Backeye® 360° Camera

360° Camera

All vehicles have blind spots – areas around the vehicle that are obscured to the driver by bodywork or machinery. When manoeuvring, these blind spots present a significant danger to anything or anyone in the vehicle’s path and inhibit the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle safely.

Mirrors and single-view cameras help to see blind spots, but even with this extra assistance, the driver may still not see everything in the vehicle’s path. After all, they can only be watching the road, or looking in one monitor or mirror at any given time. Research shows that in the time it takes to scan four mirrors, assess and then react to hazards, even at speeds as low as 5kph a vehicle could travel as far as 10m.

360-degree cameras are 4 cameras strategically placed on the vehicle and calibrated to give a “bird’s eye” view. This eliminates ALL blind spots on the vehicle and is very convenient for reversing or seeing what is happening around the driver. Each camera can also be viewed simultaneously to allow for a more detailed and precise image.
