Backup Safety Products

Backup safety products, or collision avoidance products, are gaining in popularity every day, and Handcrafted Car Audio is an expert in this category.

Have you ever backed out of a parking spot, only to have a close call? Or even worse, maybe you hit something? Then this article is for you. Our team has spent hundreds of hours on researching the best products on the market, and we are specialists at integrating new technology into vehicles. Here are some of our most popular products in backup safety.

Backup Cameras

Backup cameras are the most popular products in backup safety. They work on a simple premise. We mount a camera in the rear of your vehicle, as centered as possible, and an LCD display up front in view of the driver. Whenever you put your vehicle in reverse, the camera system comes to life, allowing you to see clearly behind you.

One of the major advantages of a backup camera is allowing you to see people and objects that are in your blind spot. Many senseless tragedies every year could be eliminated with the proper installation and use of a backup camera. When you factor in the aggravation of getting your vehicle fixed, and possibly someone else’s vehicle if you back into it, the cost of a backup camera system becomes even more attractive.

We have several popular options for the display used by the driver.

Integration of a factory color screen in your dash is a popular option for many vehicles, since we may be able to display the image right on the display you already have installed.

Replacement Rear View Mirrors

Replacement rear view mirrors are also popular. These involved embedding an LCD display into the glass that comes to life whenever you put the vehicle into reverse. This is a great option for many vehicles.

Standalone Screens

Standalone screens are another option for someone who wants a larger screen size or owns a commercial vehicle.

Replacement In-Dash Stereo Systems

Replacement in-dash stereo systems with LCD displays can be a great way for you to add a backup camera along with other great technology such as Bluetooth, smartphone integration like Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s Android Auto, and SiriusXM Radio.

Front View Cameras

For the ultimate in protection, we can add a front camera to your system. Now, when you pull into a parking spot, you can know for sure that your front bumper will not hit the curb and be damaged.

Parking Sensors

Parking sensors have been around for over a decade, and continue to do a great job of protecting people when they are backing up their vehicles. The premise is pretty simple: Handcrafted Car Audio will install small sensors, each approximately the size of a quarter, in the rear of your bumper. When you put the car in reverse, they become active. They use technology similar to sonar to detect any people or objects behind you. When you are approximately 6 feet away from something, you will hear a slow beep. At approximately 2 to 3 feet away, the sound goes to a fast beep. At approximately 1 foot away, it goes to a constant beep. You will hear the audible beeping from a speaker that we hide inside the vehicle in a good location.

One of the benefits of parking sensors is that weather and darkness have no effect on their performance.

Rear View Cameras

For the ultimate in protection, we suggest a rear view camera along with parking sensors. Now you have an audible alert coupled with a visual display.
