subject: Reversing Sensors Are Becoming An Integral Part Of Vehicle Safety Throughout Britain [print this page] Ever changing technology in Britain has brought the next level of vehicle safety to modern vehicles.
Reversing sensors, which detect objects that you could reverse into before a collision, are more popular than you might think.
In addition to the hundreds of reversing sensors with reversing alarms fitted to heavy duty vehicles, many individual car drivers also use reversing sensors to park the vehicles.
With a proximity sensor, drivers can park their vehicles quickly and safely. Before investing in your proximity reversing sensor, you should know that electromagnetic proximity reversing sensors are more costly than ultrasonic sensors, but require less maintenance.
It is important to consider where your reversing proximity sensor will fit onto your vehicle before investing. For example, you can place reversing sensors on the registration plate, reversing lamp or in your car boot.
Reversing sensors trigger reversing alarms so you should notice before you hit an object. However, it is useful to have a reversing camera fitted as well to have 100 per cent clear vision.
You may also need a specific model, so choose a proximity sensor and reversing alarms most suited to your vehicle.
An ultrasonic reversing sensor uses waves to detect obstacles surrounding your vehicle. Conversely, an electromagnetic reversing sensor generates an electromagnetic field detecting obstructions to your vehicle.
The advantage to electromagnetic reversing sensors is that you do not need to drill holes in your vehicle, being able to slot easy into your car boot.
Maintaining a proximity reversing sensor is relatively easy. There isn't any routine maintenance needed except to check for filth, frost and snow throughout the year, cleaning it with a cloth.
Installing a reversing camera system, in addition to your reversing sensors, will dramatically improve your vision.
A reversing camera system can be cost-effective and invaluable to your overall vehicle safety.
This adds an extra level of precision to your manoeuvring. Reversing cameras often have a high resolution image sensor, which produces excellent video quality both in the day and at night. Improved infrared will improve your night vision.
Quick and easy to install, reversing camera systems work as soon as you put your camera in reverse, with the rear image displaying on an LCD monitor.
Generally, reversing cameras are waterproof and can withstand heavy rain and water splashes.
Vision Techniques comprehensive range of reverse camera systems are successful throughout all transport industries and sectors.
Millions of lives have been entrusted to Vision Techniques - which is recognised as one of the UKs leading suppliers of vehicle based rear vision systems to aid safe reversing.
Reversing camera system benefits include fewer accidents, lower insurance costs and having more vehicles in operation.
