Wireless Car Backup Camera System with 3.5 in. Color LCD

We all know that the limitation of the rearview
mirror. Driver cannot see the wide angle as well as the image below the trunk
through the rearview mirror. Backover accidents happened when careless driver
forgot to turn their head around. Or driver just presumed that there was nothing
behind the vehicle as before they checked. Lower object or human such as
children riding on bicycles, dogs running around or just simply a trash bin
could ruin one’s day.

SUV or newer design cars have higher rear end which
limited the viewable angle of drivers from rearview mirror. That’s why we need
the rearview camera system. There are some manufacturer has made such product on
the market now. One of the example is GF350RW.

GF350RW is a wireless rearview camera system with 3.5
inches color TFT LCD. The system contains a 3.5 inches color LCD and an
infra-red night vision camera. The monitor has control for brightness, image
rotation or mirror image, AV input. Mirror image acts as the same image you
would see from a rearview mirror. It comes with monitor mount kits for dashboard
and air vent output.

The camera consist of CMOS sensor lense with full color
imaging. It’s durable case makes the whole camera to be waterproof and snow
proof. It has built in 6 LED to assist the night vision ability. With 110 degree
horizontal and 80 degree vertical viewable angle, the camera can be mounted on
the license plate.

Another good example is item number:

Parking sensor’s wire is not enough for my pickup truck

Ben — Fri, 15 May 2009 09:02:54 +0000

For some SUV or pickup trucks, to find a parking sensor
system with long enough wire may be a difficult job to do. If you are a online
shopper, make sure to ask the sellers or online shop owner specific for the
length of the wire from the sensor to the control box (or central process box /
CPU). Here is the idea, parking sensor system prices vary from shops to shops.
In the price competition time like now, shoppers tend to buy the system with
lowest price, although I don’t recommend the cheaper the better.

The longer wire means the higher the cost. Some
manufacturers / distributors of the parking sensor system want to sell more at
lower cost, so the shorter the wire the better.

The question is that, can I just extend the wire
after I purchased the short wire sensor? The answer is not quite. The sensor are
sending out the sonar wave for detecting the distance. And the central process
unit (CPU) is the "brain" to process the actual distance. The accuracy of the
distance is depending to many factors, the length of the wire is one of the
factors. Therefore, the manufacturer will pre-adjust the CPU to fit to certain
length of the sensors. So by extending the wire by ourself may cause the
inaccuracy of distance detection.

So next time, make sure to ask the seller for the
length of the sensors before you click on the "purchase" button.
