INTENDED USE

The STREX Reverse Camera Set with one or two cameras is designed to enhance visibility and safety while reversing or manoeuvring a vehicle.
A single-camera setup is typically mounted at the rear of the vehicle to provide a clear view when reversing.

This helps the driver avoid obstacles, pedestrians, and other vehicles, making it a common feature in cars, vans, and smaller trucks.
A dual-camera setup offers additional exibility and functionality.
While one camera is positioned at the rear for reversing assistance, the second camera can be placed in different locations depending on the driver’s needs.

It can be mounted on the front bumper to assist with parking in tight spaces, on the side mirrors to eliminate blind spots, inside a trailer or cargo area to monitor the load, or at the back of a trailer for improved visibility when towing.
These camera systems are particularly beneficial for larger vehicles such as trucks, RVs, buses, and trailers, where blind spots pose a greater risk.

There are no other uses for this product.
Only use the Reverse Camera Set as described in this manual.
Any other use is considered improper and may result in personal injury or material damage.

STREX is not liable for damage or injury resulting from improper or careless use.
