The mobile application designed for use with Furrion’s line of rear observation systems enables a user to view the camera’s feed directly on a smartphone or tablet. This facilitates easier maneuvering of recreational vehicles and trailers by providing a live visual of the area behind the vehicle. As an example, the application can display the view from a Furrion rear camera mounted on an RV, aiding in parking and obstacle avoidance.
This type of application enhances safety and convenience during travel and setup. The ability to monitor the area behind a large vehicle reduces the risk of accidents and damage. Historically, such systems required dedicated monitors, but the shift to mobile applications allows users to leverage devices they already own, streamlining the user experience and potentially reducing costs. The technology represents an improvement in situational awareness during vehicle operation.
