Reversing cameras not only save money because at best they prevent accidents, they also save lives in some cases by giving the driver a better view of the rear. This allows the vehicle driver to be more aware of what is going on behind his vehicle. But what exactly is a reversing camera? A rear view camera is a camera that is attached to the rear of a vehicle. It allows the driver to see what is happening in the blind spot behind his vehicle, for example. Reversing cameras are important because they offer the driver more control and visuality and, especially in newer vehicles, are often already installed as standard. We tried it out directly with the Lanmodo Vast Pro Night Vision System and installed a reversing camera on our vehicle. Usually the driver can see very little or nothing at all. Which objects, obstacles or people are behind your own car? The rear view camera allows you to see exactly that.

Although some drivers master reverse parking quite quickly, for others it remains a mystery forever. Judging the right distance between your car and the car behind you is a tough job for some, even after years of road experience. The number of accidents caused by these scenarios is still very high. Which in turn is a reason for the high premiums of accident insurance. However, if one invests in a rear view camera, the chance of being involved in such an accident should be significantly reduced. And fewer accidents usually mean a lower premium in terms of accident insurance. Some accident insurance companies even pay premiums for using a camera. And you save yourself only an Remplators or scratches at the rear of the system has often paid off.
can a reversing camera save lives?
Every year countless accidents occur in which young children are tragically run over by their own parents. This often happens when driving backwards. These children are too young to know better and their parents do not see what is going on behind the vehicle while they are backing out or into parking spaces. Animals also often run behind cars and die in the process. A reversing camera allows you to park or park confidently and with the certainty that there is no child or animal behind your vehicle. It also gives you enough time to suddenly brake should someone or something suddenly run behind your car.
Other advantages of a reversing camera
Another advantage of a reversing camera, for example, is that it makes it much easier to attach a caravan or other trailer because the vehicle can be positioned precisely. The ergonomic advantages for your body also play a not insignificant role. Normally you would have to turn around constantly to look back. This puts a strain on your neck and your spine. A reversing camera allows you to comfortably see ahead and still keep a full overview of what is happening behind the vehicle. The other advantages of a reversing camera include, for example, if you are involved in an accident, you will have video evidence afterwards if you have installed a camera with a function for recording. This can potentially save you money in terms of potential court costs.
