Contrary to the common wisdom, cameras are not the best backup safety
solution. However, they can be a useful supplement to a proactive
system that actually warns the driver.
Although people tend to be more comfortable believing what they can
actually see, cameras have two major shortfalls:
-
They do not actively warn the driver of an obstacle (or person!)
behind the vehicle.
-
They don’t provide an accurate reading of distance. In fact, due to
wide angle lenses used in most cameras, the distance shown may
actually be quite different from what the driver THINKS he (or she)
sees.
TailGauge backup warning systems show the exact distance to the
obstacle, (accurate to within 1 inch!) while actively warning the
driver; a significantly better defense against backup accidents. They
actually eliminate blind zones.
TailGauge has developed the most accurate, most reliable backup
warning systems available. This is not a boast, it is a fact. They
combine distance readings accurate to within 1", reliability and
resistance to ‘falsing’. And the addition of a rear view camera
(should you desire it) can be a very useful supplement to our
proactive system. |
