According to Pearl Auto’s
website, Pearl Rear Vision is a solar-powered backup camera for cars, which
provides the driver with an extensive vision of the car’s surroundings. With futuristic
image processing of “high dynamic range scenes”, the rearview screen is perceptible
under direct sunlight while the dark mode enables visibility in minor light
situation. It has an alert system that provides the driver with audio and
visual alertness when there are obstructions to the lane caused by incoming
traffic. The alert may be in the form of a motion of waves or intonation, which
becomes firmer as obstacles are in closer proximity. The rearview camera is not
only effortlessly set in place on a car’s number plate, but it is also theft-proof and
uses the driver's phone via the Pearl application as the screen. For these reasons,
while there are many similar products in the market, Pearl Rear Vision is a
superior product that can stand out from its competitors as it provides many
unique functions.
One such function of the Pearl
Rear Vision is the ability of the drivers to use their smartphones such as
Android or iPhone to control the view of the camera. In contrast, Pearl Rear
Vision’s competitor, Garmin, has a similar product Garmin BC 30 that provides a similar function such as the visibility of incoming traffic to avoid accidents.
However, the driver needs to buy an additional portable navigator component in
order to synchronize with the camera to view the footage. Therefore, Pearl Rear
Vision provides greater convenience for drivers as smartphones can substitute as
the navigator instead of purchasing one that sets Pearl Rear Vision apart from
competitor’s product like Garmin BC 30.
Another function of Pearl Rear Vision would be the alert system that becomes
firmer when obstacles are in closer proximity. This can help to alert the
driver to obstacles and minimize the risk of potential accidents. In contrast,
according to Garmin's website, Garmin BC 30 does not have the package deal that
comes with an alert system which is an important function for a rearview
camera
A vital function that makes Pearl
Rear Vision unique compared to other competitors would be an easy installation.
Pearl Rear Vision's rearview camera can be set up easily without any drilling,
wires or professional installation, which is hassle-free for users. In
contrast, Garmin strongly advised users to get Garmin BC 30 professionally
installed due to the complex installation required. According to a community forum
for Garmin BC 30, many users had encounter problems with the installation of
the Garmin BC 30. As an important factor, users consider when choosing a rearview
camera would be the ease of installation, Pearl Rear Vision's rearview camera
stands out from competitors' products like Garmin BC 30.
The unique functions offered by
Pearl Rear Vision makes the rearview camera a superior product by providing
convenience for the users such as easy setup, an alert system as well as the pairing of the driver’s mobile phone with the camera, bringing the user
futuristic product without the change of car. These array of functions, help to
prevent and minimize road accidents, which is the ultimate purpose of the
rearview camera.
