2. Key Features
- 180° Super Wide-Angle View: This camera offers a horizontal 180° and vertical 120° ultra-wide-angle lens, suitable for both front and rear vehicle applications. It helps eliminate blind spots, preventing collisions and enhancing safety, especially for large SUVs or low-profile sports cars. Featuring an HD CMOS sensor for 600,000 pixel high-definition images, it incorporates distortion correction technology for a natural 180° view with minimal distortion.
- Six Display Modes: The camera features six multi-view modes to suit various driving scenarios: 180° Super Wide View, 130° Normal View, Corner Enlarged View, Top View, Corner View + 180° View, and Top View + 180° View. These modes are particularly useful for navigating T-junctions, avoiding parking stoppers with low-clearance vehicles, and enhancing overall front/rear visibility.
- Multi-functional Operation: This camera supports both normal and mirror image switching, allowing it to function as either a front or rear camera. It also offers the option to enable or disable parking guidelines, which project the vehicle's predicted path.
- Multi-Angle Adjustment: The camera's mounting bracket allows for position adjustment to suit various installation locations. After installation, the camera angle can be further fine-tuned to achieve the optimal viewing perspective.
- 6-Layer Glass Lens: Utilizes a 6-layer glass lens for superior heat resistance and blur prevention, offering better performance than plastic lenses.
