How to choose a rear view camera for cars?

The rear view camera is only an element of the car parking system, but very important. Additionally can be used: monitor, car navigator, wireless receivers, parking sensors.

The following parameters affect the performance of the rear view camera:

• Weather conditions. For example, sudden changes in temperature, snowfall, a constant very high temperature. Here we must take into account these conditions with the characteristics of each device.
• Installation location: bumper, license plate. There are universal models that are suitable for installation anywhere, and there are regular ones for a specific place.
• A good image in all light conditions, even at night.
• The presence of parking lines, which will determine the distance from the car to the object behind.

If you choose the right model, you will forget about possible problems with parking and make this process as easy as possible.

Camera design

Functionality is not the most important selection criterion. The appearance of the car when installing the camera is at least a determining factor. It all depends on the design of the selected model:

• Established-is installed in the place intended by the manufacturer. Among the advantages can be identified inconspicuous and easy installation, does not require additional actions with the surface of the car.
• Mortise-mounted on the bumper, for this you need to make a special hole. It is secured with clips or a lock nut. Benefits-invisible, so does not violate the general form of the car.
• Universal-you can install in any place. Secured with double-sided tape or screws. The main feature is easy installation.
• For a license plate frame: framed, unobtrusive and easy to assemble.

If a regular place is provided then, of course, the best option is a regular rear view camera. If you want to choose a camera with easy installation, choose a universal one.

Image output: several options

The image can be displayed on:

• Monitor: a separate design built into the salon mirror.
• Avtonavigator: if there is a special exit.
• Auto Head Unit Monitor.

Whatever your choice, the requirements will be the same. A video input with TV signal support is required.

Optical system requirements

Do not forget about the characteristics of the camera itself, pay attention to the following parameters:

• Viewing angle. Two sides of the medal: the more the better, but too large values ​​will lead to the formation of a fish eye effect. Optimally navigate in the range of 150-170 degrees.
• Matrix type: CCD and CMOS. The first ones are distinguished by improved photosensitivity parameters, due to which you get a high-quality picture even at night. The latter are more affordable.
• Parking lines will help you correctly determine the distance from the monitor to the nearest obstacle. If necessary, you can turn it off.
• Operating temperatures-depends on the area in which you live. On average, this parameter is equal to: -25 to +65 degrees.
• Dust and moisture protection. There are three standards: IP66 (from dust and water jets), IP67 (from dust and short-term immersion in water), IP68 (from dust and moisture).

The correct device will provide you with easy parking without the risk of damaging the car. You will be able to drive in reverse, feel confident and not be afraid to bump into some object. Buy a rear-view camera in Kiev, Kharkov, Dnieper, Odessa at 130.com.ua.
