Brooklyn-based Rear View Safety recently unveiled the RVS-112-W Waterproof Backup Sensor Reversing System.
An upgraded version of the flagship RVS-112 Backup Sensor Revering System, all components of the RVS-112-W are waterproof, allowing the operator to install the control module outside the vehicle. This feature gives the user flexibility on installation location. The system warns drivers of potential obstacles behind their vehicle up to 8 feet away.
Using ultrasonic echo location sonar technology, the system is activated when the driver engages reverse gear. A four-zone variable audio pulse alerts the driver of potential obstacles. The audio pulse intensity increases and the audio frequency changes as the vehicle backs closer to the obstacle. These intelligent sensors automatically ignore stationary, permanent objects, such as truck steps, up to 30 centimeters away.
The RVS-112-W is available for pre-order, and will be released early next year.
