This aftermarket automotive accessory integrates a camera into a standard license plate frame. The device provides a video feed to a display screen, typically mounted on the vehicle’s dashboard or integrated into the rearview mirror. It assists drivers in viewing the area directly behind their vehicle when reversing, mitigating blind spots. For example, a driver parallel parking might use this device to observe the curb and any obstacles behind their car.
These devices contribute to enhanced driver safety by providing visual confirmation of potential hazards. The incorporation of this technology addresses limitations inherent in traditional rearview mirror systems. Over time, vehicle designs have evolved, sometimes increasing blind spot areas. This technology arose as a response to these challenges, offering a practical solution for improved situational awareness and reduced risk of collision.
