Can we make do with just reverse camera ? or just parking sensors ?


Please suggest what would be value add if I install the reverse camera.

One minor thing would be that you do not have to turn back and see for clearance, although the sensors work just fine. We humans tend to turn back and see.

Even with a camera, I majorly rely on ORVMs and parking sensor alerts. It's just a matter of getting used to the dimensions. Camera is helpful in certain scenarios, such as reversing in a straight line or parking very close to an object behind. Then again it acts as a supplementary feature, as the most important task of judging the proximity is done by sensors.

If the incremental cost is 5-10k for the camera, it's a good thing to have. Otherwise it doesn't add much in terms of convenience if you can manage with parking sensors.

Which camera is this?

I am looking for just the reverse camera (without the wiring). Would anyone have any ideas for this ?

The Android 9 inch display is Bassoholic while the camera is a generic HD night vision camera with 9 IR LEDs and 170 degree field vision I bought at Rs.2000/- from the Installer.
