Fir Tree Technology

adapting and upgrading your current System

One of the biggest benefits of using our camera systems is how easy they are to upgrade. From the start, we build everything with Plug and Play in mind. That means no messy wiring, no confusing setups—just straightforward, consistent installation that grows with your needs.

Let’s say your vehicle currently has a forward-facing, nearside, and offside camera. 

That might have been enough at the time, but now you’re thinking about adding a load camera—to keep an eye on deliveries, monitor product handling, or simply boost security. With our system, it’s a simple addition. Because of how we design our kits, we can often plug a new camera directly into your existing setup without having to start from scratch.

Load Cameras for Delivery Monitoring

Perfect for fleets carrying valuable or sensitive goods. Load cameras give you full visibility over what’s happening inside the load space—helping you resolve delivery disputes, reduce damage claims, and ensure safe handling by all parties.

Susie Cable Cameras for Trailer Monitoring

Adding a Susie (trailer connection) camera can give you eyes on the coupling process and trailer security—ideal for operations where trailers are frequently switched or left unattended. It’s a valuable upgrade for both safety and peace of mind.

Driver-Facing Cameras for Training and Safety

These are increasingly used to support driver wellbeing, identify fatigue, and review incidents fairly. Whether for high-risk routes or insurance purposes, a driver-facing camera can provide vital context when reviewing events.

Not One of Our Kits? No Problem.

While we can’t guarantee perfect compatibility with third-party systems, we’ll always do our best. Our team will work to understand your current setup and explore how we can integrate our technology into it. We’ve successfully done this many times before—but we won’t guess. If we’re not already familiar with your setup, we’ll always carry out a proper vehicle survey first to make sure everything will work as it should.
Whether you’re adding new cameras or switching systems altogether, we’re here to help make the process smooth, reliable, and future-ready.

FAQs

What if I don’t have one of your systems installed?
No problem. We’ve successfully upgraded many third-party systems. We’ll survey your vehicle to assess compatibility and identify the best way to integrate new cameras into your current setup.
What types of cameras can I add?
We offer a range of upgrades, including load cameras, driver-facing cameras, Susie cable view cameras, and additional side or rear cameras for improved visibility and safety.
Do I need a new monitor if I add cameras?
Not always. Many systems support multiple camera inputs. If your current monitor can handle the additional feeds, we’ll use it. If not, we’ll recommend an appropriate upgrade to support your expanded system.
How long does a typical upgrade take?
Adding an additional camera typically takes 1–3 hours, depending on vehicle type, camera location, and existing wiring.
Will adding new cameras disrupt my current setup?
Not if it’s one of our systems. We design everything to work seamlessly. For third-party systems, we’ll assess it first and only go ahead if we can guarantee reliable performance.
Can I upgrade my system in stages?
Yes. Many customers start with essentials like side and front cameras, then add rear, load, or driver-facing cameras later as their needs grow. Our modular approach makes this easy.
How much does it cost to upgrade?
Upgrades are typically priced per camera. You’ll pay for the cost of the camera plus installation. As a guide, most upgrades come in at around £125 per camera plus fitting. We’ll provide a clear quote before any work begins.
