What is a "backup camera"?
A backup camera is a safety device installed in vehicles to help drivers see the area behind them when reversing. It is usually mounted at the rear of the vehicle and transmits a live video feed to a screen on the dashboard. This camera provides a clear view of obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that might be out of sight from the driver's perspective, helping to prevent accidents and making parking easier.
