Teachers and parents are probably top of the list of people wishing for eyes in the back of their head, but we reckon drivers aren’t far behind. Because when it comes to parking, being all-seeing and all-knowing would make life so much easier.
It doesn’t have to be wishful thinking though. With reversing cameras and parking sensors, you can take all the difficulty out of parking safely.
Reversing Camera Kits
There was a time when drivers had to rely on their mirrors, depth perception, and a bit of guesswork to keep the back of their car safely away from hedges, walls, and other people’s front bumpers.
A lot of people are afraid of reverse parking, and we wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of this fear stems from the reduced visibility and the idea that you might hit something just out of your line of sight.
Reversing camera kits take away this problem. Mounted to the back of your car, they feed real-time footage to a monitor on your dashboard, allowing you to see exactly what’s behind you.
You can also mount these cameras on the front of your car, helping you to judge the distance between your bumper and the car in front more accurately.
With these cameras you can eliminate the guesswork and improve your parking. Many cameras even have night vision modes, so that you can still park perfectly long after the sun has gone down.
Parking Sensors
Parking sensors help to give you an audible indication of how near to an obstacle your car is by playing a sequence of beeps which gets faster as you get closer to the car you’re parking in front of.
It’s much better to hear the buzz or beep of your sensor to tell you that the car behind is getting closer than it is to hear the crunch of their body work!
Parking sensors work by sending out ultrasonic waves and measuring the time they take to be reflected back. Using this time the sensor can then work out how far away an object is and the monitor on your dashboard can alert you.
Parking sensors are great for all kinds of vehicles, and while usually fitted to the back, they can also help measure distance from the sides and front of the car as well.
