Spring’s warmer weather welcomes a new community of drivers back to the country’s roads: as summer draws nearer, more and more RVs will arrive to celebrate the season. RVs are rewarding to own, exciting to drive, and convenient to have on long, cross-country road trips, but their larger frames make them more difficult to pilot. Successful driving in an RV requires specialized skills and knowledge, since many of the most familiar driving maneuvers such as turning and parking are distinctly different in an RV. There’s no substitute for experience, but it’s wise to protect yourself as you learn, especially if you’re a new RV owner or getting used to a new vehicle’s particular issues. That’s why our company, Rear View Safety, carries a full selection of backup camera systems for RVs and hosts a wealth of information about installation, operation, and maintenance.

We employ top safety experts and connect drivers with the equipment they need to cover for blind spots and minimize risk. RV accidents can be especially dangerous, so it’s important to have protection for every angle. Contact us and we’ll make sure you have the knowledge and equipment you need to make the most of this vacation season in your RV. We’re the backup camera system experts, and we’re eager to help.

As leaders in the vehicle safety field, we’re dedicated to staying current with the latest studies and data. Our experts found the results of a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study especially informative.

The tests confirmed some of the basic knowledge that powers our business, such as the superior inherent visibility of smaller cars versus larger SUVs. It also revealed some surprising statistics, including relevant information for all drivers concerned with pedestrian safety. During the tests, the IIHS discovered that, in most cases, drivers using mirrors and windows alone cannot spot a one-year old infant anywhere within 27 feet of the vehicle’s rear bumper. That’s sobering news, but thankfully, the IIHS tests also suggested an effective and affordable solution. According to the study’s findings, backup camera systems are more effective than parking sensors in detecting pedestrians or other hazards in a driver’s blind spot. The most current IIHS estimates have calculated that vehicle backup cameras reduce blind spots by 90%. That means drivers who trust backup cameras are simply operating on a different level of safety from unprotected counterparts.

Studies like this reaffirm Rear View Safety’s commitment to equipping drivers for optimal performance and trustworthy safety on the road. To view more statistics about rear view cameras or browse a comprehensive selection of the newest models, visit RearViewSafety.com.

Owning a truck offers drivers many advantages. First and foremost, a truck is an amazing utility vehicle, with room for extra cargo and the power to transport cumbersome or bulky items for long distances. A truck is also effective in inclement weather, capable of handling on-road conditions better than more delicate or compact vehicles. One of the few ways in which a truck struggles to keep up with its smaller counterparts is in ease of use: as a larger vehicle, a truck presents unique challenges for parking and everyday maneuvers. Smart drivers make sure to take measures that balance this out and create a safer and more satisfying experience behind the wheel. The best way to maximize truck performance and safety? Investing in a truck backup camera.

Many of the cameras designed by Rear View Safety’s tech experts are especially useful for trucks with larger frames. Video feeds can help truck drivers cover for blind spots and make better choices on the road. At the same time, the cameras are tough enough for use in all conditions and on board high-performance vehicles: with exemplary shock resistance and weatherproofing features, they’ll stand up to regular use and continue to impress.

For some dedicated drivers, spring weather means only one thing: road trips. Now that it’s once again possible to open the windows and feel the breeze from behind the wheel, more drivers will be flocking to the nation’s highways in search of a great road experience. There are lots of ways to make the most of the warmer weather, and one of the best is to invest in new technology that makes driving safer and more enjoyable. From individual vehicle backup cameras to more comprehensive backup camera systems, monitoring tech is an addition that will suit any driver celebrating the arrival of spring.

Commercial fleets carrying seasonal items or even passengers long distances can derive a great deal of benefit from rear view cameras, which provide coverage for blind spots and present additional information to help operators make optimal decisions. Backup cameras, sensors, and more are also great for RVs, vans, and other traditional cross-country vehicles. Larger cars and trucks often need special protection, and the newest safety technology for cars is one of the most  intuitive, affordable, and effective means available. Rear View Safety, a retailer, manufacturer, and advocate of rear view cameras and accessories, stands ready to assist customers with information and resources at its newly-updated website.

Vehicle backup cameras are the major focus of this blog and its associated company, Rear View Safety, a retailer and industry expert, but there is an entire field of technology to support automotive safety. Backup sensors are one of the most established items in this field, supporting comprehensive back up camera systems with a new type of sensory input: audio. Already pre-installed on many of the world’s most trusted models, backup sensors provide audio cues to alert drivers of possible obstacles at the rear of the vehicle. Backup cameras are perfect for covering blind spots and assist with parking and other maneuvers, but rely on the driver to interpret the data they provide. A backup sensor uses advanced technology to automatically warn the driver when an object or vehicle is nearby.

In combination, these two additions can protect a car from almost any situation on the road. More and more corporate fleets and major shipping companies are turning to Rear View Safety to purchase the technology that makes their services more valuable and more secure. At the same time, personal operators are enjoying more peace of mind than ever, protected by the latest advancements. Find out more on this blog or at the company’s website!

Vehicle backup cameras are essential technology for safe driving, especially for corporate operators, but they’re just one aspect of a successful backup camera system. An advanced camera will capture the footage a driver needs to make the best decisions behind the wheel. That information is only useful, though, when it’s displayed on a monitor for the driver to see. Today’s monitors are advanced models with many options to suit a driver’s personal preferences. Some of our bestselling and most effective setups incorporate the monitors we’re spotlighting today: split screen vehicle backup camera monitors.

The pictured model features a quad view, allowing drivers to get a full, comprehensive picture of road conditions with a single glance. The industrial-grade system is also completely weatherproof. We often recommend it for delivery and service companies operating on strict deadlines, but it’s also ideal for the dedicated personal driver who makes safety a priority. Durable and reliable, this model is highly rated for impact and built to resist the typical shock stresses of everyday driving. In addition, the monitor mirror-images video feeds so that drivers can react naturally to what they see.
