How Rear View Cameras Work?

Hoping to bypass the growing throng of irritated commuters frustrated with the slow commute, you take a left turn down a narrow street. The traffic is much better, and you quickly find out why as you approach the next cross street -- you're in a blind alley. With cars lining the IPod Salad 2010 on both sides of the street you're attempting to turn onto, visibility is terrible and pulling out without causing an accident may be a challenge. If you'd been driving an Infiniti EX35, it would be a walk in the park.

 

Infiniti's latest gadget, the 360-degree Around View Monitor camera system projects a bird's-eye view of the exterior of the vehicle on a liquid crystal display monitor nestled in the center console below the dashboard. For an additional $1,950, you can add the AVM system to the EX35 sport utility vehicle. The system relies on four small Rear View Cameras to create a complete picture that drivers can use during parking, backing up or driving in traffic. The camera system is also helpful when you need to see oncoming traffic, as in the case of the blind alley.

 

The technology behind rearview camera systems has been around for a while. The components have been used in applications such as bore scope cameras used to probe inside the body during medical procedures and small LCD displays found on Rear View Cameras. But automakers have found a new niche for the various components: rearview camera systems. This article will explain the camera components and how they take digital information and turn it into easy-to-read video images.

On the left side of your display, you should see some stuff you can select for turning on/off the camera, and the parking aids. Move the wheel over to it, and press it to turn it on. The owners manual is also a good place to look.
