What is a Reverse Camera?

The reverse camera is a camera that provides a wider field of view for drivers when they need to back up their vehicles. Although the use of mirrors and turning around in the seat to look behind the vehicle lets you see most of what is there.

You cannot see objects that are below the rear windshield. The distance between the driver and the rear of the vehicle is enough to cause inaccuracy in not knowing where the exact location of the rear bumper is going to be.

This is especially true on large vehicles, such as motorhomes and vans where estimating the position of the rear part is often guesswork. The rear-view camera takes away that guesswork and provides you with a clear view of the exact location.

The cameras themselves are often mounted at the back of the roof. They are designed primarily to assist with parking or when you need to backup the vehicle.

Advantages of a Rear-View Camera on the Sunshine Coast

There are several benefits to have a rear-view camera installed by a qualified mechanic, particularly on a large vehicle on the Sunshine Coast. The view it provides offers a better picture for the driver in the following circumstances.

Increases Safety:
The biggest concern for all drivers is avoiding hitting people or animals when backing up their vehicles. A small child or pet that walks behind the vehicle, particularly a motorhome or van can become invisible to the driver. The camera allows you to see both people and pets when backing up, so you can stop the vehicle in time.

Better Vehicle Control:
Even in a small car, backing up can be problematic when you cannot see everything behind you. Turning around fully in the seat can be taxing. And using your mirrors is not enough to feel comfortable in fully controlling the vehicle. The rear-view camera helps thanks to its full view of what is behind your car, truck, van, or motorhome.

Peace of Mind:
The rear-view camera takes the guesswork out of backing up your vehicle. You will know the distance between the back of your vehicle when backing it into a parking space. This means stopping before hitting an object because it is visible in the camera.
