It has become more and more common for larger vehicles to be fitted with vehicle reversing cameras, as opposed to relying on the more traditional wing mirrors. However, there are still some heavy duty vehicles that have yet to be fitted, so for those of you who are uncertain about this area, here are some of the ways that you will benefit from having a vehicle reversing camera installed:
It will decrease potential damage to your vehicle. Any driver of a large retail delivery vehicle will know that some of the loading bays they’re required to slot their 3 ½ tonner into are nothing short of ridiculous. With a camera fitted to the back of the vehicle, the driver is able to negotiate walls, boxes, fire exits and the various other things some loading bays seem to place in the way purely as an annoyance. Yes, a camera will cost you money upfront, but it could potentially save you thousands in vehicle repair damage.
It will increase safety. Any company wishing to provide as much care and diligence towards it’s employee’s safety should be fitting a vehicle reversing camera to every vehicle in its fleet as standard. Combined with the correct noise alerts, the camera will ensure that your driver is well aware of any pedestrians and/or cyclists that may be directly out of his view – something that would just not be possible otherwise.
There are legal benefits. Let’s be honest, there really are some dangerous people on the road. If one of your vehicles is hit by one of these people, then the vehicle camera will catch and record every moment, leaving you with concrete evidence that would later stand up with regards to insurance companies, or even in court.
