According to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, 2023) in the US, installing a rearview camera has helped reduce the number of accidents related to reversing by 17% compared to vehicles that are not equipped.

However, not everyone understands the rear camera and how to use it effectively. This article will give you a detailed look at the rear camera, from the advantages, common errors to how to fix the problem and notes when using it.

What is a rear camera?

The rear camera is an electronic device mounted on the rear of the car, with the function of recording images behind the car and displaying them on the screen in the car, helping the driver clearly observe the space behind when reversing or parking.

Popular types of rear cameras today:

• Wired rear camera: This is a traditional type of camera, connected to the screen via cable. The advantage is low cost, simple installation. However, wiring can be unsightly and pose a risk of fire if not installed carefully.
• Wireless rear camera: This type of camera uses wifi waves to transmit signals, making installation more neat. However, the price is higher and the signal is sometimes unstable.
• Rear camera integrated with screen: Some modern car models are equipped with a rear camera integrated into the central entertainment screen, helping to save space and increase aesthetics.

Practical benefits of rear camera

The four main benefits of a rearview camera include:

• Expanded vision: The rear camera helps eliminate blind spots behind the vehicle, especially corners that cannot be seen in the rearview mirror.
• Parking Assist: Line markings on the camera screen help the driver accurately align the distance and steering angle, making parking easier, even in tight spaces.
• Enhanced safety: Rear camera helps detect obstacles, pedestrians, children, pets, etc. behind the vehicle early, thereby preventing unfortunate accidents.
• Driving support in low light conditions: Some rear cameras are equipped with infrared lights, helping to observe clearly in low light conditions, darkness, rain, fog...

A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that rearview cameras reduce rear-view collisions by 25%.
