Intec Video Systems has partnered with Preco Electronics, Inc. to provide our
customers with an active, integrated companion for their Rear Vision camera system.
PreView™ is a solid-state, pulsed radar object detection system designed to alert vehicle operators to obstacles. The system detects both moving and stationary objects in a pre-defined coverage area and reports the distance of the closest object to the vehicle operator via visual range indicators built in to the Intec CVD series of Car Vision displays and an audible signal heard through the remote.
The integration of the PreView consists of one or two environmentally sealed sensors and an interconnect adapter harnesses. The system is configured so that the power and signals to and from the radar system will be transmitted over the Intec camera system main cable, making installation more efficient.
The sensor assembly transmits and receives low power 5.8GHz radar signals.
It then processes the returned signals to determine if an object has reflected
any energy back to the sensor and reports this to the operator through the Intec video display. The sensor
is designed to process and report detections within 1/2 of a second allowing the vehicle
operator to quickly respond to any object within the detection zone. All connections to
a vehicle are made with the interface harness. Power is obtained from the vehicle reverse
circuit. The sensor
RF output is pulse modulated so that it will not interfere with similar devices.
