Automotive Articles - Parking Systems
Parking system will help you quickly and safely park in the right place. Especially useful are such devices for beginners, who just got the rights. And even experienced drivers can get into a minor accident: it's very easy not to notice an object that is out of sight of a person, or it's difficult to calculate the dimensions of your car.
To avoid such situations, the question arises as to how to choose parking systems. There are such types of devices:
parktronics;
cameras;
round-robin systems.
With the help of parktronics, you can determine the distance between the car and other objects. The greatest efficiency is achieved at a distance of 180 cm to the nearest obstacle. Ways of signal delivery:
Sound: it is present in the most budgetary models. The more often and louder the signal is sent, the closer the object.
Digital mode: the distance to the nearest obstacle simply appears on the screen. Also you get information about the location of this object.
Choosing parking system with a rear-view camera is a more advanced option. On the screen you get full information in the visualization format regarding what is happening out of sight. Some models are able to display even the trajectory of traffic.
When selecting such elements, consider the following nuances:
The camera is exposed to strong environmental influences: sun, dust, snow.
You can install it on the bumper or even on license plates. It is important to consider the method of attachment.
Consider the possibility of efficient use of the device even in poor lighting conditions.
The standard rear-view camera does not require much effort to install, is invisible and does not require intervention in the design of the car body. The insertion chamber is mounted on the rear bumper, a special hole must be prepared for installation. The universal device can be installed in any place with the help of double-sided tape or screws. There are also special designs for the installation in the frame of the license plate.
Round-trip systems - this is the most advanced version, which allows you to get the most accurate and complete picture. For each car model, you need to select the device individually. All the information you get on the screen, without the possibility of sound notification. It is possible to get a picture with a top view or to view the recording from a specific camera.
