And although the addition of a camera doesn't mean that drivers can stop looking in their mirrors, this extra vision provided by a reversing camera will alert the driver to any objects and potential hazards in the driver's blind spots.

Who Should Get A Reversing Camera?
There are many cars have been fitted with a reversing camera as standard equipment. The reversing camera provides a visual image of the area that is directly behind the vehicle and can assist with eliminating blind spots and allows for identification of potential hazards.
Reversing cameras are recommended for all vehicles, as accidents that happen during reversing or are caused by reversing unfortunately are a common occurrence. Even a minor collision or bump can lead to a large repair bill or in more unfortunate circumstances can lead to a tragic outcome. Sadly in Australia, a child is run over by a vehicle in a driveway each week.
Different Types Of Reversing Cameras
There is quite a range of different reversing cameras on the market and there are options for DIY installation kits as well as professionally installed kits or systems.
Rear View Mirror Reverse Camera Systems:
This type of reverse camera system replaces your current rear view mirror with a new rear view mirror that has an integrated monitor that will show vision from the camera. When not in use the new rear view mirror works like a normal rear view mirror as the system is only turned when the car's reverse gear is selected.
