Integrated Camera Light

Camera images are useful for passively displaying obstacles in a vehicle’s blind spots. Unfortunately, they require the driver to actively view a monitor, in turn distracting them from their normal driving procedure. MARLEX Engineering Inc. has recognized the need to merge ultrasonic and radar based obstacle detection with newly developed mini-camera technologies. We are currently developing active obstacle sensing technology that will not only audibly alert the driver of a potential danger, but will also highlight that danger on-screen in a camera/monitor equipped vehicle.

A key component to providing drivers with an actual view into their blind-spot is the integration of a camera into their vehicle. MARLEX has developed an Integrated Camera Light for retrofit into existing Dodge Sprinter Van high-mount stoplight applications. We are currently designing other integrated Camera Light configurations to provide vehicle operators with an unprecedented view of their vehicle’s surroundings.
