Have you ever had a close call when backing up your vehicle because you can’t see backing up? Probably all of us have had that experience more than once. Extreme Audio is here to help eliminate those close calls for you in the future. For more than 15 years, we have been offering driver safety devices. When you compare their reasonable cost to the savings in life, property and time lost, they are great investments.
Take a quick moment to watch our video before we learn more about backup safety devices:
Backup Camera Systems
Backup camera systems seem to get more popular by the day. As vehicle manufacturers starting adding them to their vehicles, more and more people are getting exposed to their benefits. Their premise is pretty simple: When you place your vehicle in reverse, a screen mounted in front of the driver turns on and displays an image from the rear-mounted camera of whatever is behind you, helping eliminate your blind spot.
Here are some of our most popular products designed to help you back up more safely.
Backup Camera Monitors
We primarily sell four different types of monitors here at Extreme Audio in Richmond for our backup camera systems.
Backup Camera Monitors – OEM Screen
If your vehicle has a color screen in the dash, we can often install an integration device to display the backup camera image right there, using your existing screen.
Backup Camera Monitors – Radio Replacement
If your vehicle didn’t come with a color screen in the dash and you like that design, we can often replace your existing in-dash stereo system with a new one that includes a touchscreen monitor. These units can also bring many new technologies to the table, such as Bluetooth, SiriusXM, USB ports, CarPlay, Android Auto and HD radio, which may be a second reason to add one to your vehicle.
Backup Camera Monitors – Replacement Rear View Mirror
Another popular option is a replacement rear view mirror. Under normal circumstances, the mirror looks completely stock, but whenever you place the vehicle in reverse, an LCD monitor lights up and displays right there on your mirror in a convenient location. We have multiple screen sizes available in this category.
Backup Camera Monitors – Standalone Monitors
Standalone monitors are just what they sound like. These are screens that are added to your vehicle in a convenient location with the sole purpose of displaying the image behind you. This solution is very popular for commercial vehicles, since you can get large screens that make it easy to maneuver those big vehicles into tight spots.
Backup Cameras
When it comes to choosing a backup camera, Extreme Audio primarily sells two different styles.
Backup Cameras – Standard-View
Our standard-view cameras will give you a good view directly behind your vehicle and are good for backing up, hooking up trailers and avoiding most obstacles.
Backup Cameras – Wide-View
Our wide-view cameras take your safety to the next level. They have a 180-degree viewing field and allow you to see people and items that a normal camera can’t pick up. These can help you notice things like a person with a shopping cart or a vehicle about to drive behind you. We particularly love these cameras for SUVs that have large blind spots off to the side.
Backup Sensors
Backup sensors are another great safety item that work on a simple premise. We flush small sensors into your rear bumper and, as you get closer to an object, an audible beeper goes from a slow beep to a fast beep as you get closer and finally a constant tone. They are great for depth perception and work well by themselves or when added to a backup camera system. When you combine both, you get the benefit of a visual view as well as an audible one for an accurate gauge of how close you are to something.
