BlokCam M3L Camera System for Mobile & Telescopic Cranes

Camera System for Hook Blocks on Telescoping Mobile Cranes

Modular design, compatible across a wide variety of cranes (subject to crane make / model)  - the BlokCam is a wireless system that can be quickly and easily deployed to the hook block or boom tip of a crane. The sound and view from below the camera is then transmitted and received wirelessly via the antenna systems to a screen in the cab.

This allows the operator to see and hear the load and surroundings, giving an unobstructed, live, audio/visual feed of the critical areas that working in the blind would never allow.

How BlokCam works

1. On the hook block and/or boom tip, the sensor captures the audio/visual feed and sends it to the transmitter. The signal is then transmitted to a repeater on the jib, boom, or cab. The battery powers both the transmitter and the sensor. Each component attaches magnetically and can be mounted on the block, including between the cheek plates and on the boom tip.
2. Repeater on the jib/boom and/or cab. The repeater receives the wireless signal from the transmitter and relays it back to a monitor in the cab. The repeater position and configuration are dependent on the type of crane, type of jib/boom and length of jib/boom.
3. In the operator’s cab, the live audio-visual feed is then processed and displayed on the screen positioned inside the cab, allowing the operator to see and hear live footage of everything below the camera.

Design Overview

What’s included with the BlokCam M3L system

Sensor (S5) Part # 7370022

The S5 is a 113° wide-angle lens. The low-profile design, tool-free operation, and rotatable lens allow for easy installation on any side of the hook block, including between the cheek plates.

Transmitter (T3) Part # 7370023

T3 dramatically improves the most important aspects of the BlokCam. The combination of performance, specification, aesthetics, and 71mm low-profile design makes this a must for all crane operations. Connect up to two sensors.

Battery (B6) Part # 7370032

B6 is a non-hazardous lithium 14.54V battery pack. The clever tool-free design and easy grip finger slots make it easy to install, remove, and charge. IP67.

Charger (B6-CH3) Part # 7360033

Our Li-ion charger is designed to improve the efficiency of your BlokCam batteries and the performance of the camera system.

Monitor (M3) Part # 7370014

The M3 is an all-in-one display that combines a monitor, repeater and processor into a purpose-built fast fit system. The M3 has an HD display with built-in speakers, automatic brightness control, less than 0.2 seconds of latency and multi-voltage AC and DC inputs.

BlokCam Accessories

BlokCam Office Link (OL1) Part # 7370015

BlokCam Office Link allows the data from your BlokCam to be captured in a job site office for site and crane monitoring and surveillance. Your host computer can monitor and download data from multiple systems.

4G Router (30184) Part # 7350026

With a 4G router connected to your BlokCam system, you can live stream crane footage and extract recordings from anywhere in the world (Subject to the availability of a suitable mobile network).

V-Cam (VC4) Part # 7370025

The Versatile-Cam is our hardwired option, which gives you the ability to expand your BlokCam system to include additional sensors. The build quality of the VC4, coupled with its non-intrusive size and mounting versatility, means it can be deployed in seconds and used in a multitude of scenarios. Ideal for visual monitoring and data logging of the hoist drum, luffing drum, slew ring, tail swing, and the operator’s cab.

V-Cam (VC4a)Part # 7370026

The VC4a is our hardwired camera with a built-in microphone, which is most commonly used for audio-visual monitoring and data logging of the operator’s cab.

BlokMag (BM1) Part # 7370009

Attach your crane camera system to a hook block with a curved surface. Flat, spherical, cylindrical, narrow, short, or tall, our modular BlokMag system allows flat surfaces to magnetically mate with curved surfaces flawlessly.

BlokLink Part # 7370031

Complete with hook and bow, attach your crane camera system to a crane where you cannot if the block has a curved surface. Flat, spherical, cylindrical, narrow, short, or tall, our BlokLink is the solution to provide a flat surface for your BlokCam or BlokAlert.
