Is it still necessary to install a parking sensor after equipping a car with a reversing camera?
1 Answers
After installing a reversing camera, you can also install a parking sensor. Both are parking assistance devices. The parking sensor can alert the driver to surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, while the reversing camera provides a more comprehensive view of the rear situation through real-time images. Precautions for installing a parking sensor: Check the internal structure of the rear bumper for any obstructions, such as the vehicle frame or impact-absorbing foam blocks, and try to avoid installing in these areas. Measure the total distance between the wheel arches at both ends of the rear bumper and mark the precise positions for the four sensors. The spacing between the four sensors should be equal and aligned horizontally. If there is a license plate in the middle, distribute the sensors symmetrically on both sides. The installation surface should not have excessive curvature. Precautions for installing a reversing camera: Ensure all wires are securely wrapped with waterproof tape; the camera must be installed in the correct position; the video cable must be hidden and routed properly; the main unit's installation and wiring should be correct, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
