Keep yourself and your loved ones safe with a backup camera! Backup cameras for cars can help prevent injury or death, as well as damage to your car.

How Do Backup Cameras Work?

When you shift your car into reverse, a rear view mirror camera turns on and transmits an image to a monitor to show what is behind you. But instead of sending a picture that a regular camera would see, a wireless backup camera sends a mirror image to the monitor so that the orientation is correct when you see it. A direct feed would reverse the image, but the Furrion backup camera corrects this, so that what you see on the monitor makes sense.

Why You Need a Backup Camera

The addition of an rv backup camera can help to prevent injury and death caused by reversing accidents, also called backover accidents. Backover accidents are when the driver reverses over another person or animal. An estimated 200 people die each year in this manner, and 14,000 people are injured from backup accidents, the majority of which are children. Many of these deaths can be prevented by adding a rear view camera to your vehicle.

Rear view cameras can reduce the blind zone in your auto by an average of 90 percent. This is because reverse cameras allow the driver to pay closer attention to the monitor while continuing to assess the risk factors as they back up. The backup camera lets the driver see clearly with a taller and wider view than the rearview mirror.

Another desirable feature of the rear view mirror backup camera is that it helps to ensure that you are making the correct decisions while parallel parking, which can be a difficult maneuver under the best of circumstances. The rear camera for cars can also aid in navigating crowded parking lots like those at the shopping mall. If you are trying to park in a busy area or tight spot, you will want a backup camera helping!
