What are the effects of installing a rearview camera?
2 Answers
Installing a rearview camera has no negative impact on the vehicle, as long as the original wiring is not damaged during installation, which could affect the warranty. It is best to have it installed at a professional modification shop. More information about rearview cameras is as follows: 1. A rearview camera functions like human eyes. It uses a wide-angle infrared camera installed at the rear of the vehicle, displaying obstacles behind the car clearly on the in-car screen. 2. When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically activates the high-definition rearview camera at the back, showing a clear view of the rear on the LCD display, allowing the driver to accurately assess the road conditions behind. 3. The rearview camera features digital display + audio alerts + real-time image display + night vision + car multimedia functions. Through the rear camera, the driver can see all obstacles within the visible range on the central control screen, providing a better understanding of the rear situation.
After installing the rearview camera, my driving experience has really improved a lot. I mainly use it to assist with parking, especially in those tight parking spaces. The camera helps me eliminate blind spots, reducing the risk of scraping the car or hitting objects. In terms of safety, my rate of reversing accidents has significantly decreased, particularly in crowded urban areas. The real-time display of the rear view helps me avoid misjudgments. However, there are also some hassles—if I didn’t go to a professional shop for installation, the wiring might come loose or interfere with the car’s original circuits, causing screen flickering or faster battery drain. Additionally, after rain, the lens tends to fog up or get dirty, so I have to clean it frequently to ensure clarity. Overall, the benefits are worth it, but remember to choose a high-quality camera to avoid poor night vision with cheap products.
