Car Back Camera Views

• General Goods

More and more new, high-end cars come with the option of a factory-installed rearview camera. But what if you want this technology without having to either buy a new car or install an expensive in-dash display? A solution is available from Virtual Reality Video Labs in the form of its VRBCS300W Wireless Back-up Camera. We hooked up the device to our 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line--a car that needs all of the added rear visibility it can get when the top is up--to see how this aftermarket device compared with factory systems.

Our major problem with this system, however, is its depth perception, which we found to be deceptive. Unlike some factory-installed reversing camera systems we have seen (such as that on the 2007 Infiniti M35 Sport), the VRBCS300W doesn't have any distance or guidance lines overlaying the video image. Additionally, the small size of the screen coupled with the wide viewing angle make it very difficult to judge distances using the system. When backing into a parking space, an image of the car behind at first appears to be a long way off, but then quickly becomes bigger, filling the whole screen and making it look like you are about to hit it. In reality, we found that we had at least three feet to go before we would have hit the car. These are the margins that make or break one's parking maneuvers in a packed urban area.

Other vehicles have backup cameras incorporated into their ($2,000 to $3,000) navigation system. They're available mostly on high-end cars and SUVs. When you shift into reverse, the nav screen shows a wide-angle or fish-eye view to the rear. Camera systems are much better at revealing objects you could not otherwise see through the windows and mirrors.

Purchasing the car backup rear view camera together with reverse rear view mirror for your car parking system is a perfect idea. ESPOW.COM online shop provides various kinds of back up reversing cameras for cars. The camera should be used with rear view mirror or rearview monitor inside the vehicle.
