Parkkikamerat

Parkkikamerat, also known as parking cameras or rearview cameras, are electronic devices that assist drivers when backing up or parking their vehicles. These cameras are typically mounted on the rear of a car, often near the license plate or bumper. They capture a wide-angle view of the area behind the vehicle and transmit the video feed to a display screen, which is usually integrated into the car's dashboard infotainment system or a separate rearview mirror.

The primary function of a parkkikamera is to enhance driver awareness of obstacles and blind spots that may not be visible through traditional mirrors. This significantly reduces the risk of collisions with pedestrians, other vehicles, or stationary objects, particularly in tight parking situations. Many modern parkkikamerat also feature dynamic or static parking lines that superimpose guide lines onto the video feed, indicating the vehicle's projected path based on steering wheel input.

The adoption of parkkikamerat has been driven by increasing concerns for vehicle safety and the desire to prevent minor accidents and property damage. They are now a standard feature in many new vehicles and are also available as aftermarket accessories for older models. The technology continues to evolve, with some systems offering higher resolution images, improved low-light performance, and even 360-degree views by combining multiple cameras.
