[CLEVELAND,
OH – October 19, 2009] Mobile Awareness, LLC, a provider
of leading-edge transportation
safety products, today announced VisionStat™ Plus, an
extremely affordable and complete commercial-grade system to prevent
backing accidents. VisionStat Plus offers an integrated version
of their SenseStat™ Obstacle Detection Sensor System that
connects directly with their wired VisionStat Camera System with
no additional cabling required.
VisionStat
Plus is an advanced safety solution which combines two technologies
to aid in the prevention of costly backing accidents. Utilizing
a leading-edge obstacle detection sensor system (SenseStat), which
is displayed on a backing camera video monitor (VisionStat), the
driver is provided both audible and visual information when an
obstacle is detected in the rear of the vehicle. The combined
features allow for visual confirmation via a CCD camera along
with the distance and proximity from any of four (4) sensor zones
– the driver sees the exact distance (accurate to 1-inch),
to the closest object on the monitor.
SenseStat
is the leading-edge obstacle detection system that monitors four
4 zones simultaneously indicating the area closest to an object
or person. VisionStat is a rugged easily installable video system
available with either a 5.6” or the 7” Color LCD Monitor
which is configurable with up to four (4) infrared night vision
CCD cameras. VisionStat Plus is the extremely cost-effective result
of integrating the SenseStat™ Obstacle Detection Sensor
System directly into the VisionStat Camera System with no additional
wiring required.
“Mobile
Awareness continues to see an increasing demand among fleets for
more flexible, effective and affordable safety
systems” says Brandon Stotsenburg, Vice President of
Sales & Marketing at Mobile Awareness. “By developing
VisionStat Plus we continue our commitment to provide easy-to-install,
cost-effective and technically advanced solutions for enhanced
vehicle safety.”
In
the past, customers would choose between two of the most common
blind spot monitoring methods, a backing camera or an obstacle
detection system. While each has important advantages, the cost
of purchasing and installing two different systems was often prohibitive.
By offering an integrated version, the combined safety effects
of a VisionStat camera (visual) “Plus” the object
detection of a SenseStat sensor (audible alarm) are realized at
cost (starting at $675.00) often below other rugged camera systems
alone. VisionStat Plus is ideal for all types of single unit vehicle
fleets in urban areas where backing safety is often stressed.
Stotsenburg
concludes, “There are many advantages to utilizing active
backing sensor technology with a reversing camera
system. One of the most critical being when the driver is
not viewing the video monitor, the audio from the sensor system
can bring attention to an unforeseen object or individual behind
their vehicle. Ultimately, this added driver awareness will reduce
costs and backing accidents.”
