Need A Reverse Camera Installation Service?
We often wonder, how did we ever park a car without either a reverse parking sensor, or a reverse camera. Technology has advanced rapidly in such a small amount of time, and now these parking aids in most new vehicles, give drivers the ability to feel safe and secure when parking their cars.
Today, motorists tend to rely heavily on parking aids, parking sensors, reversing cameras, dash cams and blind spot sensors, to ensure they keep their cars and also others safe, whilst they drive. And it is now wonder that there are a lot of Reverse Cameras on the market to choose from.
Reverse cameras give drivers the ability to see everything behind their vehicles, and alert the drivers’ should the vehicle come within a range which is not safe. With the installation of reverse cameras, studies show that pedestrian crashes are significantly reduced, and this should give much confidence to drivers and pedestrians alike. And with 20% of all motor vehicle accidents accounting for when drivers are reversing, this demonstrates the effectiveness of how a reverse camera installation service can have on reducing this staggering figure.
How Does A Reverse Camera Work?
A reverse camera operates by having a small camera installed at the rear of the car, generally positioned under the boot latch, to stay out of sight. The camera then delivers the video footage to the cars’ inbuilt LCD screen, which clearly shows the area behind the car. Not only does the reverse camera footage show what’s behind the car, it also gives the driver additional information which includes:
- Distance markings, to make parking in tight spaces easier
- Sound alerts for when the vehicle gets too close to an obstacle
- Day & night modes to work in all light and low light environments
A reversing camera is automatically activated when the car is placed in reverse. This then activates the display on the screen, so drivers can instantly see what is behind them. However, it is often encouraged that drivers don’t only rely on their reverse cameras, and must look over their shoulders to investigate the obstacles behind them.
Reverse Camera Installation Service
Most reverse camera displays can be installed in either the drivers rear vision mirror or within their LCD Screen for their vavigation or in car stereo display panel. Either method provides similar safety features, but the reverse cameras which are installed in larger navigation screens, generally provide clearer pictures and don’t interfere with rear vision mirrors existing real estate.
By installing a reverse camera, doesn’t mean that a driver is not responsible for what they may run into in the rear of their car. Drivers still need to show caution and follow the road rules, as they would without driving aids, and they are still responsible for ensuring they drive in a safe manner.
There are a large number of reverse cameras readily available to motorists, and generally the brands with the most amount of features, are usually the preferred choice by drivers and installers.
Reversing cameras can be retrofitted to most vehicle makes and models, and are manufactured for cars, vans, trucks and buses. Reverse cameras work better in conjunction with reverse sensors as they give the driver the full view of what’s behind them, and this gives the drivers more peace of mind when reversing.
