WAECO: the best choice for safe driving

Safe driving starts with keeping a constant eye on the traffic. This truism is the idea behind a unique innovation in the well-proven range of reversing video systems offered by automotive accessory specialist WAECO. The company‘s new system, PerfectView LCD590 incorporates a twin camera with two differently aligned lenses. Apart from surveying the area right behind the vehicle, this camera also provides long-distance vision towards the rear

Its secret: two camera modules with different viewing angles integrated in the camera housing

The first camera, with a viewing angle of 40 degrees, covers a long monitoring range far beyond the vehicle‘s rear giving a standard „rear view mirror“ view – often not available in the latest models of caravans and motorhomes . This mode provides maximum safety when driving on motorways as it helps avoid risky overtaking manoeuvres.

The second camera, with a 140-degree wide-angle, provides an optimal view of everything happening immediately behind the vehicle – ideal for safe reversing or parking. This camera is activated when reverse gear is engaged

The WAECO PerfectView LCD590 system offer several obvious advantages over systems with swivel-lens cameras

The camera also features a high-quality microphone for complementary acoustic support. When moving forward the LCD monitors M511L (PerfectView LCD590) show the long-distance view towards the rear. When reverse gear is engaged the system changes over to the close-vision mode. Thus it‘s easy to keep a perfect overview in any traffic situation.

PerfectView LCD590 monitor (M511L) measures five inches diagonally
