Dual Camera Switching Module
Blind spot management and safe parking in tight spaces are critical aspects for every driver. Most factory and Android head units feature only one dedicated video input for a rearview camera (CAM-IN / REAR-CVBS). The smart SMARTY Trend (Dual Camera Switching Module) solves this issue by combining front and rear cameras into a single intelligent system without requiring complex switches or replacing the head unit.

The module automatically manages image priority: engaging reverse gear activates the rear camera, while shifting out of reverse automatically turns on the front camera for 10 seconds to ensure effortless parking. An external button is also provided for manual front camera activation at any time while driving.
