyze trends with accuracy. This data-driven approach supports effective resource allocation, optimized maintenance schedules, and improved long-term strategic planning for infrastructure investments.
LiDAR-Video Synergy
Combine 4K video with LiDAR technology to provide accurate measurements and rich contextual details for defect detection and asset condition assessment in railways. This powerful combination offers a multi-dimensional view of railway assets, providing precise geometric data and visual context. LiDAR scans deliver highly accurate measurements and 3D models of infrastructure, while 4K video footage offers precise visual information for identifying surface defects, color changes, and other visual indicators of asset condition. This synergy enables more comprehensive defect detection, identifying a wide range of issues from structural deformations to visual anomalies.
AI-Driven Data Management
Cordel Connect's AI-powered platform centralizes and analyzes diverse video data using machine learning, streamlining compliance, reducing manual effort, and accelerating data-driven decision-making. It consolidates data from multiple video sources and sensor inputs and automatically processes the data to identify potential issues and classify defects, allowing for prioritized maintenance and reducing manual effort for data interpretation.
