We live in an age where there are cameras everywhere. Just look at Google maps and you’ll realise that there are literally camera vans on every street. We have surveillance cameras on most street corners, in shops, outside homes. And one of the things that people are often told is that surveillance keeps you safe. Whether it’s worth trading privacy for security is one question, but one kind of camera definitely keeps you safe:

Rear vision kits reduce the risk of accidents

If you are using a reverse camera kit, then you have a greatly enhance awareness of the space behind your vehicle. And while awareness of citizens’ activities might not be as all-important as to justify surveillance, awareness of your surroundings is absolutely paramount when you’re driving. That’s why it’s absolutely critical to maximise your environmental awareness, and part of that involves realising that the normal assortment of mirrors and head-checks is severely limiting. There are all sorts of blind spots when it comes to reversing and parallel parking, and a camera helps to circumvent these problems by letting you directly see what’s happening behind you. Cameras are also equipped with night-vision capabilities and waterproofing, so you don’t need to worry about a wet windscreen or dark conditions.

Another situation where a reversing camera is crucial is when you’re driving a larger vehicle or towing a trailer. There are a range of camera kits available to sort everyone’s needs, including horse float reversing cameras, caravan rear vision kits, boat reversing camera kits and RV reverse cameras. The array of cameras ensures that no matter what you drive or what you’re towing, you’re in a position to reverse and manoeuvre safely on the road and off the road.

Safety Dave believes that awareness is the path to safety, and we think it’s important to stay safe of the road. So our cameras come with a wide-angle lens for maximum awareness, and a high-resolution look at what’s going on. Because what you can’t see can absolutely hurt you on the road, or it can damage your vehicle. Get a camera, and don’t risk backing into something or running something over. The peace of mind when driving and parking will be worth it – we guarantee.
