Why a rear view camera makes sense.
Sometimes technology comes along that has benefits that are hard to argue against. The rear view camera has been gaining popularity among auto manufactures and aftermarket installers alike. They are becoming a standard safety feature on many vehicles. They are an easy way to enhance safety and come in handy in many scenarios. Here are some examples of why a rear view camera is a great investment.
Operating your vehicle in reverse requires tons of concentration. Your senses have a physical reaction to moving the opposite direction you are facing. You sacrifice peripheral vision when focusing on the direction you’re moving. This makes it difficult when maneuvering out of a parking space to notice obstacles. Other cars, pets, pedestrians, and children playing can suddenly appear. A rear view camera provides you a wide-angle view whilst traveling backwards.
Sometimes while in traffic we find we have to back up. An emergency vehicle may be making its way to a scene and you have to clear the path. There is suddenly an obstacle that needs to be avoided and there is not enough forward clearance. This pressure to move quickly paired with background noise makes this a difficult task. Having a rear view camera makes it easy to assess the situation around you and safely clear the way.
On the road situations can escalate quickly. A light distraction or lapse in judgment can turn into a dangerous scenario. A rear view camera is a good tool for eliminating blind spots and enhancing situational awareness. You can’t control what other driver’s do. But you can empower and prepare yourself with the right tools. Our professionals will help you choose the right camera for you and your vehicle. And walk you through using it to keep you, your family, and those around you safe.
