peruutuskamera

Peruutusperuutuskamera, also known as a backup camera or reversing camera, is a type of video camera installed on the rear of a vehicle. Its primary function is to assist the driver in reversing maneuvers by providing a live video feed of the area behind the vehicle. This greatly reduces the risk of accidents, especially when backing into tight spaces or when visibility is obstructed by the vehicle's bodywork, headrests, or other passengers.

The camera typically activates automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear. The video feed is usually displayed on a screen integrated into the car's dashboard, often part of the infotainment system or rearview mirror. Many modern peruutuskamera systems also include dynamic guidelines, which are lines superimposed on the video display that indicate the vehicle's projected path based on the current steering angle. Some advanced systems may also incorporate sensors to provide audible or visual warnings of nearby obstacles, further enhancing safety.

The widespread adoption of peruutuskamera systems has been driven by their proven effectiveness in preventing collisions, particularly those involving pedestrians and cyclists, and their contribution to improved driver confidence and convenience. Regulations in many countries now mandate the inclusion of backup cameras in new vehicles, highlighting their importance as a safety feature.
