Aftermarket Backup Cameras Are the Smart Choice to Enhance the Safety of Your Current Vehicle

As many as 300 people die in backover crashes in the United States every year, according to a March 2011 U.S. News and World Report article. Approximately 1/3 of these victims are children. Another 1/3 are elderly victims over the age of 70. And, tragically, many of these accidents are preventable. One of the most powerful tools in avoiding these devastating losses is a simple backup camera. Installed in your car or truck, a vehicle backup camera expands your field of vision, bringing once-dangerous blind spots into clear view.

In fact, backup camera systems are so vital in preventing backover crashes--and saving lives--that the federal government is in the process of finalizing regulations that will require this feature on all new vehicles. While this legislation will cover all new vehicles manufactured after about 2014 (the exact timeline is still pending), that has no impact on the car or truck you already own. The good news is that you don't have to buy a brand-new car just to access the safety benefits of a rearview camera. Most mobile electronics shops now install both cameras and sensors to provide you with the utmost protection when you're headed in reverse.

Here's how it works. Mounted either in your bumper itself or in a special license plate frame, a tiny camera captures video of the entire area behind the rear of your vehicle. Then that image is displayed on a screen that's conveniently mounted on either your dash or integrated right into your rearview mirror. Working in tandem with sensors that provide an audible beep when your bumper gets too close to any object, backup cameras provide a clear picture of all that's in your path as you reverse. With a backup camera installed, you can avoid all types of backup collisions with pedestrians, traffic, trees and mailboxes, and more!

Wireless backup camera systems are even easy to install, so there's no need to string wires all the way from your bumper to your dash. Your car audio and electronics installers will be able to efficiently and effectively install your new camera system, seamlessly integrating the screen into your dash and the camera/sensors into your bumper for a finished look that appears completely stock. And best of all, your new rearview camera will bring you the peace of mind of safer driving for you, and for everyone around your vehicle. For the utmost safety, look into installing a back up camera system today.
