The start of a new school year brings more vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists onto local roads. Morning commutes become busier, school parking lots fill quickly, and afternoon pickup lines can create tight spaces with limited visibility.
What vehicle upgrades can help with back-to-school driving? Dash cameras, blind spot detection systems and backup cameras can provide drivers with additional information about what is happening around their vehicles. These technologies do not replace attentive driving, but they can add useful visibility during everyday trips.
Capture More of the Road With a Dash Cam
A dash cam can record important moments during morning commutes, trips to school and daily errands. It can also provide a record of unexpected situations on the road.
The VOXX ADAS ACADC5 4K AI Dash Cam with Blind Spot Detection records in 4K at the front and 1080p at the rear. It also includes driver-assistance alerts for supported events such as lane departure, forward collision, pedestrian detection and rear collision.
Built-in GPS can record location and speed information, while parking mode is available when the system is connected with the required hardwire kit. The included display provides access to recordings and system settings directly inside the vehicle.
For drivers researching a dash cam with additional awareness features, the ACADC5 combines road recording and driver alerts in one system.
Add Awareness Around the Sides of the Vehicle
Changing lanes can be more difficult when traffic is heavy or when motorcycles and smaller vehicles are harder to see.
The VOXX ADAS ADVBSD30 Blind Spot Detection 3.0 system uses radar sensors installed behind the rear bumper. Interior indicators provide visual and audible alerts when the system detects supported objects within the vehicle’s blind spot.
The system also includes rear cross-traffic alerts. This feature is designed to alert the driver when a vehicle approaches from the left or right while the equipped vehicle is reversing—a useful capability in crowded school, grocery store and event parking lots.
Improve the View While Reversing
A clear rear view can make it easier to navigate parking spaces, driveways and other tight areas.
The VOXX ADAS ACAM4 HD Wide-Angle Backup Camera features a 150-degree viewing angle and selectable parking lines. Its license-plate-mounted design provides a practical upgrade option for compatible vehicles that need improved rear visibility.
Backup camera compatibility and display requirements vary by vehicle, so the system should be reviewed with a professional installer before purchase.
Find the Right Upgrade for Your Vehicle
The best visibility solution depends on the vehicle, the driver’s needs and the technology already installed. Some drivers may benefit most from a backup camera, while others may prefer a dash cam, blind spot detection system or a combination of upgrades.
A professional installer can review vehicle compatibility, recommend the correct components and properly position cameras or sensors.
