Vehicle Cameras: Record, Explore, Protect
Car cameras or dash-cams are used more and more to protect motorists in the case of an accident, provide extra surveillance for your vehicle and can be used to capture a memorable drive. Penske Cadillac of Southbay has seen technology make such a difference to the driving experience.Car makers are embracing technology integrated into the vehicle interior for entertainment systems, the CUE or Customer User Experience includes an LCD touchscreen that is as easy to use as a smartphone or tablet. Rear-view cameras have helped drivers maneuver the vehicle for several years now and this next generation of vehicle cameras take technology to the next level. For example, the Cadillac CT6 uses four of the vehicles’ seven exterior cameras to provide recorded video of the CT6’s surroundings. The cameras are placed in the exterior- one in each door-mounted rearview mirror, one integrated into the front grill and one mounted on the rear trunk lid.When the video recording system is activated, the cameras can capture video in one of two modes: using the front and rear cameras during vehicle operation or using all four cameras in a round-robin fashion when the vehicle security system is armed. The latter mode will only record video once the CT6 has been disturbed. The same cameras are also used to provide a 360-degree display around the vehicle on the CUE screen to aid in vehicle maneuvering.
Captured footage is stored on a standard SD card in the trunk of the vehicle. Owners can choose to save certain captures indefinitely on the SD card or they can view or save the video files onto their personal computers.The Surround Vision camera system- which is standard on CT6 Luxury, Premium Luxury and Platinum models – all have the surround-vision video recording system.
