For many who hear about this system, it is more associated with action films. In such pictures, soldiers of elite units wear special glasses that allow them to see in pitch darkness. It should be noted that this system has only recently been used in cars. Before that, it was really used by military structures.

An important condition for the operation of this security system is the presence of a special camera. It is installed in the front of the vehicle, depending on the specificity of the device. This can be a separate video camera mounted in the radiator grille, in the bumper or near the rear-view mirror. The infrared sensor reacts to obstacles in a wider range than the human eye. The tracking device transmits the received data to a separate monitor, which can be installed on the console or dashboard of the machine. Some device models create a projection onto the windshield.

The night vision system allows the driver to:
In the dark, see an obstacle in advance and avoid an accident; There may be foreign objects on the road that do not reflect the light of cars in the same way as a road sign. Due to the speed of transport, the range of headlights may not be enough for the motorist to react in time. This is especially acute when a person is walking along the side of the road, and another car with a bright light is driving in the opposite lane.
