Installing a vehicle reversing camera is one of the best things you can do if you want to reduce your risk of backing into objects or pedestrians when reversing your car. Because it allows you to see what’s behind your vehicle, not only does it makes it much easier for you to manoeuvre your car, it also helps you avoid being involved in an accident or having to deal with a costly repair bill.
There are many types of 12v/24v reversing camera kits you can purchase for your vehicle today. But if you’re looking for something specific, you might want to consider going for a camera system with an eyeball camera. Here are some of the things that make it quite different from other CMOS or even CCD camera systems.
What makes eyeball cameras different from ordinary CCD cameras?
1. Curved sensors. Eyeball cameras have curved imaged sensors that work like an eye ball because the angle of the curve is similar to the retina of the eye. Because of this quality, the sensors enable the camera to have a wider view. Certain models of eyeball cameras, particularly those developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, even have the capability to zoom in and out of focus.
2. More compact. As compared to CCD cameras with flat image sensors, this aftermarket reverse camera is more compact. This makes the eyeball camera inconspicuous and much easier to install, which is one of the reasons why not only they are used as reversing cameras, they are used in CCTV (closed circuit television) systems as well.
3. Infrared LED integration. Eyeball cameras are often equipped with infrared (IR) LEDs, which allow them to capture clear images even at night or during low light conditions. For instance, the eyeball camera offered by Elinz Electronics has 12 LEDs surrounding the lens of the camera, allowing the latter to function without too much of a problem despite the absence of a good light source.
4. Better picture clarity. Because the angle of the curve of image sensors of eyeball cameras resemble the retina of the human eye, they are more capable of generating better picture clarity, colour contrast, and sharpness as compared to ordinary CCD cameras.
With these features, an eyeball reversing CCD camera will surely make an excellent driving aid for your car. Interested in this type of reversing camera? Then visit us at Elinz Electronics. We offer top quality reversing camera systems at very reasonable prices.
