Rear view cameras with monitor for cars: selection and prices
For maximum safety when parking or reversing, you can install rear view cameras with a monitor. Thanks to them, the driver will have an excellent overview of everything that is behind the car. They will be a great addition to the parking sensors, which we have already talked about on Vodi.su.
Cameras with a monitor can be divided into several types:
- wired and wireless;
- with folding monitors that are mounted on a torpedo or on the ceiling;
- monitors installed in the rearview mirror.
There are also such types of monitors to which you can connect MP3 or DVD players, respectively, they will act as a multimedia center until there is a need for their direct use for their intended purpose. Switching to the rear view camera occurs automatically when the driver shifts into reverse gear.
Cameras cut into the bumper or installed instead of license plate lights. There are also cameras that are attached with epoxy glue. The image is transmitted both through the connected wires and through the Bluetooth module.
The most practical are monitors that cling to the central rear-view mirror.
They are of two types:
- regular - they completely replace the mirror, while performing two functions: directly rear and view mirrors and a monitor;
- universal - mounted on top of a regular mirror with a clamp.
One such monitor may have several connectors for connecting two or more cameras.
Monitor Selection
To date, there are quite a lot of automotive electronics on sale: navigators, DVRs, radar detectors - we have repeatedly written about all these gadgets on Vodi.su. With this approach, the dashboard of a car can be literally filled with all these devices.
If your main priority is saving free space, then the best option is a monitor that is installed in the rearview mirror. Out of habit, you will look at it, handing it back, while there will be enough free space on the front dashboard.
Screen size matters a lot. Today you can find products with a diagonal of 3,5 inches, up to seven or more.
Additional functionality is also very important. There are, for example, hybrid options that combine the functions of a monitor for rear view cameras and a GPS navigator, as well as a DVR. There are models equipped with Bluetooth, respectively, you will not need to pull wires through the entire cabin. Some are equipped with a touch screen, speakerphone (you can connect your smartphone to them via the same Bluetooth), and so on.
A wide variety of these monitors are available, designed specifically for passenger bus or truck applications. Such devices are especially popular among truck drivers driving truck tractors with 13-meter semi-trailers. “Sharpening” with such a trailer under the ramp for unloading or loading is not always easy, especially if there are a lot of other cars around.
The advantages of using monitors for rear view cameras and with combined functions are obvious:
- good visibility, complete safety when parking, no risk of damaging your own or someone else's car;
- the monitor does not attract the attention of intruders - recently, video recorders or navigators have become the same object of hacking and theft, like car radios;
- if you buy a wireless option, there will be no extra wires in the cabin;
- no need to remove and hide the display every time you leave the car in a parking lot or parking lot.
