Sidekameraer

Sidekameraer, also known as side-view cameras or blind-spot cameras, are automotive safety features designed to improve visibility for drivers. These cameras are typically mounted on the side mirrors or fenders of a vehicle and provide a wider field of view than traditional mirrors, particularly in areas that are prone to blind spots.

The primary function of sidekameraer is to detect objects, pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles in the driver's blind spots. This is especially useful during lane changes, merging into traffic, or when maneuvering in tight spaces. The images captured by the sidekameraer are usually displayed on a screen within the vehicle, often integrated into the infotainment system or a dedicated display. Some systems alert the driver visually or audibly when an object is detected in the blind spot.

These cameras contribute to enhanced road safety by reducing the risk of accidents caused by unseen hazards. They are becoming increasingly common as standard or optional equipment in new vehicles, reflecting a growing emphasis on driver assistance technologies. The effectiveness of sidekameraer can be influenced by factors such as weather conditions, lighting, and the cleanliness of the camera lens. Regular maintenance and cleaning are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
